Therapy for grief, loss & the questions beneath
You don't need a better diagnosis. You need a different conversation.
A space where your suffering is taken seriously—not as a disorder to fix, but as a question worth exploring together.
Your journey toward equanimity and meaning starts here.
Therapy for teens (16+), adults, couples, and families.
In-person in the West Los Angeles and
South Los Angeles areas.
Virtual telehealth throughout California.
A different kind of path
In an age increasingly dominated by diagnosis, optimization, and self-help solutions, our conversations will take us toward a different path. We stop asking "What's wrong with me?" and begin asking deeper questions about meaning, freedom, ethics, identity, and how we truly ought to live.
Grief, loss & the weight of complexity
I specialize in grief from relational loss, pet loss, isolation, and loneliness. My clients navigate losses due to death, divorce, ruptures in family relationships or friendships, and many also live with prolonged anxiety, depression, and loneliness. I also support multicultural couples and mother-daughter relationships in all their rich complexity.
Presence, meaning & the power of dialogue
My relational style and grounding in therapy help people change their lives in less time, even when past efforts failed. I integrate clinical skill with embodied presence, meaning-making & creative expression tailored to you. I believe deeply in the transformative power of therapeutic dialogue—our struggles are often philosophical, not merely psychological.
There is room here for all of it
People drawn to this work often sense that something deeper is at stake than a diagnosis—that their suffering is raising an essential question, not merely signaling a disorder. If you are ready to sit with life's harder questions and find your way toward meaning, purpose, and real freedom, I warmly and sincerely welcome you here.
If this resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Welcome home.
