Therapy
I offer individual therapy, couples and relationship therapy, and co-parenting support — in person in South Pasadena and via telehealth throughout California. My approach is psychoanalytic and relational: unhurried, depth-oriented, and built around what actually happens between us in the room.
Areas of Focus
I work with a wide range of adults, adolescents, and relationships. These are the areas where I have particular depth and training.
Identity, coming out, queer relationships, family dynamics, and the particular experience of moving through a world that wasn't built with you in mind.

Clinicians deserve their own space too. I work with therapists and trainees navigating the particular pressures of this profession — including what shows up in the room with clients.
Parenthood, relationship changes, loss, new identities, and exploring consensual nonmonogamy. Transitions are opportunities for a true confrontation with our selves.

What to Expect
Here's what the process of starting depth-oriented therapy typically looks like.
First Step: Free 15 minute consultation
We meet briefly by phone or Zoom to talk about what you're looking for and whether working together feels like a potential fit. There's no obligation, and it's a chance for you to ask questions too.
Getting Started: Initial Sessions
The first few sessions are a chance for us to get to know each other and for me to understand what's brought you here. I don't expect you to arrive with a clear agenda — often the most important material surfaces on its own.
Ongoing Work: Regular weekly sessions
Most people I work with meet weekly, at least initially. Occasionally we may decide to meet more frequently to benefit the therapeutic work. Depth-oriented therapy benefits from consistency and regularity.
Timeframe: Open-ended, not indefinite
This kind of therapy isn't short-term by design, but it isn't endless either. We'll check in regularly about how the work is going, what's shifting, and what you need.
Individual sessions are 50 minutes, weekly. Couples and relationship sessions may be extended. I see patients in person at my office in South Pasadena, and via Zoom or Google Meet for telehealth.

Fees & Insurance
Individual therapy is $225 per session. Couples and relationships are $250. Fees are ayable by cash, check, or Zelle. I am not in-network with any insurance, but I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement. Sliding scale is available for approximately 30% of my caseload.
Looking for lower fees?
The associate therapists I supervise offer sessions at reduced rates. They work with a wide range of adults, teens, and couples under my direct supervision.
