Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

If you are living with depression, anxiety, or trauma, working together with a therapist provides an opportunity to process adverse experiences and combat negative feelings. My therapeutic approach consists of creating a safe space that nurtures your strengths and builds resiliency. Along with a compassionate and a holistic approach, I utilize evidence based modalities such as Trauma Focused CBT , and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. My objective is to guide you in challenging your limiting beliefs and developing empowering habits that provide stability, improved communication, and self-expression.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming.

You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

A Licensed Psychotherapist specializing in trauma, crisis, grief, anxiety, depression, and relationships.

I am Intensely DBT trained from The Linehan Institute. DBT began as the premiere treatment for Borderline Personality Disorder and then grew to be successfully used for a variety of issues, including: depression, anxiety, impulsivity, couples counselling and substance addiction. I also use a variety of other practices and therapies, including: CBT , Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Informed Therapy.

Finding solace and stillness in the fast-paced post-covid world has been difficult for many of us. Finding time to reflect on where you are in your life and where you want to be can be difficult to find time for. I am here to listen and help you find intentional space. My areas of practice focus on adults experiencing grief, loss, relationship issues, identity issues, or intimate partner violence. I am equipped to help unpack how you experience the weight of social injustice, systemic racism or intergenerational trauma.

Life is about feeling connected, sharing in the joys and sorrows, and striving for something better, a better you. Therapy is a place where you can share and explore the challenges and achievements that make each of us an individual. I believe that forming a safe, non-judgmental relationship is fundamental to therapy and what guides the healing process. We work together in order to gain insight and learn healthy coping skills in managing challenges faced and the feelings associated with them. I believe that the most difficult job is working on ourselves but it is also the most rewarding.

My approach is compassionate and collaborative, providing a supportive environment to identify and challenge the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may be keeping you stuck. What meaning do we attach to our experiences? How do we make sense of what happens to us? How are our relationships shaped by our expectations? How does our way of thinking affect our way of being? Together we will explore ways to create positive change in your work, your relationships and your life.

Day in and day out, we’re bombarded with messages about how we should be, and many of us find ourselves constantly trying to fit a mold. I create a space of reprieve from the pressures of everyday life – a space where you can relax and be your truest self without fear of judgment. I believe strongly in the power of honest connection to heal the wounds of self-doubt and self-criticism. My priority is to create a space that is inclusive, safe and above all YOURS. I am not here “heal,” but to work alongside you while you grow.
