Therapy Near Hermosa Beach
A short drive to Manhattan Beach, or a conversation online. For young professionals in Hermosa Beach, therapy can be a place to talk about what doesn't show up in a weekend photo.

What You Bring
A social life can still feel lonely.
You may have friends, plans, and plenty to do near the beach, yet feel unsettled when the week slows down. Dating can leave you questioning what you want or why you keep choosing similar relationships. Burnout sometimes looks like saying yes to everything because stopping feels uncomfortable. I work with adults who want to understand that tension without having to defend how their life looks from the outside.
In Person or Online
Choose the conversation, not another obligation
My in-person office is nearby in Manhattan Beach, not in Hermosa Beach. The exact location is shared after a consultation. If adding a drive makes the day harder, we can meet through secure video while you are in California, Arizona, or Missouri. Choose somewhere you can speak freely, with headphones if helpful. Many clients start in person and move online as work or life changes.
How I Work
What happens when you stop saying yes?
Internal Family Systems gives us a way to understand competing feelings: wanting connection while also wanting everyone to leave you alone. Psychodynamic ideas help us notice how old family roles follow you into dating. Narrative therapy makes room to question the story that you should be having more fun. With couples, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to explore the fear and need beneath criticism or silence.
Individual and Couples Therapy
Dating, identity, and the relationship you have

Individual Therapy
In 45-minute individual sessions, you can bring loneliness, work exhaustion, a breakup, or uncertainty about commitment. You don't need a neatly defined problem to begin.
