Differentiation: The Secret to Closeness Without Losing Yourself
Do you lose yourself in love? This blog explains differentiation, the ability to stay close without disappearing, and why it is the foundation of healthy intimacy that actually lasts.
Sex Therapy is a place to explore desire, heal emotional blocks and build the kind of intimacy you’ve always wanted. Whether you’re coming alone or with a partner, it goes deeper than technique. It starts with understanding yourself.
Currently accepting clients for telehealth in California and in-person in the Los Angeles area, including Beverly Hills, Century City, West Hollywood, Mid-City, Culver City and the West-Side.
Whether you’re struggling with mismatched desires, feeling distant from your partner, or grappling with changes to your health, we’ll explore the deeper emotional and physical factors that may be holding you back. Together we’ll break through those barriers to build lasting, authentic intimacy. The path back to yourself starts here.
Sex doesn’t have to be filled with guilt, shame, or performance anxiety. Together, we’ll identify the negative beliefs that have been limiting you, heal emotional wounds, and help you embrace your true sexual self with confidence and freedom. Whether that shame came from religion, family, past partners, or culture, you don’t have to carry it.
Lost that spark or wondering if it was ever there? Therapy can help you reconnect with your desires, communicate openly without fear of judgment, and reignite intimacy without the pressure of “performing.” Your spark didn’t disappear. It just needs to be rediscovered.
When it comes to sex, it’s easy to feel disconnected or even ashamed of your desires. Maybe you’ve been told that your feelings are “wrong,” or you’re struggling with a loss of libido or conflicting desires.
In individual sex therapy, we dive deeper into your emotional, physical, and psychological experience to explore the underlying factors affecting your intimate connections.
Struggling with mismatched sexual desires or feeling disconnected? Maybe you’re not sure how to communicate your needs and feel truly heard.
Whether it’s managing differences in libido, addressing emotional blocks, or breaking through old conflict patterns, I can help you create a compassionate space to have the conversations that make a difference.
Many men carry the weight of societal expectations. The pressure to be the provider, the protector, and to constantly “perform” takes a toll. But what happens when you can’t meet those expectations? You may feel frustration, shame, or isolation.
Men’s mental health and sexuality are more connected than most people realize. I work with men facing performance anxiety, low desire, and the emotional weight that rarely gets talked about.
As a certified sex therapist, I’m passionate about helping individuals and couples to deepen their intimacy, reignite desire, and increase their healthy sex span throughout all ages and stages of life. I am certified by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with high-achieving adults to improve both their mental health and sexual well-being.
With an MSW and MPH from UCLA, I spent 14 years providing therapy and crisis counseling in partnership with law enforcement. Today, in my private practice, I bring that experience with a personalized, compassionate approach to sex therapy. I’m here to help you build trust, communicate openly, and overcome the barriers that stand between you and a more fulfilling, authentic sexual connection.

Frequent arguments don’t mean you’re incompatible. This blog explains why conflict is often a sign of growth, not failure and how the Developmental Model helps couples understand what their fights are actually asking of them.
If you keep having the same fight and wondering whether something is wrong with your relationship, this is for you. The Developmental Model reframes conflict not as failure, but as a natural and necessary part of how love grows.
