Teletherapy for Los Angeles, CA

I work with all types of clients, from "Type A" women who are intensely driven, but often feel exhausted from perfectionism-to individuals who have gone or are going through infertility and feel a loss of control-to postpartum women who are experiencing depression and/or anxiety. Most of my clients are seeking something deeper than just "talk therapy." They are interested in how their past traumas show up in their bodies and want to mobilize their pain, so that they can create new narratives and harness their innate power.

I work with individuals adult, children, and families to help them develop healthy, growing relationships with one another, addressing struggles in family dynamics and helping individuals deal with relationship problems, as well as depression and anxiety. My therapeutic approach, developed over 15 years of working with children and families in varying capacities is a collaborative one, aiming to enhance self-understanding, and promotions of personal growth. I am committed to working with you toward a positive solution to the situation causing distress.

Seeking therapy takes courage and strength. Are you experiencing feeling stuck due to childhood trauma? I am here to provide you with unconditional support to process through your anxiety, depression, and other unresolved feelings at your pace. Sometimes we may need someone who is there for us and there are no problems in life that are too big or small. You have taken the first step to seek help, I can help you discover your inner strength to bounce back and deep inside you may be wishing for peace and equilibrium. As a therapist, I aim to help you reach those goals together to bring about inner peace.

So happy YOU are taking the first step to improving your life! Have you been feeling overwhelmed? Having relationship issues? Are you unhappy and unsure why? Ready to break unhealthy cycles? Or do you just need a safe place to process your thoughts and emotions? I work with individuals and couples experiencing stress, anxiety, postpartum, trauma, depression, family or relationship conflict, anger, communication, self-esteem issues, and cultural systemic oppression. I also provide Parenting Therapy to moms, dads, couples, and expecting parents.

Because I've been blessed with life-changing mentors in my life, I can pass the sum of their wisdom on to you, along with my own. Therapy is a healing process that happens through our shared connection and your expanding awareness. It requires a safe place, where truth is expressed and pain is transformed. Typically we meet suffering with distractions, intoxication or denial. When we find a way to experience emotional sobriety, our relationships with ourselves and others can heal. Loss, trauma, emotional intoxication and shame are common issues that breed secondary problems. We’ll approach them with skill, compassion and courage.

I work with couples and individuals. If you are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, postpartum, parenting skills, relationship challenges, family issues, domestic violence, loss/grief, identity, race and cultural issues, or just need someone to talk to, I am here for you.

Perhaps life's uncertainties and events feel frustrating, isolating, painful and heavy. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space for understanding. Therapy can help make meaning of your life experiences, struggles which can lead to growth, healing, and empowerment. I am here as a warm and compassionate Therapist to walk alongside you through some of life's most difficult challenges.

Our goal is to provide a safe place for all who may be experiencing challenges due to trauma, family, work, or life. At Healing Counseling Center, Inc we strive to promote wholeness by healing one person or family at a time by developing inner strength through self-expression.

I am an autistic, disabled, queer licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I live in rural Northern California but am available to work virtually with any client living in California.

I work with adults and teenagers who are looking to manage symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. I will be with you on the journey of healing to discovery, recovery, and connection to your true self. I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transition issues such as career/academic concerns and relationship stress. I approach therapy with a person-centered mindset to create as comfortable and welcoming an environment as I can. I believe the trust built between you and a therapist is one of the more powerful tools we as clinicians can offer, and I hope to garner that trust in my own practice.

Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Trauma can have negative emotional and physical effects and can lead to family/relationship issues. I specialize in solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

Changes in relationships, starting a family, navigating a breakup, leaving for college, changing careers, or facing unexpected situations can make us feel stuck, anxious, or depressed. Life may seem difficult due to these challenges, but we don't have to feel this way forever. I believe everyone has the tools within them to survive, thrive, process, and grow. Together, we will discover these tools, find tangible ways to achieve your goals, and gain clarity about the unknown while exploring your strengths and building resilience toward healing and empowerment.

I have extensive experience working with teenage and young adult populations; I have worked in a variety of therapeutic settings and am very familiar with the needs facing teenage and young adult populations. Given my experience, I have developed a therapeutic approach that aligns with the needs of these populations; I pride myself on a non-traditional approach to therapy, and focus primarily on meeting my clients where they are. I value providing a safe, comfortable space for teens and young adults to be themselves. I have always found that mental health is as important as physical health and should be treated as such.

I work collaboratively, my style is active and engaged with the intention of creating a safe environment to empower understanding, growth, and healing. I guide my clients by helping them modify their lives according to their needs and lifestyle.

As the global pandemic has shown us, sometimes life becomes overwhelming and uncontrollable. During these times it may be best to talk with someone outside of your community of family, friends or co-workers. A warm hearted professional to lend a moment of support and guidance. I share with clients in deciding how best to approach the issues, with the intent of addressing both the current distressing symptoms and long-standing patterns of behavior that are getting in the way of a thriving life. My practice is telehealth-based, and I accept direct pay (some prefer for privacy) as well as most PPO plans as an Out of Network provider.

Life at times can seem like a roller coaster with all of its twists and turns. The inevitable ups and downs with no clear direction can leave us feeling lost. Unforeseen events throw us around for a loop, reminding of us of the uncertainties and whimsical nature of life. Depression, anxiety, feelings of helpless or being left behind can shortly follow. Other times, the opposite is true. Staleness, stagnation, and the far too predictable aspects can lock us down. Is more structure the answer? Or is it more flexibility? It is my hope that we can find the answers to the many questions together, as companions on this journey together.

I believe in the strength that lies within all of us. Therapist and client begin a collaborative journey to find that strength. This journey takes us on a search of solutions to painful and problematic situations. My belief is the foundation from which I develop a therapeutic relationship with my clients. Together, we utilize our creativity to reshape, redefine, and develop a renewed sense of hope, purpose, and inner strength. I help my clients to understand, persevere, endure, and, ultimately, reclaim their will and sense of purpose. I help people find solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems.
