Cancer Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
Do you avoid sharing your true feelings and hide who you really are? Do you cope with stress and burnout by checking out, burying your feelings or numbing yourself? Are you isolated, grieving, and disconnected? Are you confused about your purpose in life, who you are, or where you fit in the world? I am passionate about supporting young people to navigate issues of identity and transition, assisting people-pleasers and caretakers to live more authentically, and helping those who identify as highly-sensitive and neurodivergent cope with a world that isn’t designed for them.

I have particular experience supporting relational healing in highly sensitive people, navigating grief and loss, and coping with the impacts of cancer and serious illness in all age groups.
My work integrates somatic awareness with attachment theory and narrative therapy, recognizing that our sense of self and safety develops through relationships and is carried in the body and nervous system. I view relational and emotional patterns as meaningful responses to lived experience rather than personal deficits. Instead of labeling these as “good” or “bad,” we focus on honoring how they once served a purpose and explore how they can be gently reshaped to better support current needs and relationships. Together, we examine how personal, familial, and cultural stories interact with attachment needs for safety and belonging.

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.

Behind each difficult emotion, lies a valuable lesson. To get through life's obstacles, we need connection, compassion and acceptance. I offer a non judgmental look into how you came to be, so that feelings can be felt and not shut out. By inviting these feelings in & processing them together, we challenge our avoidance/fear so you can be seen right where you are at. This compassionate approach rebuilds the relationship with yourself and gets to the root of change. Change does not come from saying "this is where I want to be and I'm not there now." It happens when we start to understand the purpose a behavior/feeling serves for us.

You might have found yourself lost in your own life, and are ready to come back home to yourself. Good for you! With both clinical and lived experience, I can help guide you on that road from a sex positive, trauma informed perspective.

You and your partner might want to explore consensual non monogamy, responsibly and with care. You might want to learn how to attune with your partner, even during conflict. Or, you might want to change the way you respond to triggers, especially longstanding ones.
