Therapists for Seniors in Los Angeles, CA
You've built a life that looks successful from the outside, but inside there's a heaviness that won't lift. Maybe you grew up as the responsible one in a family shaped by addiction, or you learned early to manage a narcissistic parent's moods, or you simply never learned what it felt like to be truly seen. You've tried therapy before and it helped you understand your patterns, gave you tools and insight, but something fundamental hasn't shifted. You still feel the anxiety in your chest, the numbness, the sense that you're going through the motions. Those early survival patterns still live in your body. That's where we need to go.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

The people I work with have spent years performing, producing and pushing. Then something changes, relationship problems, career changes, or you may realize you want to live more authentically to yourself. I specialize in working with Artists in their 20s-50s navigating all the changes in life and the deeper identity questions that surface over a lifespan.

A simple yet profound piece of wisdom I have learned is that we can't truly heal alone. It is a great honor for me to walk alongside those who feel they have lost their connection to joy only to discover, that with the right kind of support, the vibrant and resilient person inside was never really gone. The support I will provide for you integrates a multi-faceted approach to therapy. You will learn why our brains function the way they do and gain a deep understanding of our nervous system. We will gently explore your past and in the process uncover fundamental information about how it affects who you are today.

When we feel powerless, alone, or taken advantage of, it makes sense that we numb to cope. We often do this through alcohol and substance use, isolation, or patterns in relationships that leave us feeling more disconnected. The things we choose to cope often work really well, until they don’t.
I work with adults and teens, with a special focus on creative individuals - artists, performers, writers, and makers -who are navigating the impact of trauma and the patterns they've developed to survive it.

I approach our first session with the desire to know what prompted you to book the session. This is because people typically book a therapy session with a specific issue in mind or a problem to address. I assure you that if you are motivated to change your mindset and ready to work on yourself, you will be able to feel more peaceful and calm after just one session, and you will leave knowing that you have the tools to solve your issues.

You’ve spent a long time holding it together, but underneath there’s anxiety, pressure, and emotional exhaustion. You may feel stuck in old roles, overwhelmed by expectations, or disconnected from who you really are. I work with adults who are tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, and questioning themselves, and who want relief, clarity, and a stronger sense of self. Therapy is a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making changes that actually last.

Starting therapy can be overwhelming. My goal is to eliminate that stress and create a space for adolescents, adults, couples, and families to process emotions and explore their identities and their relationships in a non-judgmental, safe environment. We all undergo transitions and experiences that require additional support from an objective third party to allow us to thrive personally and interpersonally. I utilize individualized, evidence-based approaches to foster a collaborative environment that produces long-term change.

I help kids, grownups, and everyone in between find their own True Voice, so they can live the lives they deserve.
Maybe your child is misbehaving at school, or your teenager is sullen and distanced, or you're in love and know you'd like to stay with this person, if you could only change a few things that really scare you. Or maybe there's an aggressive part of you that your parents didn't know how to handle, or a hurt and vulnerable side that you've always felt too ashamed to feel.

Through empathy, understanding and genuine compassion for your struggle, I will work with you as you fulfill that need for a better, happier, more meaningful life.
