Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

If you're struggling with anxiety, panic, and stress you're not alone - it can be scary and isolating managing these thoughts. My work focuses on creating a holding space where we can explore thoughts, patterns, family dynamics, and life experiences in a collaborative format where you take the lead. There is healing in transforming our negative core beliefs (those typically and surprisingly start before age 7) and creating an updated narrative. I hope that together we can create a space of curiosity and gentleness as we unpack thoughts/feelings and learn strategies to reduce stress.

You may be overcomplicating your healing, or talking in circles, when something simpler and more fundamental needs to happen at the body-level. In a nutshell, we help you overcome mind and body symptoms to achieve embodied heaven. There is no doubt: the body keeps the score. We combine traditional talk therapy with body-based practices that work quickly and effectively to transform the nervous system and bring true relief. We treat anxiety, depression, burnout, pain, imposter syndrome, trauma, career, teens, couples, and more. Our science-supported practices include EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, CBT, ACT & DBT

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and professional clinical counselor fortunate to be based in the beautiful costal towns of Southern California. I offer client-centered therapy specializing in the treatment of anxiety, depression, addictions and cultural adaptation through the therapeutic tools of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

A core part of therapy is the strength of the relationship between client and therapist. I believe in building a positive therapeutic relationship that is collaborative, safe, and genuine. I often work with clients to better understand themselves and their patterns, gain insight into maladaptive behaviors, express their thoughts and emotions honestly, learn to cope effectively with stressors, and find a greater sense of identity and connectedness.

I am a licensed MFT working with individual adult clients seeking positive change in their lives. I was training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I believe when we change, life changes. Positive shifts such as increased self-agency and improved relationships with others and with oneself start happening for clients on the internal and external levels of their lives. Internally means clients start feeling more relief, and more satisfaction and external positive shifts mean they “get” more of what they want from work, relationships, or other areas of their lives they care about.

If you're feeling stuck, anxious about your future, and finding it difficult to move forward in your life than I would love to chat with you.

I believe each person has their own inner wisdom and I want to help you access it.

I work with people to claim internal power, and to take charge of your own story, regardless of your age.

I have worked extensively with youth, adults, and QTIBIPOC folks on life transitions, anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, bipolar, neurodivergence (ADHD and autism), psychosis, mood swings, and relationship issues. My style of therapy is not passive, we will set concrete goals and I'll help you build the skills to achieve them.

My therapeutic style is warm, supportive, authentic, and collaborative. I integrate goal-directed and evidence-based modalities that include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed approaches, mindfulness and other mind-body techniques. I am dedicated to working in collaboration with my clients to learn, grow, and thrive even in the face of adversities.

Connecting with the right therapist can be challenging. As a clinician, I strive to empower clients to make meaningful changes, while also helping them hold self-compassion in the process. I ground my work in evidence-based therapies, and use an in-depth case conceptualization to understand how problems are getting in the way of the life my clients want to lead.
