Hello and welcome! If you are struggling with identity issues, anxiety, depression, sexuality, self-esteem, life transitions, and/or relationship difficulties, I believe that we can work together towards healing, resolution, and growth. I work psychodynamically with individuals and couples who want to heal past traumas and pain in order to achieve greater self-awareness, acceptance, and freedom. I believe we are all greatly affected by childhood experiences and relationships, and by examining these we can create the space for greater clarity and growth both on an individual level and within current relationships.

For both individuals and couples, we'll work to address the root of the problem in order to create long-term change and growth. While I'm good at helping people build copings skills, I'm best at addressing issues that arise around relationships trauma, sexuality, identity, and self-esteem. We will work toward helping you feel and function better while wrestling with the deeper, messier issues at the root of the problem.

I specialize in working with couples who find themselves in high stress, high conflict situations and are committed to making their relationship work. I also specialize in working with men who want to be better fathers, husbands, and proud of the direction they are headed in life. I have advanced training in marital therapy, trauma recovery and existential meaning making. I am highly relational, process oriented, and committed to growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker having earned my Master of Social Work Degree from University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from California State University Northridge. Psychotherapy is both a helping relationship and a process of change, which overcomes problems and increases happiness. I provide psychotherapy to adults with concerns related to depression, anxiety, adjustments/life transitions, relational problems, school/work difficulties, women’s issues, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, parenting difficulties, and family conflict.

As a Marriage & Family Therapist, I have a passion for providing guidance to those facing the stress and struggles of their everyday lives.

Play, with neither a plan or purpose, is the best precondition -- Marie-Louise von Franz. Everyone has a story and sometimes we become stuck in our story because we want to move in a direction that may be different than what is expected. Being stuck may manifest with symptoms of anxiety, depression or other disorders. My approach is to encounter these symptoms with curiosity rather than judgment. The role of therapy is to provide understanding and an empathetic ear with a belief that the activity of therapy will provide insight and healing.

Hello. I'm Lisa, a compassionate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with over 11+ years working in various settings within the mental health field. My experiences has allowed me to work collaboratively with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My approach to therapy is grounded in CBT, which focuses on changing any unhelpful or unhealthy thoughts and behaviors. I am flexible in my approach, utilizing other theoretical approaches depending on what's needed for each individual. My areas of interest include working with depression, anxiety, life adjustments, relationship issues, grief/loss, stress management, and trauma.

While I enjoy working with clients from all fields, I specialize in treating creative professionals and artists. I bring to my work a background in the entertainment industry; I understand what it takes to cope with the pressures and anxieties of navigating a career in show business. As a creative, you may be building your career or considering a complete career shift. Regardless of where you are now, the unknowns of where you'll end up next can be anxiety-provoking. We'll work together to explore your inner and outer worlds to understand the patterns that may be aiding or delaying the outcomes you desire for your life.

Are you overwhelmed and exhausted? Do you feel pulled in every direction and unable to find rest? Do you find yourself eventually shutting down from all the stress? There may be some deeper patterns at work, keeping you from thriving. Therapy is the perfect place to explore these patterns, and how your own family of origin may have affected your identity and relational style. I would be honored to share this exploration with you, and help you discover tools to rest, be at peace, and stay present in relationships. Let's create the space for you to find deeper meaning in your life, love, and work. Please call and leave me a message!

I believe that respecting and honoring the humanity in each person I see is of the utmost importance to therapy. People are humans first, not a diagnosis. I have a special interest in helping people around the topics of adoption, chronic pain/ illness, and an emphasis on couples work in addition to addressing anxiety and depression. In addition to private practice, I hold the position of Clinical Director for the Los Angeles Chapter of A Home Within—a non-profit that matches wonderful volunteer therapists with current or former foster youth for weekly psychotherapy sessions, for as long as it takes.

I believe that growth is a balance of tackling our short-term challenges while uncovering their long-term patterns and origins. I consider it a privilege to work alongside my clients and find out what is possible when we make the decision to explore and evolve. My approach is tailored to each individual and their goals, but I center my work around a psychodynamic approach that incorporates mindfulness-based stress reduction, somatic therapy, attachment theory, and family systems.

Initiating the journey of change and personal growth requires courage since it can be anxiety provoking. Your action to explore therapy is a testament to your strength & resilience, marking the beginning of a brave and positive move toward the life you deserve. Together, we can navigate a journey towards nurturing healthier connections with yourself and others, shaping a more fulfilling life and relationships. We'll collaboratively delve into your experiences through compassionate, engaged self-inquiry, aiming to uncover and transform them with experiential approaches.

All it takes is a little bit of adulting to realize that right about when we think we have it all together, life throws us a curveball. These instances can leave us feeling stuck – stuck in unhealthy patterns and behaviors, in feelings of anxiety or depression, and even in relational conflicts that seem impossible. For some, it’s balancing the demands of parenthood or a job situation that feels like it’s heading toward burnout. For others, it might be relationships that lack boundaries and expectations. However, here’s a glimmer of hope…you have the ability to move beyond “just surviving” and toward a place where you can thrive.
