Teletherapy for Los Angeles, CA

You feel broken and unlovable. You feel disconnected from yourself and your life. You have past experiences that you try to forget and you tell yourself that the past does not affect you- but that's not the truth. The truth is, you feel deep pain, hurt, and maybe shame and you are tired of pretending that you're fine. You just wake up and go through the same motions over and over again. Maybe things look great on the outside but on the inside you are struggling to feel anything or you are feeling everything all at once. Let me help you. I will guide you and support you as you process the past so that you can enjoy the present.

Accepting new Clients! You are finally ready to start therapy again and try something new. You have struggled to find a Therapist that you feel understands you and you place a lot of value on your mental health. You struggle with how you feel about yourself and feeling good in your relationships. You find yourself in a lot of one sided relationships and can't understand why. You've been in treatment before and are ready to continue working on yourself. Your friends don't seem to always understand and want you to desperately "move on". You often think the problem is you. But it isn't.

Have you been feeling unsure about yourself? Does something feel off and you can't put your finger on it? I cater to African American millennial women struggling with mother wounds that have led to anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and life transitions. Let's awaken your natural feminine strength, embrace womanhood, and express your inner truths. Are you a worried parent whose child been withdrawn, irritable and you believe they need more help?

As an inclusive and affirming clinician, I partner with clients to identify strengths and address barriers to achieving their goals and develop a path towards healing and overall wellness. I work with individuals and couples of every gender expression and sexual orientation who are dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, and stress. I am passionate about social justice and incorporate an anti-oppression and PIC abolitionist lens into my work, particularly in supporting Black, Indigenous, & people of color and LGBTQIA+ folks with issues of identity, racial trauma, difficult life transitions, parenting, and interpersonal struggles.

Do you feel overwhelmed by relationship issues, people-pleasing, emotional responses, or planned or unexpected change? Codependency, heightened sensitivity, life transitions, and trauma show up in many ways of life, and it looks different for everyone. Maybe you care deeply, but aren’t always in the most supportive environments, personally or professionally. You might question yourself often and might even feel like an imposter. Perhaps you are grounded, but this life transition is pulling the rug out beneath you. It’s hard to not take it personally and listen to those negative thoughts, anxiety further instills them.

Congratulations on taking the first steps toward a more manageable life! It is not easy to sift through the list of many fantastic and capable clinicians to find the one that feels right for you. My current and past clients shared that they reached out to me because they resonated with my specializations and personable website.

As a Black woman who is often seen as "having it all together," it may be challenging to admit that you are having a difficult time. You may automatically say that you are "good" or "well" when people ask how you are doing but know deep down that this is a mask of how you are really feeling. Recognizing and admitting to yourself about the mask is the first courageous step to getting support. Even though many of us have been told to not let our guard down by showing others that we do not have it all together or that only "crazy" people who do not look like us go for therapy (not true!), you know what you need for yourself.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a core part of engaging in healthy life changes. Change is very difficult for most people and sometimes all it takes is to talk about your struggles and have someone to listen and try to understand. My belief is that the therapy relationship can help the healing process no matter what it is you are dealing with. The first step towards having a happy life is a healthy mind.

BIPOC - Have you experienced loss or adjusting to change? Life comes with loss and change: the death of a loved one, the loss of health, a break-up. Dealing with any loss and adjusting to major change often negatively affects us, and our emotional well-being and coping habits are sometimes compromised as a result. It is easy to fall into depression or develop anxiety if our coping is not managed and nurtured appropriately. I’m glad you are taking steps to process what change or loss means to you. As an Asian American Filipina, I provide culturally competent therapy services to those managing dual/multi cultural/BIPOC identities.

Is your anger causing problems in your life? Then you should try my Anger Management Classes this month. The deadline has been extended. This class will help you to manage your anger, so it no longer affects your relationships, loved ones, or work. Grief and Loss can leave you with many unanswered questions and feeling like no one understands. Maybe you’re having flashbacks or nightmares from past trauma. You may be easily triggered and can’t get certain memories out of your head. Together through therapy, we'll work on finding healthy ways to manage anger, honoring your journey through grief and loss, and unpacking trauma gently.

