"I specialize in working with people who want more love and peacefulness in their lives. I have had post masters level training for the past five years doing depth work in psychoanalysis. I have been in practice for over 15 years. We will work together for a better understanding of your unconscious inner world and how it affects your life. Close and intimate relationships with others are possible and a basic human need that are yearned for and people deserve. I can help with opening your heart and opening your mind in many new and powerful ways."

"Are you struggling against old family patterns, unfortunate circumstances, addictions, or low self esteem? I believe in the power of choice, choosing what is best for you and bravely moving towards it. Collaboratively, we will examine the walls and barriers that are holding you back. I will work with you on building self esteem, setting and attaining goals, while also shining a light on the beauty of the person you already are."

"In this practice I specialize in working with relationship problems, identity issues, stress, addiction, and trauma. I have extensive experience working with Latino/a communities in both Los Angeles and Mexico City and I offer bilingual therapy in both English and Spanish. Additionally, I have developed a passion for working with LGBTQ communities, and I offer sex-positive and affirmative therapy for all of my clients regardless of orientation and gender identity. My therapeutic approach is based on principles that emphasize genuineness and authenticity, while valuing the present-moment relationship between us."

"I use evidence-based treatment approaches for adults struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and related disorders. My practice focuses primarily on short-term, exposure-based treatments that provide demonstrable results in a relatively short time frame. My approach fosters a collaborative therapeutic relationship, where we work together to challenge anxious/negative thoughts and modify maladaptive behaviors to achieve your specified treatment goals."

"When I work with clients, we spend time understanding in a deep and connected way how you are experiencing your life. With support and non-judgmental curiosity, we will look below the surface. We may examine family of origin dynamics, core beliefs you hold about yourself and where you may have learned them, values you have and how your choices do or do not support them, and when and how you limit yourself or get in your own way."

"My goal is to help you make real change, whether you're getting through a difficult current situation or wanting to break old patterns that keep you from living a more fulfilling life. Common issues that bring people to therapy include relationship problems, feeling stuck in a rut, work-related stress, and intense sadness or worrying. Being able to talk about these subjects in a warm, welcoming space can help you find peace. In addition, I'm fluent in Spanish should that be more comfortable for you."

"Are you looking for a safe space to share your feelings; to better understand your emotional self? If you are experiencing relationship problems, feel stuck or blocked, anxious or depressed, we can work together to understand these issues. Sometimes we know that things don't feel right, but can't put our finger on it. Through guided exploration, we can discover underlying causes for these feelings, and develop a more authentic connection with ourselves and with others. I work with individuals, couples, families, and adolescents."

"As a licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice, I have treated a variety of disorders and issues ranging from anxiety and depression to relationship problems, career transitions, low self-esteem, adjustment disorders, parenting issues, and grief."

"Are you tired of feeling controlled by your emotions? For anxiety, over-active mind, and trauma-related symptoms I believe in an interactive, collaborative approach that incorporates user-friendly modalities for becoming unstuck without re-activating past trauma. It's possible to shift repetitive habits--including unconscious patterns--that impede self-confidence, motivation, dating/relationships and creativity. I am attentive to you as a unique individual, aware of cultural considerations, age, and diversity. I’m a careful listener, sensitive to your needs and feelings. Trust and safety always come first. We work at your pace."

"In today's world it is easy to feel lost and alone. Life's stress, strained relationships, and the notion of finding oneself can cause physical and emotional distress, and affect every aspect of life. As a Registered MFT Associate, I work with children, teens, adults, families, and individuals with Autism. I employ a collaborative approach in which you are empowered to overcome obstacles, build self-awareness, and create a new vision of your life. In therapy with me, you will begin to take the necessary steps toward realizing the best version of yourself."

"Life can be painful and difficult. Intimate relationships can be particularly challenging if you don't have the communication skills needed to express your feelings and resolve conflicts effectively. This can lead to anger, resentment, fear and loneliness. Over time, intimacy and sexual connection will often suffer due to these feelings. Therapy can help you sort through and understand the challenges you're facing, and identify solutions that work for you. With the proper support, things can get better."

