Teletherapy for Los Angeles, CA

I truly enjoy working with clients who are seeking understanding of themselves and wanting to create some change in their lives. I also understand that true intimacy is created from the client-patient relationship, therefore it is tantamount to find the right therapist that you (the patient) feels safe/comfortable enough to say anything that is needed in order to illicit insight/change. I ask that all my clients outline specific therapeutic goals so that together we be clear as to our purpose and stay the course of treatment. I am client-focused and open to feedback since treatment is made for the client.

I help clients come to terms with their past, heal, grow, get unstuck, and move forward. You may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, lonely, hopeless, lost, or just "stuck." Still, I know that you can overcome your struggles and begin to live your best life. I help women of all ages and life stages rise up to meet life's many challenges. I help clients overcome their struggles with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, feelings of overwhelm, relationship issues, work challenges, and difficulties staying focused and making important decisions. I'm an active, engaging therapist with a supportive and collaborative approach.

Most of us were taught that gender is binary… but thankfully we know that's not true. Gender is fluid, a spectrum that encompasses identities such as gender non-conforming, genderqueer, & agender. Individuals within the trans & non-binary community grapple with the fear of embracing their authentic selves, contending with societal & familial pressures. However, we now find ourselves in a time where concealing our trans and non-binary identities is unsustainable. Everyone exploring their gender identity deserves a safe, empathetic space to navigate the impacts of gender-phobia & the aftermath it leaves behind. Trans is beautiful!

Whether under pressure to perform, hiding feelings of unworthiness, beating yourself up over past failures, ruminating on hurts, or internally conflicted, I can help you find the direction and peace you need to be successful. Together, we will reconcile your past and find meaningful growth to replace fears about the future. I can help you connect to those you love. I can help you find the courage to change and become more present through psychological safety, curiosity, intelligence, excellence, and honest, nonjudgemental feedback.

I work with clients to create awareness and then address unhealthy patterns that cause so many of us feel lonely, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed by our careers and relationships. I enjoy helping clients identify the impact of imposed values of culture and family, as well as the impact of past experiences, and assist them in creating an authentic and aligned set of values they can live by with more ease and conviction. I also focus on the basics of distress tolerance, creating healthy boundaries, and building a trusting relationship with the self.

I know that beginning psychotherapy can feel scary. I hope to provide a space that feels warm, non-judgmental and helpful. I tend to work with adults, adolescents and couples who are experiencing trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and many of the other effects and challenges of the world we live in. Overall, I believe that navigating these experiences feels better when we get to work through them with someone else.

I am all about developing peace and joy in life, but that can seem beyond reach when you're going through difficult times. Current stressors could affect your sense of wellbeing. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, addiction, or some other discomfort, there might be underlying issues and remote memories, triggering you. Your relationship or career could be affected and you might be ready to do something about it. If you need to move on from problematic childhood events or heal unprocessed trauma, psychotherapy can offer relief and a (much) better life quality.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a drive for facilitating growth, healing, and transformation in individuals and families. With over six years of clinical experience, my practice focuses on areas such as self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I am deeply committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for my clients; one where diversity is honored and every story is valued. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that our past does not define us, but can propel us to affect change in our own lives moving forward.

There's no instruction manual for life. Relationship problems, career questions and mental health issues can make us feel confused about our own identity, where we fit in and how to move forward. I specialize in helping adults and couples navigate difficult feelings, identify and change unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and become "un-stuck" in order to enjoy a more peaceful mind and a happier life. My approach is open, casual, and collaborative, and I strive to maintain a space that is judgment-free, and where clients feel fully accepted, truly seen and supported. I'm LGBTQIA+-friendly, sex/kink-positive and culturally-sensitive.

Being human is challenging. Even if things look okay on the outside, we often don't feel so wonderful on the inside. Many of us spend time replaying past events, imagining future events, and worrying about all of the above. If you want to explore the underlying causes of what's bothering you, come into alignment with yourself, and live in harmony with your deepest true values, then you are an excellent candidate for therapy. Therapy does take work, and I'm here to support you and help you stay motivated and curious during your personal path to healing.

I have a deep passion for helping people find liberation from concerns that bring them to therapy. Understanding why we do things the way we do them is critical to growth, change and healing. I ground my work in warmth, compassion, authenticity and an understanding of how thoughts and emotions relate to neuro/physiological processes, as well as how past experiences inform current beliefs, thoughts, feelings and behaviors. My aim is to help you gain clarity into underlying causes of problems, provide strategies for coping and support you in taking risks and trying new ways of being, to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

You’re looking for tools to deal with life’s challenges. Stronger coping skills and more meaningful relationships. More authenticity and personal empowerment. Less anxiety and fear. A safe, judgment-free space where you can gain awareness and grow. I help people process and heal from the harmful stories that have dominated and shaped their experiences. In our work together, you'll learn how to cope with feelings of overwhelm, set better boundaries and limit unhealthy relationships. You’ll discover how to navigate life’s ups and downs while gaining insight and taking active, effective steps to embody your deepest, truest self.

Many of my clients are survivors of abuse. The type of abuse varies, but includes mental, emotional, sexual, and physical abuse. Often times these individuals want someone to listen to them without judgement and foe someone to believe them. When clients tell me they have experienced abuse, my response is the same. I thank the individual for sharing their story because I understand how difficult it is. It is especially difficult for my male clients. My clients are looking to understand and process the abuse in the hopes of healing and to have healthier relationships.

I provide therapy for adolescents and adults seeking help with issues including parenting, divorce, stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, communication, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, grief, life-changing events, and others. My approach to therapy is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can identify and explore the underlying beliefs driving your behaviors, shaping your habits, and impacting your relationships. Working together using therapeutic approaches such as mindfulness, CBT, narrative therapy, DBT, etc., you will learn to better manage emotions and behaviors, allowing you to meet your own personal goals.

My approach to therapy is based on developing strong relationships with my clients. My style is informal, warm, and direct and my aim is to provide a safe and non-judgmental, yet challenging environment that encourages increased self-awareness and growth. The way we work together will depend on which avenue most effectively addresses your goals.

As a therapist, I will act as your guide as you work to develop healthy relationships, create meaningful work, explore your relationship with society, and evolve on your spiritual path. Together, we will choose from a variety of therapeutic approaches (including imagery, dreamwork, and regression) to journey through your past life and future visions. The adventure of coming to know your authentic self will allow you to create the meaningful changes in your life that you are seeking.

Are you stuck, unable to move forward in your life? I believe that we as human beings are resilient, and that, when we find ourselves stuck unable to move forward in our lives, it's important to seek guidance outside ourselves to unravel and breakfree from whatever is blocking our inner light. I am here to assist you to unravel and break free from whatever is blocking your inner light from shining.

Falling in love can cause our hearts to orchestrate a symphonic experience, many beautiful parts coming together to create a dance of a lifetime. After a few missteps, wrong turns, and bad timing, even the best relationships can spin out of control. No matter if you are having problems related to intimacy, communication, trauma from betrayal, infidelity, differences in sexual fulfillment, finances, parenting or any other impasse you may experience, attunement is available (you can gain the healing, knowledge the fulfillment you desire and deserve).
