Lesbian Therapists in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, CA

My approach is rooted in all the intersections of my own identity as a Black lesbian woman & a Veteran. In my practice I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, women, POC, military/veterans, & couples. Focusing on empowerment, strength, & enlightenment. I practice Integrative therapy, influenced by post-modern feminist therapy, LGBT+ Affirmative therapy, Intersectional, & social justice frameworks.

I am dedicated to helping others improve the quality of their lives. I have a deep respect for those who come into my office and want to look at issues that can often be very painful and challenging. We all have areas that we struggle with at different times. I provide a very compassionate approach, one that will help you gain insight into what gets in the way of you having a fuller, healthier and happier life.

My client population consists mainly of the LGBTQ+ community and individuals struggling with trauma or anxiety. In addition, I address challenges particular to women's issues, sexual and gender identity concerns, negative self image/body image and depression. We work through these dilemmas through purposeful and compassionate self care, empowering talk therapy, applied mindfulness techniques, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, a process that can help to heal the effects of trauma) when applicable.

Welcome to a space where you can embrace your true self and explore your journey towards becoming the person you aspire to be. In therapy, I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you don't have to face life's challenges alone. I'm here to offer you a warm, authentic connection as we work together to navigate your personal stressors, transitions, and past experiences. Drawing from my experience and specialized training, I'll help you move closer to your goals, discover and harness your inner strengths, and cultivate a deeper sense of purpose and meaning in your life.

As queer, trans, Asian American, and neurodivergent, my therapeutic stance combines my professional and personal experiences with what I learn from you so we may co-create the best approach. Allow me to walk with you on your path, and I will lend guidance and perspective without ever imposing my will over yours. Let’s work together to find the next steps to whatever you bring, the middle path between the burdens and the joys. This can be more somatic-leaning, philosophically-inclined, skills-based, or any combination thereof.

As a multi-award winning spiritual wellness coach and certified holistic practitioner, I help creatives and entrepreneurs remove spiritual stuckness and experience confidence, clarity, and success. I specialize in working with Black women, however, my services are open to women from all backgrounds and orientations. My clients tend to be at a crossroads and are seeking ways to move forward from stagnant energy stopping them from accomplishing their goals. I can help you get back in alignment with your path to live a fulfilling life and excel in your creative and business endeavors.

I believe that creating a safe space infused with respect, compassion, and humor is central to supporting people to embark on a journey towards healing. I incorporate somatic and values-based approaches to help people identify and release longstanding patterns and beliefs that are no longer serving them and move towards a more balanced, satisfying, and values-based life. Whether you are struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety or wanting help sorting out a life transition, I feel humbly honored to be invited along in your journey towards deeper peace.

We're all worth it, man . We're all worth millions of planets and stars and galaxies and universes . River Phoenix ... If you are like any of the sensitive, deep-feeling creatives and empaths that find their way to my office, you sense that we are in the midst of a monumental shift on this planet . And you don't feel prepared for what comes next ... for the global changes on the way ... let alone, in your own personal life . You feel lost . Overwhelmed . Tired of survival-mode ... numbing and distracting yourself ... just trying to get through the day . You are ready for something bigger . More fulfilling . More expansive .

Do you struggle with letting yourself truly rest? Humans aren’t machines, but a lot of us have been trained to hold ourselves to impossibly high standards of productivity. Is balance possible? Can we learn to adjust our pace to allow for rest and calm before burnout inevitably sets in?

Please note: emailing me via Psychology Today is preferred to calling, thank you! :) I know it's exhausting to live in a world that asks us to mask our true identities, needs, and the most unique and beautiful parts of ourselves. We all deserve to have a safe space where we can explore the masks that we wear and the selves beneath them. I have lived experience with neurodivergence, dissociation, polyamory, and am queer and nonbinary, so I understand how valuable it is to have a therapist who understands intersectional experiences and can provide a space for non-judgmental authenticity in healing.

I see therapy as a collaborative process exploring how the past informs the present and allowing trust and authenticity to foster insight and development. I strive to provide the highest quality of care, focusing on the unique needs of each individual and creating a safe environment with room for challenges, exploration, process, and growth. I help clients learn and practice skills for tolerating pain in times of crisis, responding instead of reacting, increasing self-respect, improving relationships, and participating fully in each moment. My ultimate goal is to help my clients build and nurture a life they feel is worth living.

My typical client struggles with anxiety which leads to difficulty performing at work, school, sports, or within relationships with others. They have insight, however, struggle with finding the tools to step into empowerment. We work collaboratively in directly and honestly addressing core issues to achieve concrete, noticeable results.

Therapy is a place to slow down and notice what is going on inside of you and in your environment. Whether you are working on regulating emotions, improving relationships, changing patterns of behavior, and/or accepting yourself where you are, our sessions will offer you a new perspective so you can move forward effectively.

Perhaps you are brand new to therapy, or returning for better results. Maybe you are looking for a therapist that relates to the LGBTQ+ identities/experiences you have, and how those may affect other areas of your life. You're looking for a space to be authentic and explore complex parts of who you are in a safe, affirming space. You might be experiencing anxiety, depression, confusion, or other barriers to your well-being. My priority is inviting you to share who you are so we can create positive outcomes. I combine evidence-based practices with real-world application, placing your experiences at the forefront of therapy.

I work with transgender, non-binary, LGBTQ+ people, and others who struggle with anxiety, supporting you to develop satisfying relationships, greater confidence and a sense of belonging. In a world without adequate role models or people who mirror our self-expression, we often feel like we don’t fit in, we’re not enough, or we’re too much. Anxious thoughts about lack of acceptance can be overwhelming and isolating. Therapy with me offers space to realign with your deepest self and who you want to be in your relationships. I will work collaboratively with you to understand your challenges and connect to the wisdom within.

I specialize in providing therapy for women navigating high-stress or high-visibility environments, focusing on empowerment, relationship dynamics, anxiety management, and executive/leadership challenges. My practice primarily revolves around individual counseling sessions, emphasizing the efficacy of weekly meetings for fostering substantial, enduring progress. Additionally, I bring specialized training and experience in supporting the LGBT community and individuals healing from high-control groups, such as religions or cults, which I integrate into our work when relevant.

Do you want to experience life with less burdensome patterns getting in the way, meet challenges with less anxiety, and heal from limiting self-criticism and shame? I will help you meet all of the parts of yourself with reverence and compassion as we tend to the wounds that are ready for healing.
