Emotional Intelligence (EQ) Therapist in Venice

Feel It. Name It. Use It. Lead and Live with Emotional Clarity.

In our therapy sessions, we will explore:

    •    Identifying and naming your emotional states in real time

    •    Understanding how emotions impact your decisions and behavior

    •    Recognizing emotional triggers and practicing self-regulation

    •    Building empathy in personal and professional contexts

    •    Managing conflict with confidence, calm, and clarity

    •    Strengthening communication and connection via active listening

    •    Balancing logic and emotion in leadership and relationships

    •    Developing self-awareness as the key to expression and influence

Emotional Intelligence isn’t just a leadership buzzword—it’s the foundation of how we connect, communicate, and navigate both work and life. High EQ means understanding your emotions, managing your reactions, empathizing with others, and making decisions with awareness and integrity. But emotional intelligence isn’t just something you have—it’s something you can build.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor who coaches and works with professionals, leaders, and everyday humans, I help clients increase their emotional awareness and strengthen their ability to respond—not react—in both high-stakes environments and intimate relationships.

Whether you’re leading a team or trying to lead your own life with more grace, emotional intelligence is your superpower.  Let’s help you turn emotional insight into real-world impact—so you can respond to life with intention, not just reaction.

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.
