Therapists in Westwood, Los Angeles, CA

Your life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at times, whether it’s navigating relationships, managing stress, or overcoming past traumas. Embarking on therapy can be daunting, especially when feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and uncertainty. Many of the clients I work with feel successful and high functioning in many aspects of their lives but find themselves struggling in others.

Life can present many challenges. Most of the time, we can successfully handle the trials and tribulations of daily living; but occasionally we get overwhelmed. To help cope and feel much better, we consult a professional who sorts and sheds light on the elements that caused these challenges. In the process, we talk about how we feel and why we feel the way we do. Most importantly, we learn to successfully handle the initiating emotional triggers in a way such that the resultant problems no longer arise. My Los Angeles therapy practice is dediated to being that caring professional.
