This work is for people navigating a relationship with someone who shows psychopathic or narcissistic traits: partners, adult children, parents, or anyone caught in that dynamic. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning, accomplished, and intelligent. These relationships don't happen because someone was naive. They happen because someone was targeted by a person who is genuinely skilled at finding and exploiting others.

Most therapists who work with relationship trauma haven't spent years studying psychopathy directly. I have, through forensic work, treating both survivors and the people who caused the harm. That gives me a clearer read on what you're actually dealing with, and a more direct way of helping you make sense of it.

Yes. Recovery usually means untangling confusion, understanding what actually happened (not what you were told happened), and rebuilding trust in your own judgment. That's real work, but it's absolutely possible, and it's the work I specialize in.

This 15-minute call is how we figure out if I'm the right fit, for what you're dealing with, my scope of practice, and scheduling and fees. I'll offer recommendations where I can, even on the first call.

I don't bill insurance directly. If you'd like to try for out-of-network reimbursement, I can provide a receipt ("superbill") to submit to your insurer, check with them about that benefit first. 

Both. Telehealth is available to anyone in California. In-person sessions are available by appointment in Huntington Beach and Bellflower.

Individual 60 min sessions are $295.

Yes, with standard legal exceptions (risk of harm, abuse reporting requirements, or a court order). I'll cover this in detail at intake.
