Marriage & Family Therapist in Silver Lake

Most of us would agree that, while we have moments that make us happy, there are times where we can feel stressed, less present, and at times, unbalanced. I support people through the different stages of life and help them integrate mindfulness, understanding, and support into their relationship with themselves and the people they love.

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist Offers Therapy for Adults Teens and Children in Silver Lake and West Los Angeles

I've been in my Silver Lake office for 14 years. It's located at 1741 Silver Lake Blvd Ste 2B, just south of the reservoir. I enjoy how quiet and peaceful the area is, and how the reservoir brings the community together. People are out walking, talking to others, and spending time in my neighborhood. I like that it's located in the diverse Los Angeles Eastside community. Silver Lake, Los Feliz, and Echo Park are all so different. The environment, energy, and people change tremendously when you go from one place to the next. My current office is quiet. It gives people a chance to take a pause and to reflect upon themselves and their life. It's hard in Los Angeles to find an area like Silver Lake. It's unique.
