Meaningful change happens when we feel supported, confident, & ready. My process helps people clearly define what they really want in their lives & then supports them on that journey. Old limiting beliefs, often born out of trauma, can keep us stuck in a cycle of unhappiness. Together we will build a safe relationship so you can explore what no longer serves you. Doing this in a safe relationship allows your brain to create new neuropathways & your body to release trauma. Through mindfulness, body awareness, & compassionate analysis we will deepen the mind-body connection so you can find the inner space you need to make real change.

When life presents you with more questions than answers, it can be hard to know which way to turn or how to reach a cool calm when you need it most. Finding your next move can be especially challenging when you are faced with so many stressors on a daily basis, not to mention the constantly changing state of the outside world. I get it. As a therapist, I am here to help you find and maintain your center of balance even when things are unclear, unstable, or especially difficult.

Do you want to be empowered, find fulfillment, or heal from trauma and let go of the past? A warm welcome! I start by creating a safe space to guide you on a journey of self-discovery. I treasure that our minds, bodies, spirits, and relationships are fastened together and are affected by one another in a close manner. I'll address each of those personal facets to help you emerge holistically with a therapeutic style drawn from various approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting (BSP) and Jungian Sandplay Therapy.

We all have ideals-- how we think we should feel, how we feel we should think, how we want others to behave towards us, how we want our life to unfold. When reality doesn’t match our ideals, it can bring confusion, frustration, even despair. We may feel trapped between our ideals and reality, leading us to believe we are spinning in circles. I see the therapeutic process as one that allows for an exploration of these ideals and an opportunity to understand how they play a role in one’s relationship with self and with others. My hope is that, through this process, you will find a deeper clarity of your values, wants, and needs.

*VIDEO & PHONE SESSIONS AVAILABLE* Have your session in the comfort of your own home (or backyard, or while you’re on a walk, or …well you get the picture). My passion is working with individuals experiencing anxiety, stress, mild to moderate depression, or who simply need a space to work on their self-care. I believe everyone has the tools to feel better, they just sometimes need help learning how to access these tools and use them their benefit. Being a therapist is a privilege, and I would be honored to help you through a difficult time in your life.

You find yourself successful in many aspects of your life- you have a great career, loving friends, a wonderful family. And yet, there is something which still feels “off” or “gray” about the world. You find yourself stuck in monotonous routine or lifestyle with little or no sense of fulfillment or purpose. It’s left you feeling depressed and constantly overthinking. You know these thoughts and feelings are “irrational” but they don’t seem to go away and you don’t know what to do about it. You’re stuck.

Hi, I am a Narrative Therapy trained psychotherapist. What that means is that I believe that each of us wants to find fulfillment, internal peace, and connection, but sometimes problems get in the way. In the face of life's challenges, it can be all too easy to define ourselves by what pains us and to gauge our self-worth by our problems. However, I work from the premise that you are not the problem, the problem is the problem. By changing our relationship to our problems we can gain control of and achieve peace with our emotional selves.

There are countless stories and ideas we're told about who we can and should be! More successful, more actualized, richer, taller, thinner- with all that noise around us, it is often hard to hear our own voice telling us what we value, what makes us feel alive, what is worth our energy and attention. When we feel stuck or weighed down by trauma, depression, anxiety, or systemic injustice, it’s especially hard to access our preferences, inner resources, and community. Our voice gets lost or neglected. This is my commitment to you in our work – to make space for your voice.

After 14 years of higher education in psychology, I use a variety of evidence-based methods to address a broad spectrum of challenges for adults and teens from diverse backgrounds. Some people require a more structured approach with homework and skill-based work to enact change. Others require a more fluid and exploratory approach to develop insights used to improve outcomes. We usually need a combination of both. Regardless of the course of treatment, I am active and engaged in your process and always adapt my approach to you. I am outcome focused and work diligently along side you to grow and meet your goals in a timely way.

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.
