Therapists in Los Angeles County, CA

Living with frequently intense emotions is tough and tiresome. Everyone’s story matters and every life is worth living so I strive to inspire and empower my clients, helping them gain a healthier relationship with themselves, their goals, and others. I enjoy working with adults as well as teens, and my experience revolves around helping those who struggle with overwhelmingly strong emotions and ineffective behaviors that get in the way of their goals or relationships. I teach my clients how to pause in life so that they can respond with decision and self respect rather than reacting from emotion. If you feel stuck, let me help.

Are you tired of anxiety and old habits preventing you from achieving your goals? Have you been dealing with life's problems by trying harder, venting to friends and family, and avoiding stressful situations, and things never seem to get better? Are you ready for change? I’ll work collaboratively with you to tailor time-tested and evidence-based approaches to meet your specific needs. I am a cognitive behavior therapist and I specialize in the treatment of people with OCD, Panic, Insomnia, and Sport/Performance related issues. We'll work together to overcome whatever is holding you back and open up your life in meaningful ways.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who offers well rounded experience in working with individuals, families, and couples, from a variety of social and cultural backgrounds. My goal is to help you free yourself from the effects of past experiences and cultural conditioning, break patterns of thinking that lead to conflictual relationships and strengthen your connection to your own unmet needs, help you with areas such as depression, anxiety, divorce, employment issues, life transitions, relationship issues and family conflicts.

You are enough. Past experiences may have created a negative inner voice undercutting your self-worth and capacity for joy. People pleasing and perfectionism may have left you needing to do or be more, unable to enjoy the present. We can work together in a secure and non-judgmental space to rewrite your narrative and silence the self-talk. We will identify your own needs and prioritize them, allowing you to be present with grace and acceptance as you navigate healing past wounds or face life's challenges. Therapy will empower you to recognize your intrinsic strengths, forging a new path toward a life of meaning and fulfillment.

I provide my clients with a safe and professional environment in which to explore areas of concern, difficulty, and strength. It is my belief that there are times in life when we feel stuck, or are experiencing suffering, and need support in order to move through and/or change patterns that are no longer of use. Sometimes it is necessary to access guidance from a professional outside of the current situation in order to assist in gaining perspective. Through this collaboration, it is possible to gain insight and awareness that allows one to move forward with awareness and options.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, traumatized, or like you are still grieving? Perhaps you’ve noticed that you are drinking more than usual? Allow me to help you improve your mental health using your strengths to adapt to stressors instead of engaging in negative behaviors. With my encouragement, you will learn to overcome or manage the issues you are untangling and move forward - where you deserve to be. Additionally, I have specializations in medication-assisted alcohol abatement, divorce mediation, and the psychological aftermath of negative psychedelic experiences.

Whether your challenges are recent or longstanding, or you are wanting to improve your mood, relationships, or the ability to cope with complicated emotions I offer an honest perspective and provide additional support that allows you to gain the momentum you are seeking in order to move forward and start healing. Over the last 20 years, I've worked in clinical settings and my private practice with individuals, couples, and families who have come to me with a variety of concerns like relationship and family conflicts, parent/child challenges, trauma, adjustment to phases of life, depression, anxiety, stress, and grief.

Life often presents difficult obstacles that can stand between who you are and who you want to be. Some obstacles may be unhealthy patterns in your relationships, overwhelming sadness or worry, not feeling good enough, or a loss of direction or purpose in your life.
