psychoanalytic psychotherapy
ABOUT TIFFANY
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (#147369) in private practice in Beverly Hills under the supervision of Dr. Smith, PsyD (LMFT #115452) providing adult individual psychotherapy.
I hold a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. I’ve completed extensive 2-year training and received a certificate in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Wright Institute Los Angeles (WILA) working with a diverse adult population.
My practice is continuously informed by a curiosity for and understanding of developmental processes with a keen interest in early life development. I am currently continuing my learning in this area in the child and adolescent psychoanalytic psychotherapy program at the New Center for Psychoanalysis.
I enjoy practicing from a depth-oriented, psychoanalytic framework rooted in the body as I find it gives individuals an opportunity to come in genuine contact with themselves. The foundation of my approach is the belief that who we are — our sense of self and how we move in the world — is immensely shaped by our individual temperaments along with our developmental imprints for relating and experiencing.
By drawing on the relationship we co-create between us, psychotherapy is an opportunity for connection and healing.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults
I work with individuals from all walks of life who may have concerns about not having the experience of being felt with and by others, navigating the balance of intimacy and agency in relation to others, and understanding their internal world more richly.
I’m committed to affirming one’s exploration of the values that are essential and unique to you. I work well with folks who yearn to engage the fullest sense of their humanity. With this in mind, I bring Feminist and existential perspectives to my lens in understanding how one is impacted by the systems we inhabit and how we may expand our sense of agency.
My working style is to cultivate a therapeutic relationship with you that fosters trust and a sense of play so that you may be known and held more fully.
Together, we will work on a once a week basis though I often encourage two or more sessions per week so that we may get to know you and develop our relationship more deeply. Sessions are 50-minutes held either in person at my office in Beverly Hills or via a HIPPA compliant Telehealth platform.
when someone really loves you, you become real. Real isn't how you are made. It's a thing that happens to you. Sometimes it hurts, but when you are Real you don't mind being hurt. It doesn't happen all at once. You become. Once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.
