In Person Therapists in Hollywood, CA
I offer in person or online appts to residents of Missouri and online appointments for residents of California.
I am a particularly good fit for clients who tend to intellectualize their problems and who are unaccustomed to tapping into their emotions. I am a more interactive therapist. I see therapy as a conversation. If you are someone who has been frustrated by therapists who are detached, I may be a good fit for you. I am patient and I will not push you into going deeper than you feel comfortable with at the moment. I know that change and trust are slow processes and I will respect your ability to set the pace of your own therapy.

Relationships are everything––our relationship to ourselves, our relationship to others and to the world around us. We have an immense capacity to heal in relationship and in the right conditions we can grow and thrive. The famed psychologist Carl Jung wrote that we, “walk in shoes too small," meaning we limit our own potential, whether we are conscious of it or not. In that sense, the work of therapy is to broaden ourselves and fully embody the potential that awaits each of us. We aim to skillfully and artfully help you through whatever it is that brings you here to both surrender and grow into a more full and satisfying life.

I am profoundly aware of the tremendous courage it takes to seek help. Particularly, when you are coming from a life you have often been forced to endure heavily weighed upon by anxiety, trauma, depression, and addiction. This deeply rooted awareness of this pain is why I first entered the field of psychology and has successfully guided my work in assisting my clients to overcome their many barriers and difficulties. My approach offers the skills and self-awareness needed to establish the capacity towards supporting you to reach the kind of life you imagined possible.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving.

I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

Due to recent events in my own life, I have a deeper understanding of the impact and changes that occur related to physical disability. Dealing with a disability can be trying and overwhelming leading to depression, frustration, and isolation. I would like to provide therapy to individuals with disabilities regardless of the type of disability, severity, or whether the onset was recent or in the past. I offer office appointments for local individuals as well as Teletherapy over a secure network, so distance is not an issue.

Does it sometimes feel like you are struggling to just exist? As a Queer, Latina, AuDHD (Autistic/ADHD) therapist, I get it! Many spaces in this world are not designed for us, and sometimes even work against us. Your feelings of overwhelm and othered-ness are justified, but that shouldn't stop you from building the authentic life you deserve. Have you been labeled as weird, quirky, too sensitive/emotional, lazy, or overall just too much? Are you someone who does not fit the normative societal standards because of your sexual/romantic orientations, gender presentation, or for practicing consensual/ethical non-monogamy?

I work with adolescent and adult clients in individual, couples & family therapy. My personal philosophy is that through human connection, we can foster the encouragement needed to take courageous steps toward seeing an old pattern through a new perspective to create positive change. I use a strengths-based approach & believe in the inherent wisdom of each individual. Therapy thus serves as a road map, illuminating the path so the client can make conscious choices. My attitude is one of respect and acceptance of each client's self-image and world-view allowing for the creation of a safe, therapeutic container.

You want to experience your authentic nature, to show up fully in relationship with yourself and others, and to be loved and accepted for who you really are. Does this sound familiar? We all have a longing for wholeness, to integrate all parts of ourselves, and to experience peace and belonging. Yet we often live under the shadow of conditioning that we learned in our families and in society that tells us we have to be a certain way to be accepted. It is the privilege of a lifetime to be who you truly are and to first love and accept yourself. It takes courage and commitment to face your inner conflicts and be willing to change.

Early relationships shape the way the mind and brain develop from our young years into our adult lives. Our connections with caregivers induce neural circuit firings that persist throughout our lives, shaping how we think, feel, remember, and behave. When we are lucky enough to have secure attachment experiences in which we feel seen, safe, soothed, and secure—the “four S’s of attachment” that serve as the foundation for a healthy mind—these relational experiences stimulate the neuronal activation and growth of the integrative fibers of the brain.
