Hello, I'm Johnson

I'm a licensed psychotherapist based in Echo Park, Los Angeles. I provide in-person therapy for individuals, couples, and families in the Echo Park, Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Atwater Village, Highland Park, Eagle Rock, Pasadena, and DTLA areas, as well as telehealth therapy throughout California and New York.


I became a therapist because of my fascination with human psychology, our potential for growth through relationships, and our drives for freedom, authenticity, and belonging. 


Before becoming a therapist, I noticed a pattern in my own life: I was good at accomplishing things but terrible at being present and being with myself. Before therapy, I was a corporate attorney, and afterwards started a food business in New York. As different as those paths were, both taught me the same lesson: external success and internal peace are two different things. The patterns that help you early in life can leave you feeling stuck later on. 


I work with people who sense that something internal is getting in their own way. People who want to develop greater self-awareness and emotional maturity, who are ready to understand the patterns running their lives and shift them for the better.


My approach is direct and collaborative. Together, we focus on what's getting in your way, whether that's a relationship pattern, an old coping strategy, a family dynamic you inherited, or an inner voice that won't let you rest.
