Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I am passionate about providing affirmative therapy that honors and celebrates the richness of each individual's identity and experience. Whether you're exploring your gender, seeking support during transition, struggling with relationships, or simply want to become your most authentic self, I am here to help guide you on your path. I use a collaborative approach to therapy, working alongside clients to uncover personal insights and develop strategies for overcoming challenges. I focus on fostering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and developing strong support networks outside of the therapy office.

Navigating challenges around sex involves more than what happens between the sheets. Sex is a topic that is often met with secrecy, embarrassment, or shame and is shaped by cultural norms and societal expectations. These influences can impact our perception of what's deemed acceptable or “normal”. When issues arise, the fear of judgment often keeps us silent, trapped in a state of quiet desperation rather than seeking help. I am committed to creating a secure and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their sexuality, reshape it according to their desires, and affirm their true selves.

When was the last time you felt intimately connected in your life? Sometimes stressors in our relationships, careers, personal histories, and more can get in the way. Together we can explore and process the obstacles limiting your ability to let go and enjoy life. We will challenge any anxiety, sadness, guilt, and negative beliefs that disempower you from showing up as your authentic self.

Do you experience painful sex, anxiety, struggle with starting or keeping an erection, and ejaculating sooner than you want? Perhaps you have a partner and you are anxious about how to communicate your true feelings or concerns about sex and intimacy. Being authentically you and communicating how you feel can be a real struggle. If this resonates with you, then know that you are not alone. Also, know that your fears are valid; it can feel painful to be rejected, not heard, not seen, and not fulfilled. These struggles are not a reflection of you as a person. They are a sign that there is an area that needs attention and support.
