Finding the right therapist isn’t easy.
It can feel overwhelming to make this decision when you’re already struggling, but beginning the search means you’re on the right path. The key to effective therapy is finding someone you feel comfortable with. My clients often tell me they feel at ease quickly because I focus on real conversation rather than clinical formality, helping us see if we’re a good fit and how to approach your challenges together. Based in Hermosa Beach, I’ve lived and worked in the South Bay for over 15 years, giving me a deep understanding of the unique pressures and rhythms of our community.
I don’t treat our sessions like a clinical appointment — I focus on getting to know you through real conversation.
Services
I work with adults, teens, couples, and entire families. Sometimes people call knowing exactly what they are looking for, other times a few sessions are required to truly figure out the best approach to address your concern. Regardless of how therapy begins, those first few sessions will allow us get to know one another, and together we will decide the best way to help you move forward.
