Now Accepting TEENS. Do you feel sad, lonely, or depressed? Do you feel like no one understands or gets it? Are you tired of people telling you it will be okay and telling you it’s time to move on with life? Don’t they get it? No, you can’t just move on because you’re still in pain and hurting. Why can’t they see that? Perhaps, you lose your temper easily, scream or yell at people, or say hurtful things to loved ones. Do you get mad over little things, go from 0 to 100, or find yourself unable to control your anger? Do you wish you could just control your anger? It sounds like you could you some assistance. Therapy can help you.

Unlike psychiatry where medication is prescribed to prevent your feelings from being experienced, my practice is designed to make sense and make use of the sensations we are receiving from ourselves. Professionally bringing our attention to psychological symptoms puts us in direct contact with the core of our conflict(s) and sets forth a personal resolution.

My interest in the practice of psychotherapy is founded in the idea that all people want to be the best version of themselves and are capable of achieving that-- whatever that may mean to them. I want to help individuals cope with the challenges that can interfere with achieving their goals and what they want for their lives. All humans struggle and fall short of their own ideals at times, including myself, and I believe learning to successfully cope through these moments of difficulty can lead to a more fulfilling life and an ability to thrive more completely during moments of success.

I have worked as a social worker for over a decade and, after years of supporting clients at various hospitals and nonprofits, am redirecting my talent and experience to where my passion truly resides: my own community. I directly relate to the first-hand struggles of Black women, and especially Black mothers, face every day. As a mother to 2 vibrant, empowered girls, I also understand how necessary it is to build ourselves up higher than the world could ever tear us down. Struggling with infertility for several years, I not only understand the needs of women on their journey to motherhood, I experienced it firsthand.

Welcome! I've been in practice since 1990. I specialize in helping people who've been victims of trauma (sexual, emotional or physical abuse, assault, harassment; or living with a psychotic or substance-abusing person, as well as traumatic injuries, illnesses or accidents), whether in child or adult-hood. I also work with people having difficulties with major life transitions, such as moving away to college or a new city; divorce or bereavement; emotional challenges in changing careers or finishing training programs; or eating/body image. Helping people break destructive or unhappy relationship patterns is another area of my work.

We each have individual journeys and experiences which have shaped us to be where we are and who we are today. Every moment of our lives has influenced how we deal with this thing called life, and how we relate to others. I work with individuals, couples, and families in either long-term insight-oriented therapy, or short-term solution-focused therapy.

Many of us walk around every day wearing some version of a mask. Some of us do so to protect or take care of others, some of us wear the mask to fit in, and some of us wear it because of shame. My hope is that everyone I work with becomes a little bit more comfortable with the person underneath the mask-- their true authentic self. My practice tends to focus on working with individuals from marginalized communities, including LGBTQ-identified and BIPOC. I truly believe the therapeutic relationship can be a healing one, and be the first step in taking off your mask.

You feel like you’ve tried everything to make your relationship work, and nothing seems to change. Try as you might, communication fails, tension builds, and once again you’re cycling back to the painfully familiar arguments that you had been avoiding in the first place. If only your partner stopped pushing your buttons, then you would have no need to retaliate or withdraw, and you would finally feel at peace. Alas, you’re instead finding yourself feeling stuck, lost, and alone. You are so tired of this. This isn’t how you imagined your relationship. Something must change.

Collaborative conversations will allow us to listen for your hopes and values and explore how these reveal new possibilities for making the life you want.

The problem is never really the problem. Conflict is a normal part of life. Problems arise when we cope with conflict by shutting down or becoming enraged on one extreme, or feeling that we "should" be a party to our own abuse on the other. Whether you are looking for individual or couples therapy, you are probably looking to get to the heart of the problem quickly to avoid spending any more time in the current uncomfortable situation. I believe therapy should be affordable and based on the most effective modalities available.

Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Healing from past trauma? Going through grief? Seeking better work life balance? Searching for direction and meaning in life? There are many reasons to seek psychotherapy. Seeking therapy is a brave step: choosing to face your challenges head on, opening up about past conflicts and traumas, bringing up difficult memories and feelings, making life changes in the face of uncertainty, and so forth. In therapy, we work together to develop insight, self-compassion, resiliency, emotional relief, and self-agency, among other strengths, in service of a more fulfilling and congruent life.

How can I find a therapist in Los Angeles?

Search for nearby therapists or counselors by inputting your city, town, or suburb; or zip code; or a provider’s name into the search bar. From there, you can filter providers by the issues they treat, cost, insurance, gender, and other factors to find providers who are well-suited to your needs. To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or zip code into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
