Elders (65+) Therapists in Glendale, Los Angeles, CA

I know I'm most helpful to my clients when I'm 100% present with you. I see your face; I hear your voice; I empathize with you. I check in to make sure I'm on the right track. I trust you to correct me if I'm not. I want to understand exactly how you feel, and why. I jot notes ”you're welcome to see them. I think about you between sessions. This is a client-centered approach to psychotherapy. This is what works for me, and my clients have told me it works for them.

Are you ready to try something different? Life, and the changes that come with it, can be really difficult at times, especially in this modern age. Does this sound familiar? You wake up one morning and it just feels too difficult to get yourself going. You are watching your friends go through life events while you feel like you're still trying to figure things out. You find yourself crying while driving your car, and you can't explain why. You are constantly arguing with a loved one and you just can't stop.

I work with adults, helping my clients gain a deeper awareness of their experience, their history and their current circumstances. I work collaboratively and compassionately with my clients to make sense of their feelings, thoughts and behaviors and develop a sense of comfort and value in being who they are. Together, my clients and I explore their hopes and desires, and experiment with new possibilities and expanded ways of viewing themselves. I specialize in working with people who are struggling with past trauma, experiencing critical feelings about themselves or feeling challenged in their relationships.

Trauma manifests in many forms including difficult childhood experiences, sexual assault, abusive relationships and through various life transitions (divorce, pregnancy, postpartum). These life experiences can negatively shape the way you view yourself, your relationships and your interpersonal world. I can assist you in overcoming the effects of trauma to create a more fulfilling, hopeful life. My treatment approach is psychodynamically-oriented and mindfulness-based with an emphasis on creating a safe environment and alliance to help you feel secure and supported. I use empathy, humor and curiosity to fully understand your distress and work along side you to create change.

Life is difficult, and even the strongest and the most intelligent people need help at times. You should be proud of any steps you take towards challenging your fears and self-growth.

Overall this is what can help you heal and grow.
