About My Clients
Most of the people I see are doing fine on paper. Work is steady, the family is intact, and something underneath has not moved in years. It shows up sideways: a shorter fuse at home, sleep that does not rest you, a low-level annoyance that you stopped mentioning. Some people come in after one specific event. Others cannot point to a single thing, which does not make it smaller.
My Background and Approach
I have been licensed in California since 2010. I work with clients in both talk therapy and via EMDR. From there we go into Brainspotting and my own Adaptive Childhood Reprocessing, for the work that needs to reach further back than one memory. With couples I draw on PACT, Gottman and Imago rather than running one model start to finish, and I use LVVR, a method I developed, so two people can talk about a hard moment while it is still happening. Sessions start where the pressure is. Once that settles we go after the pattern underneath it, which is usually why the same week keeps repeating. EMDR is in person in West Los Angeles. Talk therapy is in person or by video anywhere in California. No insurance; I provide a monthly superbill. I am direct, I bring humor.
