Cancer Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
I work with individuals and couples, exploring the present and past to gain the greater awareness that I believe leads to more potential for choice and desired change. My strength lies in empathy, connection, and acceptance. Using relational therapy, we will honor your unique self, social circumstances, perspectives and goals. I use collaborative conversation, relational listening, and mindfulness to elevate awareness and build behavioral confidence. I prioritize creating a safe space where all you think, feel, and dream can be explored...the deep dark, high light, and the plentiful mundane that compose every life.

In difficult times - loss, cancer, caregiving - I’ll walk alongside you toward healing.
Life is lived in cultural & societal contexts worth examining. Healing occurs when real-life struggles are brought to therapy & mindful awareness is used to gain insights within the therapeutic relationship. This allows insights of therapy & practice into life. Understanding & living fully in the present moment is the best way to prepare for what is to come.

I believe the connection you have with your therapist is essential to having a positive experience in therapy. People seek therapy for many reasons. You notice feeling sad, stressed, worried or overwhelmed; you experienced a traumatic event or a great loss; you are trying to change certain patterns in your life; you want more fulfilling relationships. Whether I am working with individuals, couples or families, I am empathic, collaborative, and provide suggestions and feedback in a safe, respectful and supportive environment. I have worked with different cultures, backgrounds, ages and professions, and love learning from my clients.

I strive to create a warm and accepting environment so you feel comfortable to communicate the challenges you face in your life. If you are having problems with depression, anxiety or relationships, we can work collaboratively to figure out how to help you. I have experience working with children and adults with mood dysregulation and addiction issues.

Welcome! In the last 30 years I've helped people achieve their personal goals. Along the way I've helped people navigate fears, anxieties, depressions, traumas, addictions, work stressors, relationships (including abusive ones) and life pressures to get to a place of resilience, trust, regulation, calm, freedom and truly thrive in alignment with their values. I'm compassionate, engaging, well practiced and an informed therapist who integrates proven clinical approaches to create an individualized, goal-oriented, wholistic (mind, body, emotions, spirit) plan.

I am a psychoanalytic therapist who works with repetitive relationship problems, anxiety, panic disorders, long-term depression and men's issues. These often show up as poor self-esteem, feelings of loneliness and disconnection, false-self, obsessions and addictions, and unexplained physical symptoms. Sometimes people feel that something isn't right, but they aren't sure what. When friends, family and self-help aren't enough, I take the time to get to know you and listen for what repeats itself in your thoughts and actions.

Taking a chance on yourself isn’t always easy and therapy can be a challenging space. I am here to walk with you on that journey. When you're on a plane they remind you its important to put your oxygen mask on first, because you cant take care of others before you take care of yourself. My hope is that therapy can be a space where you can truly take care of yourself, build confidence, become the truest version of yourself, and reach your goals on your terms.

I work with women and teens who feel anxious, emotionally disconnected, or overwhelmed, even when life looks “fine” on the outside. Many of my clients have learned to push through, stay strong, or put others first, often without realizing how past experiences or difficult relationships are shaping their present. Using a trauma-informed approach, therapy becomes a space to gently explore what’s happening beneath the surface, reconnect with emotions and the body, and build a sense of safety and self-trust.

People who enter therapy are the bravest people in the world. The only difference between you and everyone else is that they are choosing to suffer in silence (or not so much silence), and you have decided that you deserve better. You want more. You may have some obstacles in your way, but with a little help there will be better road up ahead. My job is to walk with you, sometimes offering tools that I have picked up along the way, sometimes just listening, always being present.