"Whether one is suffering from depression, anxiety, grief and loss, unresolved trauma, or challenges in relationships, I am here to provide a space to explore these issues and foster personal growth. I understand that you are the expert in your life, and I am there to provide the support and feedback you need to address life’s challenges, identify barriers, explore solutions, and help you achieve your goals. "

"There is no "one size fits all" approach when it comes to therapy. Transformation lies first and foremost in the relationship between therapist and client on a human to human level. I aim to strike a balance between a direct and challenging therapeutic space with warmth and compassion. I provide space for clients to explore and "connect the dots" openly and free of judgment hopefully leading to lasting change and awareness. I encourage creativity in the therapeutic space allowing for an "out of the box" therapeutic experience in which clients can uncover and express many parts of themselves."

"Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed or burned out? Does anxiety get in the way of having the life you want? I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety, stress, panic attacks, insomnia, OCD, high-stress careers, the entertainment industry, procrastination, creative blocks, relationships and life transitions. I provide my clients with a safe, supportive space to explore old, ineffective patterns and replace them with new, more effective ones; strengthen coping, decision-making and communication skills; build self-esteem; deepen relationships, and create lasting change. Life is stressful... but it can also be meaningful, rich and full of possibilities. I'm here to help!"

"I strive to offer a steadfast, reflective, responsive and compassionate environment. Together we will seek to understand what your unique challenges are as well as what growth and healing might look like for you. I work with adult individuals and couples who struggle with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem and confidence issues, overachieving and perfectionism, grief and loss, creative and spiritual crisis, identity challenges, communication, intimacy, and divorce."

"Are you tired of "reacting" and not feeling good yourself? Is your past controlling you in the present in ways that aren't serving you? When we are "hijacked" by our past experiences we lose the ability to choose how we respond. This affects how we feel physically and emotionally; impacting how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others. It doesn't have to be that way. I see therapy as an inclusive and collaborative process that healing on a mental, physical and spiritual level."

"Most of my clients come to me feeling that their lives are out of balance. Maybe everything looks great from the outside, but inside they're struggling. Maybe they're investing too much energy into things that deplete instead of energize them. Maybe they feel out of touch with themselves, unsure of what they really want and unsteady in their ability to make decisions. Therapy can give you the opportunity to take a step back and look at your life from a different perspective. Using a compassionate, mindfulness-based approach, I focus on the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and coping with chronic illness. "

"I am a caring and intelligent counselor who helps individuals and couples become more grounded in themselves as they make changes in their lives that create the clarity and ease they are looking for. With over twenty years of experience, I find that a trusting environment enhances emotional safety and rapport. This allows my clients to bring more curiosity about themselves and fewer judgements. My style is interactive and dynamic, focusing on the connection of mind, body, and soul. I teach mental health skills so clients learn to tolerate anxieties and other feelings that often accompany growth in order to obtain the happiness they seek."

"My approach combines psychodynamic therapy, which helps develop self-awareness, with cognitive-behavioral therapy, for more exterior, but equally important, changes. I want to make therapy an accessible experience, so I try to create a comfortable environment conducive to self-exploration. My patients appreciate my conversational style, which I think makes it easier to develop the therapeutic relationship that makes growth possible. Besides individual therapy, couple therapy has become a specialty. I don't just listen, but actively coach you in reinvigorating your relationship. I also work well with professionals interested in enhancing their work relationships, as well as performance."

"From personal experience, traumas as children or as adults can plague us for the rest of our lives. They impact us in many ways. Goals feel out of reach, peers unsupportive, or you feel alienated from yourself. These feelings tend to make us seek out changes, but how far are we willing to go? The best parts of ourselves are often locked deep inside us. Self-doubt, a need for validation, a deprived or inflated sense of identity - these all lead to feelings of inadequacy, social anxiety, chronic depression, mania, fragmentation, sleeplessness, poor diet and exercise, boredom, loneliness, and despair."
