Online therapy in Los Angeles — and wherever else you actually are.

Los Angeles has a particular relationship to performance.

You learn early to have a public face and a private one — to project ease, success, momentum. After a while the private face gets harder to find. That gap between the story you're telling and the one you're actually living is, in my experience, where most of the suffering lives.

I've been in this city for over twenty years. I know its particular weather: the way ambition and anxiety trade places, the loneliness that lives inside a room full of accomplished people, the creative blocks that come from working in an industry built on being seen. I know the stretch of PCH past Malibu on an early morning and the quiet of the hills east of the 405. Los Angeles is a complicated place to try to become yourself.

Three ways to work together in LA

Online therapy

Most of my Los Angeles clients work with me online. Secure video, wherever you are — Silver Lake, Los Feliz, the West Side, the Valley, mid-Wilshire, South Bay. Same depth of work, minus the 405. If you have forty-five minutes and a private enough room, we can begin.

The Hancock Park office

For clients who want a dedicated room to return to — the same chair, the same hour, the same four walls holding the work — my office is a few steps off Larchmont Boulevard in Hancock Park. Centrally located, quiet, private. I see in-person clients there three days a week.

Walk-and-talk in nature

For clients in Woodland Hills, Calabasas, and the Conejo Valley, I hold sessions outdoors at a quiet park in the Santa Monica Mountains. Moving bodies, open air, oak shade — the conversation tends to find a different gear out among the hills. It's a different kind of session, and for certain people it's exactly right.

Who I work with in LA

Adults who've built something real and quietly wonder if it's theirs. Artists and makers — musicians, designers, filmmakers, writers — whose creative and interior lives are tangled up together in ways that are hard to separate. Couples who are tired of the same argument and actually want to understand it. Teenagers who feel everything a little too loudly and need a room that can hold that without pathologizing it.

My approach is narrative therapy and philosophical Taoism. Nothing here is about fixing you. It's about separating you from the story that's running you, and finding the correct course for the energy you've already got. The people who tend to work best with me are self-aware enough to know something isn't working, and honest enough to want to actually do something about it.

I keep a deliberately small caseload. My rate is $275 per session — private pay, out-of-network, superbills provided for reimbursement. A few sliding-scale spots held open each season.

Everything starts with a free twenty-minute call.
