Out of Network Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Many of my clients have led very successful lives, either in school, at work, or at home. They are highly resilient, resourceful, hard working, and strong, which is why they can't explain the anxiety or depression that keeps bubbling up. They are hesitant to seek therapy because they don't want to tinker with what is working, yet they are feeling emotions that sometimes don't make sense or are hard to manage. They feel isolated because they believe they can't share these vulnerabilities with anyone else, either because they are ashamed of feeling them or because they may not be able to trust others with that information.

I am a Los Angeles–based psychologist specializing in providing identity-affirming, evidence-based care for both individuals and couples/relationships. I enjoy helping clients to clarify their values, cultivate depth in their relationships, and foster self-understanding that catalyzes growth. I take an active, strengths-based, and integrative approach that draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), and interpersonal modalities.

My practice welcomes adults and adolescents facing concerns such as managing stress, dealing with loss, improving relationships, loneliness, eating and body-image issues, self-esteem, anxiety, sadness and depression. My approach to therapy emphasizes the development of a mutually respectful helping bond and integrates psychodynamic, insight-oriented, and cognitive-behavioral perspectives. I will work to help you more effectively manage distress and maximize growth and joy.

Life can bring about many obstacles - whether stressors or a medical condition - and a therapist can facilitate change or healing. I specialize in providing psychotherapy to individuals experiencing adjustment issues to a medical condition or stressor, anxiety, depression, trauma, or a spiritual crisis. If you have cognitive difficulties, I provide cognitive rehabilitation and executive skills coaching to strengthen your mental abilities to engage in home and work. At times, neurological injury brings behavioral changes. We can jointly develop a behavioral plan to manage behaviors to improve relationships and ensure safety.

Have you attained success in your life, only to find that you feel resentful and burnt out? As a high achiever, it’s confusing to suddenly feel disconnected from the passion that has always driven you. Maybe this dissatisfaction has been slowly growing over the years & you’ve been able to manage it. But now you’re finding it harder to feel interested in your work or relationships. You may also be feeling exhausted & curious why your skills simply aren't working anymore.
