Therapists in Culver City, CA

By the time clients reach my door, they've often felt stuck--either individually or relationally--for quite some time. One of my greatest strengths is the ability to help people to identify the factors that are keeping them from moving forward and the steps that it will take to change the status quo. I work with clients in an active yet compassionate way to help them to achieve their goals. Also, I'm often able to help clients to access greater inspiration and support from whatever type of spirituality they've experienced.

Sometimes things are too big for you to handle alone. Whatever it is that brings you to my door, whatever your lifestyle, your challenges, or your hurts, I'm here to help you change what isn't working. Let's get you to the healthiest, most empowered version of your true self, both individually and in your relationships with others. I welcome individuals and couples, adults and teens, and have an open, collaborative, holistic, proactive style. I can help with anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, self-esteem, spirituality, career planning, and creative/life coaching.

Do you need support finding your life’s purpose? Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you find it difficult to feel pain and face your shadows? While considering the whole person- heart, soul, mind and body, I trust that you enter therapy having the insight you need to navigate your distress. I use the term "depth emergence" to explain my orientation and approach. It stems from depth psychology, which emphasizes gaining access to the unconscious and bringing it into consciousness. While increasing awareness we derive meaning, evolve, and transform.

Let's find the life you were meant to live. If you are struggling with relationship issues, self-esteem, feeling out of control and dealing with anxiety, I am here to help you feel grounded, safe and to give you the support and even the coaching you need to find your potential. Let's challenge existing patterns that are no longer working for you. We can work together to identify and explore new ways to increase your self-awareness, confidence, and personal empowerment. If you have spiritual questions and yearnings, I can help you find your unique path in integrating authentic spirituality into your life.

Not accepting new clients. I'm glad that you've taken the first step toward creating the healthy future that you want for yourself. Situations in life can cause us to feel stressed, and seeking therapy shouldn't be one of those stressors. With some much happening in our personal lives we don't often have the chance to "make space" for ourselves, let me help you. Whether you are struggling with saying "no", comparing yourself to others, feeling emotionally drained, feeling anxious, depressed, or struggling with past traumas, and/or work-place stress, you've come to the right place. I'm ready to take this journey of healing with you.

If you're seeking deeper connections in your relationships, longing for more intimacy and understanding. Or perhaps you're feeling the weight of stress from your demanding career, whether you're in the office, on the field, on set, or immersed in the world of creativity. You're driven to perform at your best, but the pressure is taking its toll on your well-being. You may also find yourself questioning your purpose in life feeling stuck, and yearning for clarity on your life's path. And for those on a spiritual journey, you're eager to delve into your higher self, embrace your shadow, and align with your true calling.

Please note: Currently only doing telehealth. "The brave man (or person) is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." (Nelson Mandela) Journeying through life is not supposed to be a solitary endeavor. I have found that in times of joy and pain, it is better to have it shared with others. I value the courage that it takes to be willing to open up and explore inwardly and relationally. I provide a safe and validating environment for those who want to personally grow, explore relationship dynamics, or seek support with mental health issues.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit for you is a huge first step in healing and moving towards your therapeutic goals. I am not a "blank slate" therapist. Convinced that connections heal, my style is warm, relational, client-centered, strengths-based and strongly influenced by Buddhist Psychology. I meet my clients where they currently are and support them in healing and moving towards their goals. Please be advised that when sharing personal information through calls and emails via Psychology Today they will first be seen and directed by my assistant to myself or colleagues at my group practice of Wounded Healers Inc.

Asking someone for help can feel very uncomfortable and maybe even a bit scary. These feelings are very human. We are not meant to be alone and to do things alone and that is why healthy connections can raise our resilience. In therapy you need to feel safe and connected to your therapist for the healing to begin. Once you feel grounded in the therapeutic relationship, the exploration and learning will start.
