You’ve arrived. Now, let’s begin.
You’re here because something inside is asking for change. Maybe it’s the weight of old wounds. Maybe it’s the feeling that no matter how hard you try, the past still lingers in the present. You don’t want to just “cope”—you want to heal.
This space was built for you.
Why Women Seek Trauma Therapy
To find safety and stability after experiences that left them feeling unsafe or unseen
To reclaim their voice in relationships, work, and daily life
To ease anxiety and intrusive thoughts connected to past trauma
To rebuild trust—in themselves, in their bodies, in others
Rooted in the heart of Silver Lake, Los Angeles, this practice provides a confidential, supportive environment where women can begin to heal on their own terms.
My Approach to
Trauma-Informed Therapy
I use an integrative model that draws from:
Relational Psychodynamic Therapy – Together, we’ll uncover the deeper patterns shaped by early relationships and experiences that still influence your present.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) – I’ll help you identify unhelpful thought patterns and give you concrete skills to manage triggers, reduce anxiety, and move toward balance.
This means we go beyond symptom management—we work to heal the root causes while building practical tools for everyday life.
Research shows psychodynamic therapy helps clients achieve lasting emotional change (Shedler, 2010). CBT, meanwhile, has consistently proven effective for trauma-related symptoms and anxiety (Hofmann et al., 2012). And integrated models combining both insight and skills create strong outcomes for couples and individuals alike (Lebow et al., 2012).
The Benefits of Working with a Male Trauma Therapist in Los Angeles
For many women, choosing a male therapist in Los Angeles can feel like an unexpected but deeply healing step in trauma recovery.
A corrective emotional experience – Working with a safe, attuned male presence can help challenge and heal old patterns shaped by harmful or unsafe relationships with men.
Practicing trust in real time – Therapy becomes a contained environment where you can experience healthy boundaries, respect, and genuine care from a male figure.
Different perspective, same compassion – A male therapist can offer insights from a complementary lens, while still centering your experience and needs.
Bridging relational gaps – For clients navigating challenges in relationships with men (partners, fathers, colleagues), working with a male therapist can offer valuable perspective and modeling of healthier dynamics.
Many women find that being understood, validated, and supported by a male therapist is not just surprising - it becomes a powerful part of their healing journey.

Is This Right for You?
