  • Therapy for Partners of Entertainment Industry Professionals

    Are you in a relationship with someone in the entertainment industry and having a tough time with parts of that journey? 

    It can feel like a lonely road.

    Not only do your friends and family not get it, but it often feels like your partner doesn’t get it, either.

    And usually, they’re the one who understands you the best…but with this, you two have very different roles, different perspectives, and maybe different wants or needs. 

    But here’s the thing: You’re not on your own with this.

    All the questions and fears swirling in your head? 

    There’s a way to get them out, to really understand them, and to build back the confidence that you can handle this often very tough thing.

    And, there’s even a way for you to feel better able to once again feel like you and your partner are on the same team.

  • There are so many unique challenges in your partnership, tough things that not everyone will always get.

    Your partner might travel for work, you might experience jealousy if your partner has intimate scenes to film, or you might be struggling with knowing how to support them as they navigate a super tough industry, especially right now. And if you share finances, maybe you’re even feeling the weight of trusting the future will be ok for your family. 

    It can feel scary, uncertain.

    It can feel confusing. Maybe there are questions that keep you up at night, like how much should you speak up for yourself, or how much do you let them do their thing, or maybe even “Can I really keep doing this?”

    And trust? It used to feel so easy, but now it’s feeling way more fragile than you’d like it to feel.

    You’re both on the outside of an industry that can feel frustrating, draining, deflating, all-consuming.

    And yet, you’re not really fully on the outside…because your beloved person is in it…and so you’re in it with them.

    The both/and of being within and without can be extremely tough to understand and sustain…but not at all impossible.

  • And it's never just about the most obvious thing, is it?

    Supporting a partner in the industry is hard in and of itself. 

    And also, your shit is bound up in it, too.

    The stuff that may not have anything to do with the industry directly…but instead, your own experiences, fears, stories that you carry.

    So that’s where therapy can be so supportive to you as you navigate such a unique role.

    Some of the work is about getting underneath what’s on the surface. 

    The “why” of things. 

    The parts of you that are feeling unheard, protective, defensive, scared.

    Digging into those parts, those stories, can help you better understand your reactions and your feelings, so that you can feel more able to communicate with your partner and care for yourself with more radical compassion.

    It can help you feel more capable of making decisions, changes, and leaning into what feels best and most sustainable for you.

    So if you’re ready to feel less alone and to feel more confident that this is a life that will not consume you but instead fulfill you…let’s get started.

FAQs

  • I offer both! I can do virtual therapy sessions with anyone in California, and I offer both virtual and in-person to people in the Los Angeles area. My in-person office is located in Studio City, and currently I only have Fridays available for in-person sessions.

  • I do not take or interact with any insurances. I do offer a sliding scale fee structure to all clients! The fee for a 50-minute session starts at $300/session and slides down to $125/session. Each client can choose any session fee within that range based on their budget and how frequently they’d like to meet. I don’t ask for income information, and if your financial situation changes in the future, please talk with me if you need the session fee to change as well.

  • Currently, I offer sessions Tuesday-Friday, and at this time I only have daytime session times available.

  • Amazing! While this is one of my areas of focus, I also deeply value working on a variety of different things with clients. Please feel free to let me know if there are other areas you’d like to focus on! And even if you don’t know what those are just yet, that’s ok. What can often happen in therapy is that we start because of the biggest pain point, and then we lean into the complexity of being human and discover other areas that are asking for attention. You are never too much and could never bring in too many things!
