Feel Fully. Respond Wisely. Find Calm Within the Chaos.

Through our emotional regulation therapy sessions, you’ll learn how to:

Do your emotions sometimes feel overwhelming or unpredictable? Maybe you go from zero to sixty in seconds—or shut down completely when things get intense. Whether you experience anxiety, anger, sadness, or shame in ways that feel unmanageable, emotional regulation is a skill you can learn—and therapy can help.

As a therapist, I work with clients to understand their emotional responses, reduce reactivity, and develop practical tools for staying grounded, even in the most triggering situations. Emotions aren’t the problem—it’s how we relate to them that matters.

Your emotions are messengers—not enemies. My therapy sessions help help clients listen to their emotions without being ruled by them.

Let’s help you move from emotional overwhelm to emotional mastery—one breath, one skill, one session at a time.

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.
