You are many things to the people in your life. You are a spouse/partner, parent, child, friend, and working professional. Who are you to yourself? Are you your harshest critic? You don’t have to be. You don’t have to be anxious, worried, unhappy, sad, depressed, lonely, or overwhelmed. You can take time for yourself without guilt. You don’t have to suffer alone and you can grow into the person you were meant to be. Let’s get to the truth of who you are and what you want in a professional, safe, and supportive environment.

Being a human is hard! Managing relationships (familial, romantic, platonic, professional) with all kinds of different personalities, feeling comfortable and confident in our careers, finding healthy and lasting love, and feeling good about ourselves through it all can feel like an impossible task. We were never given a manual on how to do this! And while, as humans, we are incredibly resilient and have somehow found a way to get this far, some of the coping mechanisms we have developed throughout our lives may not be serving us anymore. I help clients gain insight into their thoughts & behaviors to help improve their outcomes.

You deserve the support you need. When we are struggling with anxiety, PTSD, personal or relationship transitions, life can feel especially difficult. Experiences of trauma, changes in our identity and relationships, legal or learning challenges can sometimes be overwhelming--even long after they happen. Often, beliefs that once provided guidance or comfort change, leaving us feel even more lost at sea. Yet deep within, we all have access to a feeling of our aliveness that can help us navigate these rough spots. Our work offers you safety and caring to bolster your strengths, recover your joy, and find your inner knowing once again.

If you or a loved one is experiencing anxiety, unhappiness, relationship difficulties or are feeling stuck in your personal or professional life, therapy can help. Through our work together, you will gain insight into maladaptive patterns and actively work to address them to reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life. Many life experiences can be accompanied by emotional distress that can feel overwhelming, so my style is to work collaboratively with you by fostering an open and safe space that will empower you or your child to observe, explore, and adapt to find balance in life.

I came to the practice of psychotherapy because I believe life's crises, however painful, also provide opportunities for profound change and growth. Therapy should be a safe space for patients to assess what is meaningful and what has been outgrown, what has been lost and what can be gained by working through that loss. Many of my clients work (or play) in the arts; many are trauma survivors. I run a weekly trauma group for women with PTSD. I am an empty nester and particularly interested in women dealing the changes that come with aging - women facing the "third act" of their lives.

Do you feel like you haven't reached your full potential yet? Are you struggling with feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, or unhappiness? Do you find yourself comparing how you feel to how it appears others are doing? I am here to be with you in the pain and challenges that life can bring. Together, we will find ways to help you feel better. I take a holistic approach to healing, utilizing more than just talk therapy to get you where you want to be. From somatic work to parts work, let's figure this out together. I offer both in person (West LA) and virtual sessions, and I have limited openings for new clients.

My passion is in helping my clients see themselves as innately whole, healthy, and resilient. I work in partnership with my clients to identify their goals and together we collaborate to work toward these goals. I am an EMDR certified therapist and I provide IFS-informed EMDR therapy in addition to other talk therapy modalities.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples overcome struggles with anxiety and depression. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and received my Master of Arts Degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University.

Are you seeking to gain clarity and stability during life transitions? Do you want support as you navigate difficult life circumstances? Are you struggling to develop and maintain healthy relationships? While it may seem vulnerable, daunting, and liberating to share your personal journey, you do not have to experience your challenges alone. I strive to support my clients and help them find the courage to discover and be their most authentic selves.

Life is filled with challenges that can sometimes feel like too much for any one person to manage on their own. If you’re struggling with rumination, anxiety or overwhelming sadness, you may also be feeling alone with it. I’m here to walk along side you and provide a safe place to explore what is underneath. Together we will work towards reaching your goals. My passion is helping others maximize their strengths, enhance their well-being, and learn tools for coping with life's challenges.

Welcome! I am a LCSW psychotherapist and pain coach specializing in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), Emotional Expression and Awareness Therapy (EAET) and trauma-informed work. My mission is to guide clients towards emotional, psychological and physical pain relief.

I work from a depth perspective which means that therapy is about exploring the root causes of behavior, often making way for true understanding and significant, long-lasting change. I see individuals, couples, and families dealing with big life transitions, trauma, anxiety, and intimacy issues.

Your relationship with your therapist is like no other relationship. My focus is to help you get to the root cause of your struggles. I find that healthy relationships are the key to psychological, physical, and spiritual health. I provide awareness into your behaviors, and the ability to see the underlying issues of why you're unsatisfied with your life. If you're having difficulty regulating your emotions when it comes to romantic relationships, or feel that you find yourself in the same relationship again and again, then you have come to the right place. I will help you get to the core of these issues

I specialize in working with individuals, families, and couples affected by substance abuse and co-occuring disorders. The effects of substance abuse and addiction can be devastating to individuals and their loved ones, and my goal is to help you navigate through the confusion and pain in order to establish a more fulfilling life. I have years of experience working with a diverse array of clients in residential treatment settings and bring a wealth of knowledge about the most effective treatment modalities to my private practice.

Many times, it can feel like our emotions are attacking us and we don't know where the threat is coming from. You keep trying to put out this fire, running from spot to spot. That's where I come in, to help you understand what your emotions are communicating. Through collaboration you will better understand and identify how to manage your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. This will allow you to nurture and grow what matters most to you.

What is often left unsaid is your step to a better life, so let's start talking. It's possible you are struggling to find or maintain healthy relationships, or when you do- find yourself unfulfilled, lonely, or involved in a difficult breakup. Suddenly, feelings of sadness and anxiety are keeping you from being you. It’s hard to know where things keep going wrong and how to move forward with feelings of sadness and anxiety- until now.
