Depth Psychotherapy in Santa Monica

Psychodynamic and somatic psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and teens navigating anxiety, trauma, relationships, recovery, grief, and life transitions.

I believe meaningful change begins with deeper self-understanding. My approach integrates depth-oriented and evidence-based therapies to create space for greater self-awareness, compassion, and connection to ourselves and the world around us.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”

-Carl Rogers 

True healing happens when all parts of ourselves are invited to the table. My goal is to co-create a space where you can explore the hidden pieces of your story with kindness and courage, finding strength and self-compassion along the way.

A Depth-Oriented Approach to Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is an intentional and deeply human space that cultivates compassion for the parts of ourselves that are asking to be seen and understood. Through relational attunement, safety, and an integration of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, the small changes we make in the therapy room can expand into meaningful, life-affirming changes in your identity, relationships, and lived experience.

Psychodynamic & Depth-Oriented
Understanding unconscious patterns, early experiences, defenses, and the ways the past continues to shape the present.

Attachment & Relational
Exploring patterns of intimacy, connection, communication, and attachment through unconditional positive regard and emotional attunement.

Trauma-Informed & EMDR
Supporting the processing and integration of various forms of trauma that continue to affect you psychologically, somatically, and spiritually.

Somatic & Mindfulness
Using mindful awareness of the body and nervous system as another pathway toward understanding and regulation.

CBT & ERP
Using evidence-based cognitive and exposure-based approaches when working with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and OCD.

My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, drawing from several therapeutic traditions and adapting our work to your individual needs.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,

some momentary awareness comes
