Anxiety Therapists in 90402
I have 20 years experience helping individuals, couples and groups find deeper meaning, satisfaction and inspiration in their unique experience of life. Individuals are often led to therapy by symptoms - anxiety, depression, panic attacks, failed relationships, compulsions and addictions, phobias, post-traumatic reactions and self-destructive behavior. Although symptoms can seem random and be destructive, they are important messengers guiding us toward introspection and growth. In psychotherapy we discover what lies beneath the surface of symptoms; we uncover that which has previously been unconscious.

I’m experienced in helping individuals and couples manage depression, anxiety, eating disorders, life-transitions, self-esteem, sexual intimacy, grief, aging, trauma, anger, and gender identity.
Being human is exciting and beautiful... and challenging! My work is grounded in respect and empathy for how individuals, couples, and families pave a path in life. Together we make change possible by bringing your unique, personal knowledge and experience into awareness, and then moving through the stuckness of painful trauma, unkind thoughts, or feelings of powerlessness before problems. Together we will work to reconnect you to the whole experience of being human: feeling emotions, attuning to thoughts and beliefs, creating healthy relationships, and recognizing your whole life story in its complexity of joy, sorrow, and growth.

Are you noticing patterns in your feelings or relationships that you want to change? You might be able to pinpoint some past experiences that are influencing life today, or maybe you just know something is “off.”. You’re noticing the same arguments with your partner or the same feelings of anxiety or depression crop up, even though you’ve tried to change them on your own. You feel like you bend over backwards for others at home or work, sometimes at the expense of your own wants and needs. You want to get back to a place of connection and confidence in life and experience the freedom and peace that’s missing right now.

Are you struggling with headaches, muscle tension and fatigue? Do you worry about making decisions, have a hard time trusting yourself and end up shutting down or freezing?

Individuals, couples, and families deserve the right to overcome life's challenges. The strongest can get bogged down by sadness, worry, stress, or difficulties in close relationships. Moreover, even the best couples can find themselves stuck in patterns of poor communication often resulting in feelings of isolation despite the strong desire for closeness. Lastly, the family is one of the most important environments that shape our lives. Yet, unexpected events can derail individual and family relationships and development. My goal is to help you tap into the courage and strength you posses and move from distress to empowerment.
