Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s constant demands, struggling with self-criticism, or seeking more peace and joy in your everyday life? Maybe you’re a young adult navigating life transitions, a parent worried about your child’s emotional wellbeing, or someone trying to heal from past hurt while building self-compassion. You want a space where you can take a well-deserved break from your busy life, where your unique experiences are honored, and where you can build on your strengths to move forward with hope and confidence.
Together, we will create a warm, collaborative space focusing on your story. Using a blend of approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and mindfulness, we will uncover patterns, build acceptance, and find practical ways to live a more fulfilling life.
I understand how hard reaching out can be, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Email me for a free 15-minute consultation so we can explore if we’re a good fit. I offer in-person therapy in Santa Monica, CA and teletherapy across California. Let’s start this journey—together.
