Relationship Issues Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

My approach to therapy encompasses warmth, humor, empathy and effective strategies to help you work through barriers that cause you to feel stuck, unfulfilled and disconnected. Our work together will help you generate more insight into your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in order to understand and work through the unconscious processes that are getting in your way. Cultivating a healthy relationship with yourself is the most rewarding investment you can make and I am committed to creating an environment where you feel inspired to make meaningful change.

“Pain brings a sense of depth to this world” - Nietzsche. Sometimes it feels that life has dealt a tough hand, however, psychotherapy could bring healing and growth. You might be seeking therapy to adapt new cultures, navigate language barriers, reduce immigration anxiety, process interpersonal relationships, resolve family conflicts, heal from a trauma, and explore your identity. You also might be seeking couple or family therapy to improve your relationships. I am passionate about helping individuals affected by cultural issues and life transitions; particularly to those who are Asian-identifying and Mandarin speaking individuals.

I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in sex therapy & sexual wellness. I help my clients work through sexual shame, trauma, anxiety, painful sex, issues around arousal, orgasm & desire, compulsive behavior/”porn or sex” addiction, & sexual inexperience or anorexia. I believe my first job is to create a sense of safety by attuning to you and ensuring you a shame-free/judgment-free space. My second job is to help you identify the obstacles that are blocking you from sexual well-being and use my expertise, training and education so that you can get unstuck, reach your goals & find deep healing with sustained change.

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

Starting a new relationship is a big step. And one of the most important steps in therapy is finding a therapist to build connection and space for healing. I aim to co-create an attuned, safe, and collaborative relationship. Where we go in your therapeutic journey centers around your goals and individuality. Together, we can explore problem narratives, relationship patterns, oppressions that may impact you, and mind-body connection with warmth, curiosity, and compassion. I hope to accompany you through the (re)discovery of your inherent resilience to pursue growth that enables you to live authentically and explore new possibilities.

Hello and welcome! I view mental health and its importance the same way that I view getting my car serviced; sometimes you go in just for a tune up and other times it requires more serious work. Either way, the service is beneficial and things start working a lot smoother afterwards. My goal is to create an environment that is safe and non-judgemental so clients feel comfortable disclosing whatever is on their hearts and minds. Clients come to me with a variety of concerns/needs ranging from relationship issues, stress, anxiety to simply needing a sounding board. Whatever the concern may be, you are welcome.

Are you struggling with a relationship and no longer able to communicate with each other? Do family and friends understand your feelings? Whether you are struggling with: depression, anxiety, fear, negative thinking, any type of abuse and/or trauma, self-esteem, communication in relationships, understanding can create positive changes and diminish symptoms. I am here to help understand what lies underneath these issues. As an experienced therapist who has worked with children, adolescents, and adults for 20 years, I work closely with my clients to develop individual goals that focus on: lessening depression, anxiety, and increasing communication in relationships.

I provide psychotherapy to teens, adults, and couples with various challenges and life stressors. I am passionate about working with clients from various cultural backgrounds, and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for my work. Through getting to know you and your unique story, I work to help you develop insight, build self-awareness, and embrace acceptance and positive change. My specialty areas include relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Do you feel a gnawing sense of disconnection from yourself, your partner, or from nature? Do you feel broken down, burned out, or trapped in a cycle of self-sabotage? Perhaps you yearn for greater purpose and meaning in your life, yet struggle to find it. I am a depth-oriented and psychodynamic therapist dedicated to helping my clients grow, heal from trauma, and reclaim their innate sense of vitality, creativity, and imagination.

Life is challenging enough without being hampered by painful or unpleasant thoughts, feelings or memories. I have been in private practice since 1990, helping people overcome the emotional obstacles that prevent them from living full and satisfying lives. These obstacles include: low self-esteem, difficulty relating to others, relationship problems, unresolved grief, immobilizing anxiety, unresolved issues from childhood, maladaptive ways of coping with stress etc.. I see adults only and do not do couple's therapy. When contacting me, please briefly state what you need help with, and, your insurance, if planning to use it.

My clients see life as a journey of learning, growth, and introspection. You have a spiritual practice or a personal relationship with spirit, land, the unseen world. Some may have had damaging experiences with religion or experienced their childhood religion as disempowering. Others may be having spiritual emergence or spiritual emergency including integrating spiritual practices or plant medicine journeys. Some just want to deepen their understanding of their spiritual experiences and want a supportive ear for psychic experiences.

I am interested in your story - where you have been and hope to go, what you have done and dream of doing, and who you are and have yet to become. My clients are often highly intuitive and high achieving adults, creatives in the art and entertainment industry, helpers, parentified adult children, entrepreneurs, executives, couples, Asian American professionals, and parents. Common issues include: relationship issues with loved ones, dissatisfaction with current life/direction, work/life balance stress, burnout, codependency, self-neglect, complex family dynamics, performance/creative blocks, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

As a post modern thinker, I believe that each person has the skills and strengths to create an affirmative narrative, that is not based on negative self-talk or unproductive messages. I like holding conversations that will spark curiosity and explore opportunities to author your new stories.

Therapy can be a dynamic, interactive process of deepening your connection with yourself and others, exploring your identity, and redefining your life’s purpose. I am committed to supporting people who have decided to look inward, which can be a fascinating, challenging, and rewarding ongoing experience. I work with individuals and couples as they navigate transitions, consider life choices, search for meaning, process relational trauma, and learn to communicate more deeply. Many of my clients identify as highly sensitive and/or are impacted by neurodiversity (ND individuals, ND/NT couples, and parents of ND kids/teens).

I have helped countless people grow, heal emotional wounds, improve their relationships, and overcome anxiety, depression, sadness, and anger. I have had the privilege of engaging in work that has helped individuals, couples and families, who are struggling with various interpersonal challenges, to make choices that will support increased self-confidence, as well as fortify healthier, fulfilling relationships.

When life feels out of balance, it's easy to become overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, anger. If you are involved in a difficult relationship, feeling stuck, or need support in navigating your challenges, please know that there is hope. By overcoming obstacles and resolving distressing issues, we can calm your anxiety, alleviate depression, and deepen your self-awareness. With your goals in mind, I work to heal old and existing wounds, and to make positive differences in your relationships, your career, and your ability to communicate in healthy, productive ways.

You’ve been holding it together for a long time. No one notices you’re barely treading water. You dread checking your work email (which you do every 5 minutes) to find another insensitive demand from your boss. Finding a meaningful, supportive relationship feels like a pipe dream at this point. You’ve done everything ‘right’ in your life but have found yourself deeply unhappy with your job, your career path, your relationship options...You feel trapped. You just want some space for yourself to breathe, to think, to not be weighed down by the pressure of everyone else’s expectations of you.

I work with clients who are struggling with repeated unhealthy relationship dynamics, history of trauma (sexual, emotional and physical), currently in a life transition (break-up or existential crisis), fear of failure, living with an immense about of guilt/shame and intimacy issues especially with men. These are big problems to tackle on your own. Together, we will increase compassion for yourself, make clear of your wants/needs, remove barriers to achieving your wants/needs and live the life that makes you feel good.
