Therapy for Adults & Couples in Silver Lake

ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP) | EMDR-trained

I work with adults and couples who are capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to follow through in their daily lives. 

Choosing a therapist isn’t easy, you may have been debating therapy for a while and are overwhelmed with finding a match and building trust with someone new. You may be facing stresses at work, conflict in your relationships, or be overwhelmed and unable to manage your stress.

Finding a therapist who you feel like you can share with and who has the skills to help you grow is the first step. My hope is that as you explore this site, you'll get a sense of how I work and whether it feels like my guidance will support you so you can finally exhale.

I enjoy working together. Looking at how your nervous system, life experiences, and emotional expressions affect the way you move through the world. Let’s find ways to create more understanding, practical change, and ease in your day-to-day life and relationships. For those that are neurodiverse I have extra added training to help you connect the dots between self, family, and experience so you can feel more in tune with yourself and less overwhelmed.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Offers Therapy for Adults Teens and Children in Silver Lake and West Los Angeles

I've been in my Silver Lake office for 14 years. It's located at 1741 Silver Lake Blvd Ste 2B, just south of the reservoir. I enjoy how quiet and peaceful the area is, and how the reservoir brings the community together. People are out walking, talking to others, and spending time in my neighborhood. I like that it's located in the diverse Los Angeles Eastside community. Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and Echo Park are all so different. The environment, energy, and people change tremendously when you go from one place to the next. My current office is quiet. It gives people a chance to take a pause and to reflect upon themselves and their life. It's hard in Los Angeles to find an area like Silver Lake. It's unique.
