Individual Therapy

I work with individuals seeking to better understand themselves, navigate life’s challenges, and create meaningful change. Whether you’re struggling with specific symptoms or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers a space to slow down, reflect, and develop new ways of being.

When to Seek Therapy

People often wonder when it’s the “right time” to start therapy. There’s no single answer, but some common moments include:

  • When anxiety, depression, or other symptoms begin interfering with daily life
  • During major life transitions (e.g., career changes, relationship shifts, loss, or identity exploration)
  • When old patterns keep repeating despite your best efforts to change them
  • When you feel disconnected from yourself or others
  • When you’re functioning well but sense something deeper needs attention
  • When you’re curious about personal growth and self-understanding


You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many people find that working on themselves during relatively stable periods leads to the most profound growth.

What Individual Therapy Looks Like

Therapy is a collaborative process. In our work together, we develop an attuned, safe relationship where deeper understanding can emerge. While conscious insight is valuable, lasting change requires a bodily-based, emotional understanding that happens through the therapeutic relationship itself.

I work from multiple perspectives:

  • Psychodynamic: exploring how your unconscious mind and past experiences influence present reactions
  • Somatic: understanding how emotions and trauma are stored in your body
  • Interpersonal Neurobiology: examining how relationships shape who you are
  • Mindfulness: cultivating present-moment awareness to reduce suffering


Because we are complex human beings, I work holistically, incorporating the mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, and relational aspects of your experience.

Common Issues I Address

I work with people navigating a wide range of concerns:

  • Anxiety and depression
  • Trauma and its effects on daily life
  • Relationship difficulties and attachment patterns
  • Life transitions and identity questions
  • Grief and loss
  • Self-esteem and self-criticism
  • Meaning, purpose, and spiritual questions
  • Stress management and burnout


I also have particular experience helping young adults navigate the challenging transition from adolescence to adulthood, and working with business professionals who find that habits serving them at work may not serve their personal happiness.

Getting Started

Starting therapy can feel uncertain. I meet you where you are—with warmth, respect for your pace, and clear structure. Our first session is an opportunity to talk about what brings you in, what you’re hoping for, and whether we seem like a good fit to work together.

I offer individual therapy through in-person sessions at my Atwater Village office and online video sessions. I invite you to contact me for an initial conversation about how therapy might help.
