Person-Centered Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

My goal is to empower individuals to be their own change agents and gain the insight, support, and skills that they need to live their lives to their fullest potential. My approach is person-centered, solution-focused, collaborative, and strength-based. I believe in being flexible and catering my approach to each individual's unique needs. I often incorporate solution-focused, narrative, cognitive behavioral, and motivational therapy when working with my clients.

Therapy is a powerful decision to begin the work towards realizing a more whole and fulfilling life. What past events have shaped you and how you experience the world? What patterns or blockages keep you stuck in survival mode and unable to fully thrive? What limiting beliefs continue to impact your relationship with yourself and others? I am a licensed clinical therapist practicing in Los Angeles within a relational, holistic, and person-centered framework. I have 12 years of experience working with those who live with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, or need support in navigating everyday challenges and life transitions.

Live the life you unconditionally deserve! Nights and weekend counseling sessions are available to avoid any work/school scheduling issues and promote your success! I work with individuals interested in personal growth, excelling in effective communication styles, setting and maintaining healthy boundaries, minimizing procrastination, and achieving flow states while alleviating mental health challenges. My choice modalities include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with a Person-centered approach, inner child work, and a mix of Rational Emotive/ Dialectical Behavioral techniques.

Do you feel anxious due to your work, family issues, low self-esteem, and relationship issues? I can especially help those with anxiety/panic attacks. I make it a priority to help clients with buried feelings who have trouble speaking on their emotions. Communicating emotionally is extremely important to promote well-rounded and mature adults. I will help you enhance your self-awareness around unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and build skills necessary to handle life more effectively and develop actionable steps to reach your goals.

I know therapy can be intimidating and awkward, asking you to share your life with a stranger can be uncomfortable. I want to give you a safe space free of judgment. I am not promising you that I have all the answers but together we can peel back the layers and see what is going on. Not every session has to be serious or draining. I enjoy what I do and I want you to enjoy therapy too. I want to laugh and chat with you about your weekends, the music you like or tv shows your currently binging. Please feel free to reach out!

Don’t recognize yourself in the mirror? Feeling out of integrity with who you really are? Struggling to come into your identity with confidence? Isolated and hopeless, or lost in your relationships?
