Anxiety Therapists in 90066

I deeply believe in the healing process and an individual's innate capacity for transformation. With over a decade of experience working as a clinical therapist, I believe it's not about working harder but working smarter. Our primary goal is to identify the blocks (namely old patterns/habits, limiting beliefs, patterns of avoidance, etc.) that interfere with your brain and body's natural state of well-being. This can show up as addictions, chronic pain, anxiety, or depression. Whatever you're struggling with right now, your system desires its natural state of equilibrium and will guide us towards healing.

My approach to therapy encompasses warmth, humor, empathy and effective strategies to help you work through barriers that cause you to feel stuck, unfulfilled and disconnected. Our work together will help you generate more insight into your thoughts, feelings and behaviors in order to understand and work through the unconscious processes that are getting in your way. Cultivating a healthy relationship with yourself is the most rewarding investment you can make and I am committed to creating an environment where you feel inspired to make meaningful change.
