Psychotherapy

Queer-identified kink- and poly-aware psychologist.

Are you having relationship issues with your partner, a family member, or coworker? Sometimes substance use or infidelity or control is in the mix. Maybe your partner just cant activate and get going. Are you feeling anxious and nervous, unable to settle down, relax, and feel safe? Maybe you feel socially awkward and unsure of yourself, and your self-esteem and confidence are shot to the point where you have trouble making your own decisions. Maybe you feel badly about your own body and you find you are harsh with yourself, constantly seeking others approval. Do you struggle with substances, depression, or feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by a chaotic and unmanageable life? Maybe youve had some major changes in your life recently. All of this can result in health problems in your body, difficulties in freely and gracefully expressing emotions, and isolation and loneliness. I am experienced in working with people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, including mixed-orientation couples (vanilla/kink) and open and poly relationships. I have significant experience working with individuals and couples in the kink community. I also have experience working with those employed in sex work. I am a licensed psychologist (PSY25154) with a focus on depth therapy that gets at the root cause of these sorts of struggles rather than just reducing symptoms. I also offer orgonomic (Reichian) therapy as an integrated treatment with talk therapy. This somatic approach does not artificially differentiate between mind and body, psyche and soma, but instead treats you as a whole person. Want to know if Im the right therapist for you or someone you care about? Research indicates that the single most important factor in therapy is the relationship you have with your therapist. I, too, have found this to be true. One of the best ways to know if I can help you is by finding out for yourself what its like to talk with me. That way you can determine for yourself if we are a match and we can talk about any questions, concerns, and doubts you might have. Simply give me a call at (310) 866-0440 and we will get started.
