Welcome. I'm Camilla.

I work with individuals and groups. I have special expertise working with young adults and college students for whom therapy has not been fruitful in the past. I draw on several modalities, with an emphasis on Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). The integration of expressive treatments, when appropriate, is central to my work. In 2008, I co-piloted a poetry program for young men in a detention center outside of Los Angeles, which reflected the power of writing as a tool for healing.

Before becoming a full-time private practice therapist, I worked with individuals and families in hospitals, residential facilities, and most recently, at an intensive outpatient program focused on treating substance use disorders.

Services

Groups

I co-lead process-oriented psychotherapy groups on a weekly basis for 75 minutes. Group therapy can be a powerful way to understand why we may feel "stuck" in certain relationships and it can offer different techniques to cultivate emotional intimacy in our lives.

When the ‘mean girl’ is a woman: How to deal with an adult bully

Thanks to the Queen Bee, I was pushed out of a friend group, disinvited from activities, tarnished by falsehoods and deserted by allies. No, this didn’t happen to me in the high school cafeteria. It was more recently, at a volunteer job I had held for six years. And my bully, let’s call her Carol, is a senior citizen…
