Grief Therapists in Culver City, CA
When we battle consistent feelings of emotional pain all alone, a very heavy inescapable sense of hopelessness can take over. In this isolation with the world feeling so far outside of us, the idea of feeling better becomes impossible to grasp. I believe the human sense of hope is linked to our overall sense of health. With over 30 years of experience working as a medical doctor, I became overwhelmed with how many patients came to me in this state, and how closely linked emotional and physical pain really are. This is what led me to pursue a post-doctorate in psychoanalysis, so as to integrate the mind and body in my work.

I strive to create a dynamic with my clients where we work together to discover more assertive and grounded approaches to current challenges. One proven approach to accomplishing this is getting more informed and connected with the role of emotions. “Emotions are a horrible master, but a great servant.” Part of my goal is to help clients discover the benefits when emotions truly become servants. The root word of emotions means “to move.” It turns out emotions actually move us toward our identity and goals. With this in mind, I equip my clients with ways to navigate their journey with integrity and connection with self and others.

It is my experience after practicing over 24 years that it is not so much what you think that is important rather it is how you feel. We are motivated by our feelings. A thought is usually not sufficient to initiate lasting change unless it is connected to a feeling. Psychotherapy is usually sought when the individual is in crisis and feels overwhelmed. When an individual is overwhelmed it is like being overloaded with more hurt then can be lived with. The therapist is a catalyst to help the individual integrate their feelings and thoughts and to live in the present.
