Over the years, I've assisted people in taking back control of their lives by deconstructing problems in order to understand better what continually supports their presence. Problems in life often minimize the knowledge we have about ourselves, I seek to reverse this so you can feel yourself in profoundly healthier ways. Negative stories about ourselves, are seductive but our lives are so much more than that. I believe that we have much more flexibility and resilience towards preferred change than we are led to believe. I work well with healers and creatives in the realms of sexuality, career and life purpose.

I am not a typical therapist. I see myself as a co-author, witness, helpful ally, teammate, collaborator and useful resource. Rather than taking a role as an “expert” by making assumptions or interpretations about your life, I love to use skillful conversation and artful question-asking to help you get past obstacles and problems. You are here on this page because you have strength in you, you have desire in you and you have healing in you. You are the main character in your own life. Therapy can either help or hinder the development of this character as someone powerful, capable and whole.

This is an unprecedented and difficult time. Do you feel overwhelmed by everything going on in the world and in your community? Are you having trouble focusing or finding balance or routine under quarantine? Are Anxiety or Depression affecting you more intensely? Are your relationships with loved ones or roommates under stress? If you're in need of support and looking to make some sense of these trying times, then please reach out. Together we can name all the things you are up against, find ways to navigate through them, and make sustainable meaningful changes and personal growth.

Video Health Sessions only during Covid-19 stay at home orders. Free 20 min initial phone consultation. My work focuses on reconnecting you with what's real and important in your life.

I have a passion for seeing my clients have a transformational experience, evolving toward becoming more self realized persons. Let's talk about your difficulties, fears, or sadness. Let's understand your anxiety or anger. And let's do it in a warm and safe space where we will set judgment aside. We'll explore how you became who you are today, and perhaps along the way you'll discover a kinder view of yourself, capable of moving away from bitterness or anger, unleashing your creativity, and ultimately knowing yourself through your profound relationships with others.

If you are seeking help through counseling or therapy, I offer individual and couples therapy to older adolescents and adults. My approach to therapy is to help clients feel safe and supported. While providing a welcoming and confidential space, I collaborate with the client to explore current life stressors and events to work toward achieving greater understanding and working through areas of feeling stuck.

If you're thinking about starting therapy, you've already taken the first step toward making a change. I work with individuals and couples to help people move toward living more rewarding lives. Many of my clients are struggling with depression and/or anxiety. We work to reduce symptoms through simple interventions like mindfulness and breathing practice. At the same time, we journey together to understand the deeper meanings of your symptoms--whether they are biochemical, experiential (rooted in your past) or situational-the goal is to heal old wounds and change the current patterns that aren't serving you.

Does anxiety, depression, stress, grief and/or addiction get in your way of living a full life? Is it affecting your health, family, work, school or relationships? When you are faced with such challenges, you may feel stuck, isolated, overwhelmed, hopeless or lost. You are not alone. We all feel like that sometimes. You can have your life back but it can be hard to do it alone. I'm here for you to provide a safe space and support you need. I will be the guiding light to help you move towards the positive changes. Together, we can find ways to reclaim your life.

My goal in treatment is to provide tools and help guide people into healing from any wounds that may hinder them from fully walking in the freedom. I am committed to helping people obtain a healthy thought life and lifestyle by being renewed in the mind, becoming transformed and being set free on all levels so they may further pursue life goals and maintain healthy relationships without the hindrance of emotional burdens from the past. I am a born again Christian and I love integrating faith and spirituality in the emotional healing process.

We live in stressful times and seem to face more challenges every day. I have 15 years of clinical experience and I understand many of the societal, familial, and interpersonal factors that cause us to feel unbalanced. I provide my clients with a supportive environment to address concerns, gain insights, and achieve real change in their lives. I enjoy working with young adults who have depression, anxiety or behavioral issues. I strive to help people find their confidence and strength during times of adversity.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a primary specialty in adolescent and young adult mental health, as well as extensive experience treating adults and families. As a psychologist at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, I primarily treat individuals and families with various mental health issues specific to teens, young adults transitioning to adulthood, as well as chronic medical conditions. In my private practice, I provide treatment to individuals (10+) and families that emphasizes increasing overall well-being, emotional health, and life satisfaction by strengthening coping skills, positive self-image, mood and overall daily functioning.

It takes a tremendous amount of strength and courage to begin the therapy process. My goal is to work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, non-judgmental and connected space that promotes exploration, insight, and new possibilities. Through our work together, we will strive to gain a deeper understanding and skills to help you reach your therapeutic goals. With support, encouragement and guidance we will build a relationship that will facilitate the meaningful changes you are seeking.

We have the power to heal ourselves. We need guidance to learn how to do that! If you are stalled in your hopes, if your life feels drained of its essence, and if your state of being continues to spiral downward, your being becomes filled with anxiety, depression and despair. My goal is to empower clients to recognize their blocks, gain pwer to change them and change the course of their lives.

I am a compassionate, interactive, collaborative therapist who works with adults, adolescents, couples and parents who are facing a major life transition, relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, or self-defeating patterns of behavior. I believe in the healing power of humor and I rely on both intellect and intuition. I strive to develop a frame that is profoundly supportive but also challenging, where you will feel free to express your feelings and speak your mind, with meaningful change and growth as our shared goal. My approach integrates attachment theory, emotion focus therapy, neurobiology, systems and relational models.

Anxiety, depressive feelings, afraid of where the future may lead, or trying to figure out how to get over initial humps are common, but may also feel emotionally and physically draining. Therapy should be thoughtful, supportive, and provide a sense of safety for you to be yourself. This is the environment I look to create so that you can gain a deeper sense of self, and explore old thinking patterns and behaviors that may be preventing you from moving forward. I can offer a fresh perspective to help you re-frame those negative thoughts in a more productive direction.

I am a psychoanalytic therapist who works with repetitive relationship problems, anxiety, panic disorders, long-term depression and men's issues. These often show up as poor self-esteem, feelings of loneliness and disconnection, false-self, obsessions and addictions, and unexplained physical symptoms. Sometimes people feel that something isn't right, but they aren't sure what. When friends, family and self-help aren't enough, I take the time to get to know you and listen for what repeats itself in your thoughts and actions.

Speak your heart, live your truth! Are you feeling overwhelmed with the direction of your life? Is your job not emotionally or financially satisfying? Do you find yourself having difficult, short-lived relationships, or worse - none at all? Is depression and/or anxiety wearing you down? It is my experience that our difficulties and problems are primarily determined by reactions to how we think and feel. I can help you understand how your thoughts and feelings prevent you from getting what you want, and then help you find ways of creating more success in the areas you desire to change.

The belief that you are inadequate is a cultural myth. I believe in looking for what is right with you. I am not the therapist who is going to merely sit back, listen and then tell you what is wrong with you. Together we will find the gold of you, and walk the journey towards your most alive, most authentic self. We will have active conversations. I will participate. We will probably laugh here and there, because I’m a big believer in the healing power of humor. I will not tell you what to do or how to live, but I will help guide you toward your own inner-knowing.

You probably heard the saying, “Falling in love is easy but staying in love is hard.” Relationships take hard work to maintain and they require skills that most of us don’t learn from our parents. When we start working together, I will provide a safe place for both of you, where we will jump start the healing process. You will gain insight into the patterns in your relationship, learn how to communicate more effectively, express inner most feelings to each other, identify each other's unmet needs and how to get your needs met from one another, rekindle love, and heal from past traumatic relationship experiences such as infidelity.
