Therapists in Westchester, Los Angeles, CA

Why therapy for a child? We know that the world can be a challenging and overwhelming place, and it is no different for a child. I can support you and your child to navigate feelings of sadness, anger, fear, and frustration. You may or may not know why your child is having a hard time and certain feelings may be masquerading as challenging behaviors. I can help uncover what may be causing discomfort, fear, anxiety or sadness.

I am a mature therapist with much life experience to draw upon. This life experience, in addition to extensive educational preparation is the foundation of my work with individuals and couples who wish to experience a greater sense of aliveness and maintain a consistent sense of self in relationship with others.

I have extensive experience working with teenage and young adult populations; I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings and am very familiar with the needs facing teenage and young adult populations. Given my experience, I have developed a therapeutic approach that aligns with the needs of these populations; I pride myself on a non-traditional approach to therapy, and focus primarily on meeting my clients where they are. I value providing a safe, comfortable space for teens and young adults to be themselves. I have always found that mental health is as important as physical health and should be treated as such.

Life can create obstacles and therapy is there to support you with tackling the things that are weighing you down. I create a safe place to process your thoughts/feelings and provide insight around your patterns/behaviors. It can be scary to make changes in life, but the results of facing hard things can be rewarding and empowering. My approach to therapy is strength based, client-centered, & holistically grounded.

I promise there’s a reason you’re feeling the way you do, and the reason is more understandable than you think. When we’ve experienced something hard, no matter how much we try to move on, sometimes we can’t shake the leftover bad feelings. These last few years have been tough on everyone - if you're struggling right now, you're not alone. Maybe you can’t sleep, can’t stay motivated, or you’re unsatisfied with relationships at home or work. I work with a lot of LGBTQ youth and adults, couples who can't stop fighting, and burnt out parents. I hold therapy in a social justice lens and care about your unique perspectives.

There is no reason to live with insomnia, pain, fears or anxieties, extra weight, low self-esteem or old habits that no longer serve you well and damage your health and well-being. I sit down with you in our first coaching session to find out what you want to accomplish. What behaviors and emotions do you want to experience when you achieve your goals? I am a firm believer in the fact that all of my clients have the answers they are seeking within themselves; I simply help you to draw these out.

I think parents are very important. Most parents raise their children the best way they can. Sometimes the best way your parent or parents raised you did not match your needs or your emotional personality. I believe each person is able to identify their needs when properly supported. My main focus when working with clients is to develop an understanding of their main strengths as well as areas that were not supported by their parents' parenting style. Our work together will focus on improving your overall understanding of your potentialities and will support your efforts at achieving them.
