In my work with children & families, I see behavior as communication. When children become flooded with emotion or when they may not know how to act or express themselves in a certain situation, they often use their behavior to tell us what they need. As a therapist, I come from a place of curiosity to understand what might be happening for your child & within your family during these heightened emotional states. Through a series of approaches such as play therapy, storytelling, & narration, we will explore the thought patterns & disruptive behaviors that might be impacting your child's functioning at home, school & social settings.

Taking a chance on yourself isn’t always easy and therapy can be a challenging space. I am here to walk with you on that journey. When you're on a plane they remind you its important to put your oxygen mask on first, because you cant take care of others before you take care of yourself. My hope is that therapy can be a space where you can truly take care of yourself, build confidence, become the truest version of yourself, and reach your goals on your terms.

Have you ever had the thought that you can’t remember what it’s like to NOT feel anxious? Does your mind continuously operate on overdrive? Are you tired of the same repetitive thought patterns? Is life feeling like one endless chore with no light at the end of the tunnel? Have you ever told yourself you know you need to make a change, but you can't muster the will power to follow through? Do you feel stuck in your relationship patterns but don't know what or how to change? If you answered yes to any of the above, we might be a great match. I believe that great therapy involves using many lenses or frameworks in order to heal.

In working with adolescents and young adults, I often see them struggle with unconscious pattern behaviors that relate to early experience. The unspoken or unprocessed trauma or negative experience can affect people for years. My role in therapy is to support clients in raising awareness of their feelings, thoughts, and needs, which can help them make healthier decisions and achieve self-actualization.

As a therapist I provide a safe environment to explore what is keeping you from having a fulfilling life. A place to feel heard without judgment and to explore what blocks you from achieving your goals. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process. When given support and permission I believe we actually know ourselves better than anyone, we just sometimes get in our own way.

Trying to find a therapist can be a daunting task, especially with the vast number of choices in a big city. I work to cultivate a space for you to feel seen, heard, and facilitate healing through a therapeutic relationship of compassion and culturally affirming care. I'm also committed to working with LGBTQ+ issues. I’m passionate about working with adolescents because they are navigating a complex world that can induce overwhelming feelings and provide support for parents in navigating these issues. I work with adults who experience a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions, to name a few.

Do you find yourself waking up each morning with a sinking sense of dread, disconnected from your partner and even from your own sense of self? As a high achiever, you constantly push yourself to perform at the highest level, but deep down, you struggle with feelings of inadequacy. The constant worry and stress you experience begin to take a toll on your day-to-day life, relationships, and work. The pressure to live up to someone else's standards becomes overwhelming, and you question whether this stress and pressure will ever improve. If you ignore the underlying stress and anxiety, it can lead to burnout and relationship conflict.

Are you struggling with a traumatic experience, unsure how to resolve its effect on your life? Looking to improve a relationship? Maybe, like most parents, you want the best for your child and seek a way to give them a little help. Or perhaps you want to make a change, so you're exploring why you think and behave as you do. People seek therapy for many reasons, but almost everyone does so to relieve some kind of pain. I believe relief and healing can be found through the therapeutic relationship.

Many couples think fighting is bad for their relationship. It's time to think differently. You and your partner may find yourselves fighting fiercely. And frequently. Despite your best efforts to stop, the friction between you may only escalate. You may feel lonely, angry and hopeless, and wonder if the two of you can survive together. No, you didn't pick the wrong person. These fights can change. Yes, they can... and for the better! Life is filled with challenges, some small and some large. All couples struggle with these hurdles. But they don't have to determine your future.

I work with individuals and couples, exploring the present and past to gain the greater awareness that I believe leads to more potential for choice and desired change. My strength lies in empathy, connection, and acceptance. Using relational therapy, we will honor your unique self, social circumstances, perspectives and goals. I use collaborative conversation, relational listening, and mindfulness to elevate awareness and build behavioral confidence. I prioritize creating a safe space where all you think, feel, and dream can be explored...the deep dark, high light, and the plentiful mundane that compose every life.

Often in my practice I work with people who appear put together, but inside feel lonely, lost and disconnected. Many times these feelings are a response to experiencing trauma. We tend to think traumatic events only include extreme experiences like war and assault, but trauma can also occur through more nuanced events that break our trust in others, ourselves and the world. Both kinds of trauma trigger our nervous system in ways that can affect our health and limit our ability to have close, meaningful relationships. BUT neuroscience has shown that over time the human brain can rewire itself to new ways of thinking and responding.

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.
