Hi, I'm Alia - a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I've been in the helping field for more than 18 years and recently opened a private practice. I received my Master's degree at Chapman University and completed the requisite 3000 hours of experience before sitting for the two California state exams which resulted in my licensure as a California Marriage and Family Therapist (license #44410). I am a Clinical Member of the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) and CAMFT's local chapter.

Are you at a crossroads, wondering what it would take to turn things around? Are you having the same arguments, not knowing how to break the cycle? Or perhaps you've decided to end your relationship but want to do so in a peaceful, respectful way that won't cause more hurt, especially if you have children together. This is a serious, life changing decision and should not be made out of frustration. Isn't it better to look at all options, get an objective opinion, then make the best choice possible? This is where a neutral professional can help. Limited In-personal appts available Tu-Th in Palm Springs. Video sessions avail. M-F

We all learn, whether intentionally or not, ways to handle the hardships that are a part of our life. These choices and mechanisms can be helpful and fruitful for our lives, or they can have hurtful and destructive outcomes. Some may seek healing, while others may choose to numb or ignore uncomfortable circumstances. No matter where you may fall in this spectrum, my desire as a therapist is to assist you with learning healthy and positive coping skills, so that you can take these skills into your everyday life and bring about the change you would like to see in yourself.

My clinical approach is based on Solution-Focused Short-Term Therapy. I believe strongly that each client comes to therapy equipped with the inherent strengths and abilities necessary to uncover and implement the steps required to resolve the difficulties facing him or her. I see my role in that process as being one of assisting my client to heighten their awareness of, and access to, those strengths. I help my client become aware of all the possibilities for change and then collaborate with them in the creation of alternative solutions. (Note: Accommodations to my fees will be considered on an individual case basis).

Change your mind and you change your life. You are important, powerful and valuable. You create your life. Hypnosis accesses the part of your mind that controls your emotions, behaviors and body. You are truly the master of your life. By working with the part of mind that brings your manifestations into fruition [it] makes everything in your world flow smoother, easier and simpler than you have ever imagined. Your mind is amazing; Isn't it time you utilized all aspects of it?

Individuals who reach out to me for therapeutic services are facing issues related to disruption in their life due to anxiety, relationship changes, addiction and depression. I focus on client centered therapy and listening carefully to the needs and goals of my clients. Together we explore what you want and your motivation for change leading to an improved sense of balance and well being. Therapy is the place for my clients to experience a non judgmental and open listening space to regain a sense of improved self esteem along with mastery over the symptoms that have caused distress in the past.

I devote my work to hearing and understanding your experience as a unique individual in the world. Psychotherapy can be difficult but transforming work. I am committed to creating a warm and empathic environment with you as we work together to explore your choices in developing a life path that works for you. What are the struggles in your life? How are you dealing with life's problems? When you feel ready, join me in a journey of healing; tell me your story. How are past experiences affecting your life today? I will be creative in joining you to design solutions.

Anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, lasting effects of past trauma, and other sources of upset can be stressful and challenging to handle. Choosing therapy can be an important step in support of relief, healing, and reaching goals. In therapy, problems and challenges can be re-framed as opportunities for improved self-care, reflection, positive action, learning and growth. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, the Gottman Method for Couples, Mindfulness Techniques, current research on habit formation, as well as many other relevant and helpful tools to assist you in reaching your goals.

Affirmative, interactive, client-centered therapy can help you address depression, anxiety, and destructive behaviors. I serve heterosexual, gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer, trans, non-binary, and polyamorous individuals. I practice individual therapy, relationship counseling, and sex therapy. My experience includes working with substance use issues from a harm reduction approach, regardless of whether my client's goal is abstinence or substance use management. I love to help people address trauma, improve communication, take control of their lives, gain sexual confidence, and get their needs met.

My clients come to me when they're experiencing emotional and/or mental distress and just want the pain to stop...now. They are sleep-deprived (or the opposite), stressed over college, depressed about work, angry or indifferent to everyone, anxious, frustrated by everything! Their stomachs hurt and heads ache. The problems may stem from unmet needs (love, belonging, self-esteem), various issues (anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, chronic pain) or not meeting personal or life goals. While change can feel difficult and scary, you can learn powerful, safe ways through as you progress to becoming the person you truly want to be.

My style of working with clients is in active, conversational dialogue that usually leads to accelerated progress and change. My goal is to find the balance between caring and challenging that helps my clients feel heard and supported in their therapy journey. I work well with highly sensitive people to help them understand and manage their extra emotional sensitivity especially learning how to respond rather than just react to life. I also enjoy working with couples and multiple partner relationships that want to stay together with less conflict and more caring.
