Elders (65+) Therapists in Culver City, CA

As a certified (IAAP) Jungian analyst I have a passion to work with three specific groups: 1. Men and women, aged 35 - 65, who are experiencing a Mid - Life Crises/Transition, often accompanied by depression and anxiety, and a loss of meaning in life. 2. Young men and women, aged 19 - 34, who are experiencing a "Quarter Life Crises," searching for a more soulful life in work, relationships and beyond. 3. Therapists who want to incorporate Jungian analysis and dream work into their practices, and also those who may want to enter training to become a Jungian analyst. .

I provide a caring & objective atmosphere to encourage your self-awareness and emotional growth.

We all go through times that are stressful and overwhelming. Certain behaviors and aspects of our personalities can cause us trouble as well. Whether it be work problems, relationship issues, illness or just a vague feeling of unhappiness or irritability, seeing a therapist can help. As a clinical social worker I have been trained to assess the complex picture of your life and determine where changes can be made. As partners in the process of therapy we can address emotional, mental, physical and practical areas of your life that can be modified or healed to bring about relief and fulfillment.

My work is informed by the idea that in order to change, we must first cultivate self-acceptance. I believe that we all possess an inner strength and resilience that, with support and increased self-awareness, can empower us to live authentic, fulfilling, and meaningful lives.

Are you entering a new stage of life, or thinking of making a major change in your life? Are you unclear about the choices available to you? Are you feeling anxious and stressed out about the changes? Marriage, relationship challenges, divorce, graduation, career change, children leaving home, being a caregiver to parents, retirement, death of a spouse, as well as your own aging are all changes that increase stress and can be anxiety producing. It's much easier going through changes when you have an objective professional who can be your ally, trusted advisor, and guide through the process.

We all struggle with difficulties from time to time. Unresolved issues can cause us to act and react in ways that lead to unhappiness in our lives and our relationships.

Is your life in balance? Many years of experience have taught me that the combination of psychological insight and behavioral change are necessary to make a difference in the two most important areas of life: relationships and work. Without change we "understand" but repeat the same self-defeating behaviors over and over. Family and friends can give great support but a psychotherapist is trained, neutral and can say things to you which are hard to hear from others and help you explore aspects of your life which are uncomfortable for you.

Even relationships that may end in separation can be resolved without acrimony and to the benefit of both parties since to better understand oneself and one's intimate relationships is the key to satisfying and productive living.
