Anxiety Therapists in Bel Air, Los Angeles, CA

Welcome! I specialize in the most evidence supported mindfulness-based therapies for the treatment of difficulties with emotion regulation. We all have those moments in life where we can't seem to get a hold of our emotions, relationships, or responsibilities. At the same time, I truly believe that we are always doing the best we can. Sometimes we simply lack the skills needed to thrive. That’s where I come in! My approach is compassionate, client-centered, and evidence-based. I treat people not disorders. I draw on your innate strengths, while integrating skills to build emotional resilience so you can navigate life with more ease.

“Compassion is an anecdote for trauma”(Alok). I believe when we see ourselves as the problem it creates tremendous stress within our bodies and in our lives. Learning how to skillfully cope with life and treat ourselves with kindness is a powerful component of healing. It is my steadfast intention to collaborate with clients to richly explore their hopes for change as well as to evaluate what may be challenging their access to such growth. I feel passionate about providing affirming support and honest insight for the individuals I work with. I hold hope for each of my clients that change is real and entirely possible.

I have treated factors contributing to Enuresis, and Encopresis and selective mutism.

It’s so painful to see your adolescent in distress. You want to help, but they can be resistant to your ideas, and it feels like they’re withdrawing more every day.

It can feel like you’ve tried everything or don’t know where to start, and your concerns about them feel increasingly overwhelming.

I provide psychotherapy to adults, couples, and young adults in the West Los Angeles area. Many people come to therapy seeking help with depression, anxiety, and in some cases, trauma recovery.
