About Sasha
Hi, I’m Sasha.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who is fascinated by the ways we get stuck in life—and the freedom that can come from learning to respond differently.
I work with people navigating OCD, anxiety, addiction, and questions of identity, relationships, and purpose. I believe therapy should be a place where you can slow down, be honest with yourself, and begin building a life that isn’t organized around fear.
In the room
What it’s like to work with me.
I don’t believe therapy should feel like a conversation where one person has all the answers and the other is waiting to receive them.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. Sometimes our work involves understanding where certain patterns come from. Other times, it means actively challenging those patterns and experimenting with new ways of responding.
I bring curiosity, compassion, and honesty into the room. I also believe there is room for humor, philosophy, and the occasional uncomfortable truth. My goal isn’t to tell you how you should live, but to help you develop a clearer understanding of yourself and the freedom to make choices that reflect who you want to be.
Specialties
Who I work with.
OCD & Anxiety
Helping people navigate intrusive thoughts, panic, compulsions, and the exhausting pursuit of certainty.
Men’s Issues & Identity
Exploring masculinity, relationships, self-worth, purpose, and the pressure to become who we think we’re supposed to be.
Addiction & Recovery

My background
How I found my way into therapy.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent over a decade working professionally as an actor in film and television.
That experience gave me a firsthand understanding of ambition, rejection, uncertainty, and the strange relationship we can develop with success. It also made me curious about identity—who we believe we are, who we think we’re supposed to become, and what happens when life doesn’t follow the script we’ve written for ourselves.
For the past three years, I’ve also worked in detox, residential, and outpatient addiction treatment settings. Working with people through some of the most difficult periods of their lives has deepened my understanding of suffering, resilience, and the human desire to escape emotional pain.
These experiences continue to shape the way I approach therapy today.
My approach
How I think about change.
One of the great paradoxes of being human is that the more desperately we try to escape uncomfortable thoughts and feelings, the more power they can have over our lives.
I don’t believe growth comes from eliminating every fear, painful memory, or uncomfortable emotion. Instead, I believe we can learn to encounter these experiences differently.
My approach draws from Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychodynamic therapy, Gestalt therapy, and mindfulness. Each offers a different way of understanding ourselves, but they share something important: the possibility of living a fuller life without needing everything inside us to feel resolved first.
