Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

My goal is to provide a warm, caring, respectful, and compassionate environment to help you uncover the roots of emotional pain, suffer and unlock pathways for joyous, resilient, and meaningful living. My core values are: kindness, compassion, respect, and understanding. Within this kind of relationship, deep healing naturally unfolds, transforming cycles of abuse, neglect, addiction, depression, and anxiety, to make way for fulfilling relationships,peaceful existence and wellness.

I am happy to see the recent focus on the importance of mental health. After a pandemic, difficult social change, and economic uncertainty, it is normal to feel anxiety about the future. I am "down to earth" and "easy to talk to" which helps people work through issues more deeply. Using evidence-based approaches, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness , and humanistic psychology to help clients move forward in meaningful ways. I tailor therapy to each individual and include all aspects of a person's life, including family dynamics, cultural factors, job / financial pressures, coping skills and health/ wellness.

I have been passionate about helping those suffering with the impact of life's challenges for over 20 years. I have worked in a psychiatric hospital, an intensive outpatient facility, in various schools, a non-profit agency for foster children, and maintained a private practice for over 10 years. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Compassion Focused therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction therapy to help people transform their wounds into wisdom so they can live lives of hope, courage, and freedom.

It can be challenging to maintain a healthy mood these days. Much of the information we navigate is designed to hijack us with fear of the future or regret from the past. Practicing Mindfulness is a bridge to reality. It can help us understand those fears and regrets, so we can focus on what's actually happening. Then we can consider the things we actually have some control over, and begin making better-informed choices for our own wellbeing.

I am interested in treating people whose potential is hindered by negative concepts of themselves imprinted in childhood (through traumatic experiences or neglect of basic emotional needs) and who frequently suffer from symptoms like chronic depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I am committed to helping these individuals attain a sense of self that brings them happiness and fulfillment. My basic perspective is that the human mind possesses the capacity to heal itself, if guided in the right way. I have explored various methods and approaches to helping the mind restore its basic wholeness.

You seem like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed by the struggle to meet your own unrealistic expectations for yourself. You feel weighed down by shame and can’t shake the feeling that something is inherently wrong with you, or that certain parts of you are unacceptable or unforgivable. You try to numb away this feeling with distractions, which might look like addictive tendencies such as workaholism, entering into unhealthy relationships, and overuse of drugs and alcohol.

I offer in person, outdoor garden sessions and do phone when needed.

Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger.
