Anxiety Therapists in Burbank, CA

While many people come to me feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and defeated, seeking therapy for oneself is actually a sign of strength. It takes a lot to recognize a need for change and to take steps to follow through. In my practice I provide a comfortable, supportive atmosphere to explore alternative ways of living and coping with problems so that life can be more fulfilling and enjoyable. The opportunity to see individuals and families grow and feel better through the therapeutic process is the reason I love my work so much. In addition to providing therapy, I also conduct ADHD screenings and Bariatric surgery screenings.

Stress, self-consciousness, sadness, fear: they're part of being human. But if feelings like these are becoming so overwhelming that they're affecting your well-being, I can be a supportive ally on your way toward healing and balance. In working with clients facing anxiety or panic, traumatic experiences, depression, body image issues, or creative or relationship struggles, I provide insight, tools, and support. We'll explore your core beliefs, improve communication, boost your self-compassion, figure out what's holding you back, and brainstorm strategies.

Therapy gives us an opportunity to find and give voice to our authentic selves, achieving healing in the process. And as we heal, our relationships heal. I am passionate about working with couples, adults, and teens who have become stuck in unsatisfying relationships, destructive patterns, or their own individual pain. This "stuck-ness" can leave us feeling alone, misunderstood, anxious, and depressed. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space that is caring, challenging, and encouraging as we work together to develop new insights and create the personal and relational growth you are seeking.

Will I ever catch up? Will I ever be good enough? Am I lovable at all? Sorting out life's struggles puts you in a place of fear, self-doubt, shame and isolation. You are not alone. I want to help you get unstuck. Empathy and compassion help to loosen the grip against self-criticism. Collaboratively we will discover and make meaning of the origin of these fears.

Are you having trouble with difficult people in your life? Do you want to rediscover yourself and your life's purpose? Are you looking for specific strategies to live a more balanced and fulfilling life? I can help. Together we'll explore your self-defeating behaviors, irrational thoughts and family dynamics. We will also concentrate on what makes you unique, resilient and hopeful. My approach to therapy is creative, lively and experiential. The awareness that will come with this journey of discovery, coupled with a genuine therapeutic relationship between us, will lead to long-term growth and healing.

Perhaps you are down, stressed, struggling with triggers from traumatic memories, unsure about the future of a relationship, trying to adjust to a new chapter of your life, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to live. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer the support you need in a safe and non-judgmental manner. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging the adoption of new perspectives and reactions.

You never imagined starting a family would be this way. You're overwhelmed, tired, and the loneliness is unbearable. Pregnancy, miscarriage, and becoming a new parent can leave you (or your partner) feeling depressed, anxious, and hopeless. Many women who are pregnant or a new parent suffer in silence; feeling like they can't tell anyone about what they're going though. Anxiety and depression do not have to control your life. I'm here to help and give you the tools you need to survive.

At the Rowan Center for Behavioral Medicine, we help people reach their full potential by transforming their healthcare experience.

In addition, we specialize in health and rehabilitation psychology, providing assistance to patients with medical illnesses and disabilities and sensorimotor psychotherapy, providing trauma-informed, somatic, “body-based” therapy.

Are you or someone you love struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, career pressures, or emotional blocks? Navigating the roller coaster ride of life can be a challenge. Having the right tools can be transformative, and therapy is a wonderful way to practice self care, and learn those tools. As a CA licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping highly creative professionals ( writers, directors, producers, animators, musicians, comedians, and performers in Film, TV and New Media) reduce stress, transcend limiting beliefs, and bring about positive change in their life and relationships.

Are you ready for a change but not sure where to start? I meet my clients where they are and my goal is to cultivate hope and motivation for change. I approach sessions with a "come-as-you-are" mentality and we'll work together to make real progress towards your best self.

Sick of feeling triggered all the time? Need support knowing how to handle difficult situations and relationships that are complex? Do you want to feel better more of the time? More ALIVE? Ready to do the work it takes to heal and learn how to deal with life well? I help people organize their minds and emotions, and to get out of depression and anxiety. I will teach you how to slow down, ground your body, release stuck trauma stress and learn new coping mechanisms such as how to set healthy boundaries. I am the right fit for you if you’re sick of struggling. Let's work at your pace and make a unique plan to help you get unstuck.

Do you beat yourself up a lot? Even though you try your best and give your all, do you still feel not good enough, like an impostor? I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, isolation, communication, identity, family, and low self-esteem.

Do you tend to overthink & feel preoccupied with worry? Have days when you feel emotionally exhausted or lack energy to follow through? Do you feel disconnected from your body? You might be interested in learning how therapy & yoga work together to bring relief from your daily stressors. Talk therapy is useful to bring awareness and make meaningful connections between the past the present. Yoga is an embodied approach allowing you to discover more about how stress impacts your body. When combined together, you can learn skills to help take control of your thoughts & experience a sense of calm in your mind & body.

Depression, anxiety, loss, and change can leave us feeling disconnected, confused. It seems to me that we're all trying to be connected in ways that support our intentions and goals. Sometimes those connections - to our Self, our partners, our family and friends - get muddy or lost. I see therapy as a safe place to explore unfamiliar, at times uncomfortable, territory in order to reach for greater understanding and connection to Self and others. My approach is humanistic/existential with an emphasis on depth and transpersonal psychology.

Therapy for COMEDIANS dealing with anxiety and depression. Being a comedian isn't easy. While your friends are getting married, having children and buying mansions back home, you’re schlepping yourself to open mic nights and chasing your dream, well at least before the pandemic. You’re emotionally vulnerable on stage and worry about going viral for the wrong reasons. It’s hard to share these fears with others. Comics get it but they’re too busy doing shtick rather than listening to you. And if you’re a female comic, it's worse because you’re mostly surrounded by male comics and battling lame societal stereotypes. I can help.

Struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety and trauma is difficult. The desire to have sustainable coping is there, but you need support. You wish to cope better, to feel emotionally free from obsessions and compulsions. You would like to increase self-compassion and joyfulness. You may not be sure if you have disordered eating but you've developed disrupted relationships to food and your body. If you have a willingness to consider new perspectives and to receive active support, to collaborate, and take small positive actions, let's get started on your healing and recovery.

To change or not to change? One of the most frustratingly human experiences in life is wanting to change for the better only to find yourself repeating the same ineffective patterns and mistakes.
