Connection - Compassion - Change

Couples & Individual Therapy
in the South Bay

Helping you build healthy, secure relationships - with yourself and others.

 

I'm happy you're here.

If you’re exploring therapy, it might be because something in your life or relationship feels heavy, confusing, or out of balance — maybe you’re feeling stuck, having trouble communicating, or just wanting things to feel lighter. Whatever brought you here, taking this first step is something to be proud of.

I take a holistic, person-centered approach because I know healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. In our work together, you’ll have a space where you feel truly seen and heard. I show up with empathy and without judgment, but I’m also honest and direct when helpful because sometimes growth comes from being gently challenged or seeing things from a new perspective.

My goal is to help you move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling. I believe you already have the capacity for change, and I’m here to help you access it, strengthen it, and let go of the parts of yourself that no longer serve you.

A Little About Me.

Hi, I’m Emily — originally from Philadelphia, but a proud South Bay local for years. When I’m not in session, I love hot yoga, walking on the strand, or playing beach volleyball with family and friends.

I’m deeply interested in how people connect — with themselves and with others. Relationships can be challenging, rewarding, messy, and beautiful all at once. That curiosity and empathy is at the heart of why I love working with couples and individuals navigating purpose, connection, and communication.

I completed my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University and practice as an AMFT (#157043) and APCC (#20181). Both my personal and professional experiences over the years inform the way I support clients as they work toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I’d love to connect if you’re curious about whether we’d be a good fit.​ I'm looking forward to meeting you!

I work with adults navigating life’s challenges, including personal trauma, anxiety, depression, or self-esteem challenges. My clients often seek a safe, supportive space to process emotions, build coping skills, and gain clarity. I partner with them to foster self-understanding, resilience, and create meaningful change.

COUPLES THERAPY

I work with adult couples seeking to strengthen their connection, improve communication, and navigate challenges together, including conflict, life transitions, and relational patterns rooted in past experiences I take a supportive, nonjudgemental stance where both partners can be heard, understood more deeply, and build skills to foster trust and closeness.
