Therapists in Los Angeles County, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I’m interested in working with all types of clients who are requiring more clarity and quality in their lives. My work includes assisting you in clarifying and reaching your goals. I am sensitive to cultural, ethnic, racial, gender, sexual & religious diversity & work in a non critical, non judgemental environment.

I have been practicing for over 10 years treating individuals with Anger, Trauma, Addiction, Adolescent Issues, Gender & Sexuality Issues, Autism, Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Parenting, Self-Esteem, and Peer Relationships. My training includes extensive work in a Hospital Based Intensive Outpatient Program, a Non-Profit Family Counseling Center, a Non-Public Behavioral School for students with chronic mental illness, and Private Practice. I am versed in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Existential Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Jungian Therapy, and Multicultural Therapy.

Are you ready to make some positive changes that will improve your life? Maybe you’re suffering from depression, or anxiety is imposing limitations on how you live your life. You don’t have to face these challenges alone.

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, and young adults. These populations are often undergoing transitional periods and abrupt stages of change that can cause anxiety and extreme stress. Some of my particular areas of interest are: grief, loss, relationships, trauma, attachment, depression, anxiety, substance use, grief, OCD, relationship conflict, and adjustment difficulties. I am EMDR certified and enjoy using this treatment approach to heal clients. Additionally, I enjoy treating athletes and people in the performance industry.

In a culture that equates your productivity to your self-worth, it can be a challenge to feel comfortable and guilt-free when you choose to take care of yourself. I reject the cultural beliefs that shame us and try to force us to endure, rather than enjoy. Seeking help is a show of strength, there is no shame in it, and you shouldn’t have to “tough it out” on your own or “just get by”. Whatever it is about your relationships, connections, or experiences with intimacy that brought you here deserves attention. I’m interested in helping you feel more like yourself, more alive, and more at ease in the world.

I am passionate about helping children, teens, parents, and individuals gain strategies on how to cope with existential dread, manage emotions, navigate changing relational roles and identities, and build resiliency during times of uncertainty and grief. My empathetic nature plays a role in my therapeutic style. I collaboratively work with those who experience symptoms related to anxiety, depression, grief and neurodiversity, in order to reach relief and feel happier within and in relationships.

I approach psychotherapy in a way that encourages you to develop the emotional space to examine challenges without identifying as the problem themselves. Our work will be rooted in collaboration, where you define your goals and we then work together towards achieving them. I help you to cultivate an awareness of your own strengths and support you in learning to lean into them so that you can more effectively navigate the issues you're facing. Together we'll identify the blocks that get int the way and help you cultivate new ways to interact with and respond to these challenges helping you to embody your full potential.

Does your anxiety spike when relationships call for physical or emotional intimacy? Do you feel like your picker is off and you repeat toxic relationships? Perhaps you feel lost in knowing yourself are and where you're going. Or perhaps you have been betrayed in worst way imaginable and don't know where to begin to pick the pieces up. As a LMFT, Registered Art Therapist, Certified Clinical Partner Specialist- Candidate, I specialize in: women's sexual health, relational issues, partners of sex addicts, sex addiction, love addiction, and family therapy.

If you’ve found your way to my profile, I imagine there is some part of your life that feels less-than-ideal. Change is possible and you’ve just taken the first step. Do you experience anxiety or unwanted thoughts or have OCD? Do you find yourself worrying excessively about your safety or that of your loved ones? Is anxiety or self-doubt keeping you from getting what you want out of life, interfering with your relationships, or keeping you stuck? Are you struggling with your self-esteem, body image, or perfectionism?

Are you feeling stuck in some way and want to reflect on what brought you here? I work well with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, stress, and grief and loss. During the therapy process, I assist clients in discovering their strengths, building support systems, and developing a healthy lifestyle to set the foundation for life success. My goal is to empower you with the tools and confidence to understand your past without judgment, take ownership of your present and steps toward your ideal future.

You're not happy.  You're not really sure when it all began, but slowly you find your life less fulfilling.  You can't find the motivation to get anything done, you're struggling to concentrate at work, and nothing interests you anymore.  It's like you're slipping into some black hole, and every day you sink just a little further. Sometimes, it's the anxiety that bothers you.  You're worried all the time, and it's making it hard just to function. You feel like you just can't take this insanity anymore. And then, this thought crosses your mind, "Maybe it would be better if I just didn't exist anymore." And this thought scares you...

Working with a therapist who you feel safe with and connected to will make all the difference in your healing journey. I am a warm therapist, who will also be directive for the sake of your growth. I am sincerely dedicated to your healing journey. And, I can teach you practical tools to live a balanced and more fulfilling life. I would love to guide you towards better understanding yourself. I am highly trained in CBT, DBT and ACT. My approach is integrative, adapting to fit each person’s unique needs. I’ve worked extensively and closely with people struggling with anxiety, BPD, addiction, depression, and low self-worth.

Hi! I first want to welcome you to my practice and congratulate you on your courage! As a therapist, my goal is to provide a space for you to be authentically who you are, without judgment. I provide support during the hard times, ask tough questions when necessary, and work with you to find practical solutions to your challenges. I aim to forge a deep and trusting relationship so that you feel comfortable discussing your most protected thoughts and feelings. There are no quick fixes, but developing life skills, improving self-respect, and connecting deeply with loved ones can be key in building wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.

I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with stressful life transitions, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, emotional connection, intimacy and sexual issues. I help clients identify and change the unhealthy cycles that may be creating feelings of being stuck. With respect, sensitivity, and expertise I will help you improve your relationships, create more meaningful connections and improve your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker inspiring hope and facilitating change in the lives of people from all cultural backgrounds. For over 15 years, I have provided psychotherapy in the greater Los Angeles area. A Los Angeles native, I graduated from the University of Southern California in 2005 with my Bachelor of Arts in Broadcast Journalism and minor in Sociology/Race Relations and in 2007 with my Masters in Social Work. My main focus is to provide you with a non-judgmental clinical space to process feelings, discover your authentic self, and heal.

I believe the most important relationship we will ever have is the relationship we have with ourselves. We live in our bodies and our minds 24/7 and are so often at odds with what is inside of us. We dislike, belittle, cajole, judge, and hold ourselves up to rigid standards...and all within our own private universe. How we relate to ourselves will determine how we relate to our partners, others, as well as to environmental issues, and, ultimately, will determine how happy we are.

Feel overwhelmed, sad, worried, angry, lonely, or confused? Do you feel disconnected or unsupported from your intimate relationships? Or are you contemplating a major life change yet feel unsure or fearful of the changes to come? Are you a WOMEN, YOUNG ADULT or TEEN struggling with these feelings? You are not alone. Good news is a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship can lead to personal discoveries, personal growth and profound healing. I will listen attentively, provide compassionate support and together we can identify your strengths and build upon them to develop strategies to live a more meaningful life.