I currently offer only Telehealth if you reside in CA and GA, and can compassionately meet you where you are at by providing a safe and supportive space. Many come to therapy to learn new ways to manage anxiety, depression, stress, or find ways to create fulfillment and connection in life again. Together we can explore ineffective patterns, and work on strengthening coping , communication, problem solving skills, self compassion, as well as ways to deepen relationships for lasting change.

We all tell ourselves a story about who we are, where we come from, and what we believe. Understanding our story unleashes the power to influence it in new and constructive ways. What’s your story? I use thought-provoking questions and empowering perspectives to gently guide my clients through the process of exploring and understanding how they tell their story. With over 22 years in the field of mental health and wellness, I apply a customized and collaborative approach, to help individuals and couples navigate transitions, resolve internal/external conflicts, and restore balance.

If you have been in long term talk therapy and have not gotten the results you want, you've come to the right therapist! I specialize in EMDR and IFS therapy. This way of working gets to your issues on a deep level and clears out years of irrational beliefs that keep you from being who you want to be.

Are you overwhelmed with life's challenges and ready for a change? My passion lies in helping people heal from eating disorders, body image issues, trauma, depression and anxiety. I am also passionate about working with teenagers as they navigate the often tumultuous journey of adolescence. I recognize the need for concrete evidence-based tools to help my clients confront difficult emotions and the myriad stressors that life throws their way. I work from a trauma informed perspective and strive to see each client as the unique individual they are.

Seeking help shows how strong you already are. Your story, experiences, struggles, pain, and resiliency are welcome here. Psychotherapy is a collaborative and relational process. My goal is to highlight your potential and strengths. Together we can find ways to honor your journey and encourage growth. I specialize in working with individuals navigating chronic illness, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, perinatal mental health, and parenting stressors.

Your story, as a young adult or growing adult, matters. Your story is personal and holds your truth. As your Asian-American Therapist specializing in working with adults & teens, I am here to give you the voice you deserve. Your worth and happiness lies beyond fear and confusion. As a teen or an adult, your fears may cause you to feel judged, excluded, or hurt - closing you off from the world. I guide you to a place where you are seen and understood, so you can feel accepted and loved. Together, we can challenge those harmful thought patterns and help you truly feel good about yourself and your life.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Does it feel like you keep getting caught in the same fight? Do you love your partner but feel disheartened and disconnected due to conflict? The longing you have for deep connection and closeness is a basic human need. Are you experiencing any kind of issue with sexual functioning? Pain with sex is common, yet commonly misunderstood. Chances are, you want to feel seen, heard, and believed in your experience with pelvic pain and maybe your support system doesn’t quite understand. You may have great medical support, but mind-body integration is critical for lasting pain relief.

Compared to many other psychologists, my therapy style may be more goal oriented, assertive, and with a stronger focus on observing and measuring therapeutic progress over longer term emotional processing. My approach is based on my belief that we do have the power to create healthy emotions & dismantle unwanted emotions. When meeting with you, I'll want to understand how your ongoing circumstances, emotions, behaviors, or thoughts impact the short term as well as the overall outcomes in your life. I base my treatment on evidenced-based inventions, eastern & wellness perspectives, and a conscious awareness approach.

The mask we wear covers how lonely we really feel. Are you going through the motions, when all you feel is lost, depressed, scared, and drained? Are you having trouble speaking up for yourself in relationships or struggling with boundaries at home or at work? Do you hold it all in, constantly frustrated? Is it hard to make life transitions right now? Are you crying in the car on the way to work while still telling everyone you are fine? Being the “strong one” is so tiring. It silences us. Let’s find your voice. You deserve a place to cry, vent, find your footing, and emerge your best self. I would be honored to help you do that.
