Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Ognuno ha una storia da raccontare e un insieme unico di circostanze, sfide ed esperienze che ci rendono chi siamo. Sono diventata terapeuta perché credo che tutti meritino uno spazio sicuro dove possano essere ascoltati e supportati per affrontare qualsiasi problema che impedisca loro di essere la persona che vogliono essere. Ho esperienza con bambini, adolescenti e le loro famiglie, così come con giovani adulti, lavorando su questioni che vanno dall'ansia e depressione all'autostima, trauma, difficoltà di adattamento alle transizioni della vita, relazioni complicate o con persone che semplicemente volevano conoscersi più a fondo.

My goal as a therapist is to help you make positive and lasting changes in your life. You will find me engaged, competent, and collaborative. I have a good sense of humor, am compassionate but am also willing to ask you the difficult questions. I work with my clients to clarify their inner values and locate and develop inner strength and courage to make the changes they want to live more rich and fulfilling lives.

I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Sex Addiction Therapist - Supervisor, and licensed MFT with a private practice in Santa Monica, California since 1994. I offer interpersonal psychotherapy with individuals, families, and groups as well as psychological testing and assessment. My areas of expertise include: substance and process addictions, trauma/abuse, positive psychology, impaired professionals and first-responders, as well as grief/loss, disfigurement, and cross-cultural issues. I provide traditional, forensic, and pre-employment psychological assessment as well as Collaborative/Therapeutic evaluations.

As a therapist, I see myself guiding people on their life path by overcoming such obstacles as depression, anxiety, fear, self-limiting beliefs, and helping them to experience instead the beauty and warmth of their inner rainbow, of claiming joy as their birthright. I love working especially with women at a major transition in their lives: whether from young adulthood to womanhood, from motherhood to 'empty nest' and, ultimately, menopause; women in quest for healthy relationships and a greater meaning in their lives. Spiritual growth, creativity, finding one's purpose - are important issues for everybody to be able to live life to its fullest. I weave my work with a variety of therapeutic approaches including Holistic Healing, Dreamwork and Art Therapy. I'll be happy to discuss any needs you might have to see which modality - group or/and individual therapy - would be the best for you.

Rather than list my technical skills or present a diatribe about my approach to psychotherapy, I will tell you a few significant facts about myself and the work we will do together. I have been providing treatment for 30 years. My clients improve, they recover, and they heal. I assist people who suffer from anxiety and depression through insight and introspection focused on the analysis of a patient’s deep-seeded fear-related trauma and how that fear impacts the NOW . I focus on channeling the energy that can be harnessed from fear, a powerful human emotion that can rob us of our life energy.

Whether you are dealing with an unexpected change, trauma, anxiety, health challenge, relationship stress, depression or other mental health issue, having a trusted guide on the path can make all the difference. I have found mind body therapies get to the root of where we get stuck and allow for positive change. In my experience, an integrative approach brings about deep healing.

As an Asian immigrant, I recognize and appreciate how culture can be a powerful force that influences the way we think and shapes the way we understand ourselves, our emotions, and our life circumstances. Our work together will involve strategies that will help you gain awareness, knowledge, and skills to help improve your life in a manner that is consistent with your personal values and life experiences.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and at heart, a Healer. I believe healing involves the Mind, Body, and Spirit and that through this connection, we can let go of painful Trauma and Limiting/False beliefs that hold us back. I work with Individuals and Couples to help bring clarity where they may be confusion. I use EMDR and Somatic Experiencing to help people work with Trauma and to develop and strengthen their sense of self. When we come from this place of self-awareness, we can have truly satisfying relationships with others because we have healed the wounds within.
