Psychodynamic therapy in the heart of Hollywood
Depth-oriented and culturally responsive psychotherapy in Los Angeles and online.
About Dr. Sample
Therapy facilitates a process that can produce new ways of thinking, feeling, and being. I work with individuals whose struggles have led them to become curious about how life can change.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY 36564) providing therapy in Los Angeles. My practice is informed by training and education in contemporary psychoanalysis, cultural anthropology, and nonfiction storytelling. In session, I pay attention to themes that emerge in dialogue about what comes to mind in the present.
Exploring thoughts and feelings within a strong therapeutic alliance can cultivate greater awareness, vitality, and relief. In treatment, I intend to nurture a reliable and collaborative relationship. I approach this work with deep respect for suffering and an understanding that it can change for the better.
