Hi, I’m Karl.

I'm glad you're here—I recognize the courage it can take to seek therapy. If what you read on this site resonates with you and you decide to reach out, I look forward to meeting you.

I believe that therapy works best when it is transparent and collaborative. I tailor my therapeutic approach to your unique needs, goals, and experience, but the core of my work with all my clients is psychodynamic and relational. This means that I will help you explore the deep, even unconscious, motivations and patterns that are causing difficulties in your life, and to build awareness of why these patterns formed in the first place.

It’s important to make sure you feel comfortable with your therapist—that’s why I offer free, informal 15 minute consultation calls. During our chat, we’ll talk about your goals and why you’re seeking therapy, and you can see if we might be a good fit.

FAQs

  • I am an out-of-network provider, and do not accept any insurance directly. However, I am able to provide a superbill (a receipt of psychotherapy services) that you might be able to present to your insurer for partial reimbursement. Please contact your insurance provider directly for details.

  • The length of therapy depends on a lot of factors and varies for everyone, but because I work from a depth perspective, client relationships tend to be long-term. We can revisit therapeutic goals, progress, and timetables periodically during our work together: it is designed to be a collaborative and open process.

  • I currently have a limited number of in-person appointments available at my Silverlake office on Tuesday evenings and Thursday mornings, but I am available for remote sessions throughout the week. When we first connect, we can discuss scheduling that works for you.

  • Sessions are 50 minutes, and occur at the same time each week.

  • I ask that you provide as much notice as possible when you must cancel an appointment. A full session fee will be charged if cancellation or rescheduling occurs less than 24 hours before our scheduled meeting time.
