Family Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
I hold a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master of Divinity, and I bring together a spiritual-contemplative foundation with psychotherapeutic depth to support you towards emotional wellbeing and resilience.
Living with anxiety, depression, or something that feels bigger than your usual coping can hold is not easy to recognize and accept. Life may have felt manageable until it just isn’t anymore.
Perhaps you're in the middle of a major life transition; a career shift, a relationship ending, a major identity shift, or questioning beliefs you've held for a long time. Or maybe there's no single crisis, just a persistent sense that something inside needs attention.
I help adults and couples move through these struggles at the root, not just the surface, so healing is lasting, not temporary.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I practice in alignment with the National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics, with service and respect for lived experience at the center of my work. I see therapy as a collaborative process grounded in a strong client-therapist relationship. Clients who are looking for an active role in therapy may find my approach effective.
Together, we can explore barriers to self-regulation with curiosity rather than judgment and work toward meaningful change. My approach is informed by thinkers such as Dr. Joy DeGruy and Dr. Gabor Maté.

I help teens, adults, couples, and families master self-regulation and relationship skills to move past anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and the patterns that keep them stuck.
I help people master two game-changing skills: self-regulation—so you can think clearly and respond intentionally—and relational intelligence—so you can build meaningful connections without losing yourself. In our work together, you’ll gain practical strategies you can apply in daily life to reduce stress and strengthen relationships.

I have maintained a private practice providing individual, couple, and group psychotherapy in the Los Angeles area for the last 21 years. Life is not easy, and sometimes it gets really hard. But the measure of success is how we cope with life's challenges.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples feel more grounded and successful in their relationships and lives. I believe relationship issues as well as common symptoms like depression and anxiety often stem from habitual patterns of relating that may have historical importance, but may no longer be useful to us. As new issues arise in our lives these habitual patterns and our own vulnerabilities may impact our ability to feel competent and fulfilled.

I think of therapy as a creative and collaborative process that allows for a deeper, more integrated sense of oneself to emerge over time. I work with clients to help them better understand and navigate their experiences so that they can feel more authentic and aligned as they move through the world. I see myself as a helper and guide as clients build understanding of how to release old patterns and experience new things.

I have over 25 years of experience guiding adults, couples and families through life's challenges
My goal is to help my patient’s navigate their journey of life. Having traveled through many personal challenges, I bring much of my life's experiences into the therapeutic realm. I believe in growth and acceptance of one's place in the present. I have found the way in which we move through the world is usually the path of what is familiar to us, but too often this way no longer serves us. Shifting our way of thinking can stimulate an alternative pathway of moving through the world and achieving the peace of mind we seek.

Focusing on your feelings and specific needs, I draw from psychodynamic theories, attachment theories, and Internal Family Systems, while remaining committed to ongoing growth.
My approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration, aiming to help you better understand yourself and uncover the patterns that shape your life. Together, we will explore how these patterns once served you but now hold you back or get in the way of deeply connecting with others. I will support you in developing skills and ways of relating that align with your goals. I believe in our shared need for community and the transformative power of being truly seen and understood. Healing begins with a warm, trusting relationship, and I am dedicated to creating a safe space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.

Hi there! I have 13 years of experience working in the fields of complex trauma and addiction, including treatment centers. My interest in this work comes from lived experience, and when sitting with clients I try to be mindful of the power dynamics inherent to psychotherapy by maintaining a sense of equality and cultural humility. I believe that symptoms have meaning, that the psyche leads the way in the therapeutic process, and that we all have innate self-healing capacities. I think we are often beset by inner conflict between different parts of the self, and learning internal communication and compassion is integral to healing.

I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, and difficult life transitions, including the ones who look fine on the outside while quietly running on empty underneath. Many arrive worn down by worry that won't switch off, a heaviness they can't quite name, or the sense that they're going through the motions of a life that used to feel like theirs. Together we get curious about the patterns keeping them stuck, loosen them, and build toward feeling like themselves again. My work is warm, honest, and collaborative, and paced so you never feel rushed.

I have experience and skill working with adolescents and families -- addiction and recovery -- behavioral issues.
I believe our destiny is not created by our history. Far too often we let the script of our past taint the next chapter of our life. Are the chains of grief, trauma, addiction, abuse, betrayal, sadness, fear, anger or self-hatred holding you back? I am curious…… What sparkling moments in your life have you forgotten about? What would life look like if you broke free and left all of the labels behind - even just for a moment? Is there a possibility you could awaken from a nightmare and begin to dream differently? What if the rebirth of creativity was possible? What if hope was renewed and slowly a new story began to form?

I view therapy through a person centered and relational lens when working with individuals, couples and families.
The main predictor that determines if therapy will be successful is the client’s connection with their therapist. That is why it is crucial to find a therapist who is empathetic to your journey and approaches you without judgment. It is my goal to empower my clients to take the lead in their therapeutic journey. I work alongside you in a warm and understanding environment where you can explore your emotions and find better ways to deal with the stressors in life. We will collaborate to increase your self-esteem, develop healthy boundaries and enhance your relationships.
