"You're not alone. Life can be deeply challenging. Our beautiful minds, capable of experiencing the greatest joys, can just as easily cast us into darkness and despair. My unique and collaborative approach to therapy quiets unwanted voices of depression, anxiety, loneliness, anger, fear, resentment, compulsion, helplessness and self-doubt for those I work with. Paying close attention to influences of gender, age, race, sexual identity and culture, and listening carefully and openly to the unique circumstances of each person I enter into relationship with, I guide individuals, couples and families towards deeper feelings of clarity and contentment."

"Do you use FOOD. SEX. ALCOHOL/DRUGS. MONEY to try and make yourself feel better, yet find it isn't working? Do you find yourself saying "This is the last time I will.....'drink this much, overeat, buy things I can't afford or don't need'? Are you feeling shame, guilt or anxiety around certain behaviors? Are you suffering negative consequences for your behavior, yet can't seem to stop? Maybe you are not sure, but know that your life is feeling unmanageable. You may find yourself hiding or keeping your behaviors secret."

"We are so much more than the problems that trouble us. Too often we feel it's our fault for having problems at all, making them even stickier and harder to overcome. My goal is to help you tap the knowledge and skills you already have about overcoming and healing. Your own wisdom may come as a surprise - and yet may have been there all along. I celebrate the lives and loves of clients along inclusive spectrums of gender and sexuality, and am committed to LGBTQIA+ affirmative practices. I work with both individuals and couples."

"As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have practiced analytically-oriented psychotherapy in Los Angeles for over 20 years.

I specialize in specific anxiety disorders such as selective mutism and other social anxiety or phobia related disorders. Utilizing mindful parenting practices, I work with parents facing various challenges. I help parents improve communication, reduce power struggles and behavioral issues with their kids and navigate life transitions, so they may achieve joy and confidence in the parenting process."

"I've been a psychotherapist for over 20 years and have found that most relief from psychic pain comes from being kinder and gentler to ourselves. I'm practical, build on strengths, and help people stay focused in the moment to bring about change. Being able to appreciate one's self in the moment is a blessing and a grace often necessary to help us move forward. I work with individuals and couples, teens to seniors."

"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."

"As a licensed psychologist for the past 33 years, I have worked with adult women and men - young, middle-aged and older - who have struggled with a range of anxiety, mood and relational issues. My particular focus now is working with couples - married, separated or pre-marital - to strengthen relationship skills and sustain healthy marriages. I work well with clients who either have had minimal therapy exposure, or difficulties feeling understood due to challenges intersecting with cultural, contextual and communication dilemmas. I have a limited practice, so I often work to assist others in finding culturally competent treatment."

"I have extensive experience working with individuals of all ages as well as couples and teens. Many of my clients opt to do our sessions online. My overall goal is to help clients gain insight into themselves, to develop tools whereby they can overcome problems which may be getting in their way, holding them back from finding fulfillment in their relationships, life and work.

"I specialize in working with trauma survivors. For the past ten years, I have been providing therapy to survivors of abusive relationships/domestic violence, sexual abuse, and adult women and men who were molested as children. I am certified in EMDR, an integrative psychotherapy treatment for processing of traumatic memories and adverse experiences and bringing them to an adaptive resolution. I am curious about who my clients are and what each of them needs; I see them as experts of their experiences and I feel honored to be a part of a mutual exploration of their self."

"I look forward to working with people interested in examining their past, present and future in hopes of finding greater meaning in, and understating of, all three of those aspects of their lives. Therapy can be scary, and is not without its risks, but I will provide a safe and non-judgmental container for the process. My passion is helping people interested in the examined life, and I bring much experience, both clinical and life experience, to this shared journey ahead."

"Do you find yourself feeling fine one moment and suddenly you're overwhelmed by distressing thoughts or confusing emotions? Do you feel like your body has been hijacked by sensations that you can't identify or pinpoint? Do you find yourself disconnected from your life and those things you once enjoyed doing? Have you ever experienced or seen something in the past that now invades your life on a daily basis? Have you ever just wanted to hide away from everything? I know that feeling and I'm telling you right now, you're not alone."

"As a therapist, I want to help clients love well and work well. Often, people experience difficulties in one or both of these areas due to adverse life experiences or trauma that has impacted the way they experience their thoughts, their bodies, and their emotions in relationship with others and the world. As a therapist specializing in addictive behaviors, trauma, and interpersonal difficulties, I utilize an attachment-based approach to treatment that incorporates Buddhist psychology, psychodynamic work, and EMDR."

"Do you replay possibilities in your head over and over again like a slideshow? Are easy decisions hard to make? Although individual therapy may be challenging, when done in a familiar and safe therapeutic relationship, it can result in closer, more fulfilling relationships, a greater sense of emotional well-being and increased self-esteem. I see many individuals dealing with conditions including ; depression, panic, anxiety, anger, trauma, OCD, and various addictions including drug and sex. Roughly half of my clients are working toward maintanining abstinence or further pursuing their recovery from substance use."

"I work with diverse clients who seek to improve their health and well-being through collaborative, goal-directed therapy. Together, we will assess your strengths and challenges to relationships and develop tailored interventions that are responsive to your social and emotional needs."
