Therapists in Marina Del Rey, CA

You deserve to feel seen and live a life of authenticity without the stress and anxiety of being afraid to show others who you are or who you want to be.

I believe that at times we all get sad, down, bummed-out, etc… but nobody needs to be depressed; I believe that therapy need not be: - intimidating; uncomfortable; awkward; unsafe; labeling/diagnostic, OR indoors; I believe that life can be really challenging, especially for those who try to get through it alone; I believe that nobody should even attempt to get through it alone; I believe that "craziness" is in the eye of the beholder & each of us is crazy in our own uniquely beautiful ways..

Are you ready to find freedom from the negative chatter in your head? You know the kind — it’s on a constant loop saying you aren’t good enough for that partner or that you shouldn’t start your own business because you’re just going to fail. Do you need a place to talk about how tough it can be, navigating life as a mixed-raced person? Because if one more person asks “so, what are you, where are you from” (when what they really mean is “why do you look the way you do “), you’re going to scream?

If you are reading this then you have already taken the first step to addressing whatever challenge you are facing or questions you may be asking yourself. Perhaps you are unsatisfied with your life and don’t know why or how to change it. Perhaps you know what the underlying issue is but are afraid to tackle it. Maybe you struggle with co-parenting after a divorce or your teenager is self-harming and you want to help but don’t know how. Maybe you struggle with addiction or self-medicate to avoid dealing with emotional pain.

Are you ready to take control over your life and no longer be a victim of life circumstances? I help people empower themselves to make the changes they want to see by giving them understanding of where these obstacles came from and how they can actively change their own life.

If you are suffering— you are not alone. And you deserve to be held until you can hold yourself. I will provide a safe space to be heard and explore your depths during life's challenging moments. I believe by slowing down to explore our symptoms and difficulties in the therapeutic container we can change our relationship to these challenges, to ourselves, and others. I have a particular interest in supporting people suffering during life transitions (career changes, moves, marriage) as well as relationship anxiety.

I provide a safe place for individuals, couples, and families to deal with their relationship, career, and other issues, as well as with the anxiety, depression and anger that often accompany them.

Do you experience anxiety or depression? Are you interested in understanding yourself more deeply? Do you want to work on relationship issues, loneliness, past trauma, job dissatisfaction, disconnection from your emotions, or issues with expressing yourself? I may be able to help.
