Alcohol Use Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Life can be difficult and we all find ourselves at times struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings. Past traumas or current stressors can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, or disconnected from ourselves and others. As a psychotherapist, I provide a compassionate, safe, and non-judgmental space for clients to explore with curiosity their feelings, thoughts, behaviors, and how they serve them and where they would like to bring in change.

I work with teens and adolescents with kids who are are struggling with a variety of mental health issues while trying to find themselves in this complex world. Many of my teen/adolescent clients struggle with issues of anxiety, depression, trauma, ODD, OCD, school anxiety, experimenting with pot and alcohol use , conflict with their families, self esteem issues, social anxiety, anger management and sexual identity issues. We talk about what's going on in their lives and I help them with DBT and CBT techniques to manage triggers so they don't act on these intense emotions to create an even more difficult situation or crisis.

Clients who work with me realize how they can be in the driver's seat of their life and challenge the anger, guilt and pain that keeps them stuck. Many of my clients overlook their well-being due to exhausting themselves in their relationships or have difficulties with confidence, boundaries and managing big emotions. I help clients develop skills to deal with challenging situations, process complicated emotions, and establish healthy relationships with people and themselves. I strive to create a safe and encouraging space where you are able to freely share, express unfiltered thoughts and explore personal pains.
