During challenging times, a lot that we've taken for granted - health, finances, career, dating - may feel precarious, doomed even. I help people identify any "thinking" obstacles you may have, in order to push past limiting assumptions or sabotaging beliefs. In a therapeutic relationship, you and I work towards acceptance and empowered management of challenges, expanding your tools and freeing up space. Trained in Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Interpersonal Therapies (IPT) and IFS therapies, I also pull from traditional psychodynamic theory (including attachment) and mindfulness approaches to help facilitate your desired change.
You and I will collaborate on your identified areas of change. We will clarify goals and grow awareness of your own resources. I'll support your progress through any setbacks that arise. To be listened to without judgement... can be liberating from shame and self-doubt, reconnecting you to your own core values, strengths and dreams. Let's get started!
Wondering where to begin? It can feel intimidating to reach out to a new therapist. Just call or email for a free consult. Please note that I while I primarily work via telehealth (video or phone), I do have limited availability from my breezy office, a short stroll from Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade.) Be well!
