Conflict Resolution Therapist in Venice

Face the Tension. Find the Truth. Resolve Without Losing Connection.

In conflict resolution therapy, we work on:

    •    Understanding your conflict style (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn)

    •    Identifying the core needs and emotions beneath surface arguments

    •    Managing reactivity, defensiveness, and emotional triggers

    •    Communicating clearly, calmly, and assertively

    •    Shifting from blame and criticism to curiosity and collaboration

    •    Repairing after ruptures and rebuilding trust

    •    Creating agreements, boundaries, and solutions that work for all

Conflict is a natural part of any relationship. But when it turns into blame, avoidance, escalation, or emotional shutdown, it can leave deep wounds and unresolved tension. Many of us weren’t taught how to handle conflict in healthy, productive ways, so we either explode, withdraw, or give in just to keep the peace.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor, I help individuals and couples develop the skills and emotional insight to navigate conflict with more awareness, respect, and intention. The goal isn’t to avoid conflict—it’s to learn how to move through it in ways that bring clarity and connection.

Conflict doesn’t have to mean disconnection. When handled with care, it can become a path to deeper understanding, intimacy, and growth. Let’s help you turn conflict into conversation—and conversation into connection.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
