Women's Issues Therapists in Echo Park, Los Angeles, CA

I focus on helping people separate their preferences from their problems, identify values that are most important to them, and determine the actions that will best express those values. I work collaboratively with people to detail their future hopes and honor the histories that inform their current experiences and relationships. "Therapeutic conversations help us navigate the limitations and dilemmas we all face. We each have ongoing stories about our lives, which are written by multiple authors: ourselves, our families, community, culture, and society. Some of these stories empower and embolden while others constrain and limit."

Learn how to feel more connected to yourself, others and the world around you. Therapy provides all the elements of intimacy: honest communication, vulnerability and trust. Good therapy is challenging yet warm, providing both structure and empathy for your unique experience. We are a collective of east side therapists at Silver Lake Psychology with a wide range of specialties. Our intake professionals will help connect you with the right therapist for your needs. We make appointments easy, offering evenings and weekends and flexibility for creative professionals who can't make the same time each week.

My client population consists mainly of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals struggling with trauma or anxiety. In addition, I address challenges particular to women's issues , sexual and gender identity concerns, negative self image/body image and depression. We work through these dilemmas through purposeful and compassionate self care, empowering talk therapy, applied mindfulness techniques, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a process that can help to heal the effects of trauma) when applicable.

I help people who are dealing with: Job stress; heavy feelings surrounding break-ups; artists who have lost their spark and want to find it again-who are navigating between commercial pressures and the ability to have their true voices heard. Intimacy issues, trauma, and love & sex addiction issues as well as other addictive issues are a specialty. My goal is to create a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to unpack difficult feelings and to help facilitate emotional healing.

You already possess the inner resources and capacity needed to heal. At certain times, however, we all need help gaining access to that nurturing capacity: a kind of 'Assisted Self Discovery.' When our minds, bodies, & emotions are all supported together in a safe process of present-oriented exploration, the potential for change is remarkable. I utilize an eclectic approach. Each session is tailored to your unique needs & personal goals. Long-lasting symptom relief/decreased suffering & achieving a more fulfilling life are priorities that guide my work with clients.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a primary specialty in adolescent and young adult mental health, as well as extensive experience treating adults and families. As a psychologist at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, I primarily treat individuals and families with various mental health issues specific to teens, young adults transitioning to adulthood, as well as chronic medical conditions.

Navigating modern adulthood can be complicated and stressful. I specialize in helping adults in their 20s and 30s manage a variety of presenting issues including trauma, relationships, identity, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, and grief and loss. My approach is LGBTQIA+-affirmative, feminist, sex-positive, and culturally-inclusive. We'll work together to identify patterns, build upon strengths, and enrich your sense of self. My style is warm, open, and compassionate, and I aim to provide a safe, collaborative space that nurtures the therapeutic relationship and promotes empowerment and inner growth.

I draw on my years in the worlds of holistic, hospital, and international medicine, Somatic Experiencing (SE) and co-regulating touch therapies, deep wilderness, midwifery, refugee/asylum work, and lived practice in many spiritual traditions in order to collaborate with clients and uncover their authentic, often surprising, resilience.

I work with adults on childhood trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflict. I specialize in working with former foster youth, adults who had to parent themselves as kids, and those who haven’t quite figured out how to separate their self worth from their resume. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and I welcome clients of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and racial, cultural, and ethnic backgrounds. I utilize a strength-based and psychodynamic framework to meet my clients where they find themselves in the complexities of life.

Many of my client's reach out when they're in need of a safe, supportive space to better understand themselves and work through a challenging experience. I love supporting clients in this process of reflection and self-discovery in order to build greater self-compassion and coping skills. Research reveals that clients who trust and feel comfortable with their therapists, report better results. Knowing this to feel all too true in therapy, together, we'll create a collaborative relationship based on trust, curiosity, understanding, and humor in order to help you build a meaningful and fulfilling life.
