In Person Therapists in Glenwood, Glendale, CA

Have you found yourself not knowing how to navigate a situation and suffering because of that? Have you tried "everything," but are still feeling trapped and immersed in psych suffering, which can manifest itself as isolation, self-criticism, hopelessness, worry, fear, dissatisfaction, interpersonal conflicts, mood changes, dissociation from reality, a sense of being persecuted, and so on? Have you wondered whether some of the issues you have dealt with - for instance, being incapable of doing things or repeatedly making bad choices - might tell something about your subjective dilemmas? This is the moment to make analysis.

Are you grappling with life's challenges and seeking a safe space to explore your innermost thoughts and emotions? I specialize in working with individuals and couples across diverse life stages and backgrounds to offer support through struggles such as depression, anxiety, identity formation, and relationship issues.

Welcome! I am a bilingual therapist, and I'm here to help you understand your distress, find relief, and move toward a life that is meaningful to you. I specialize in working with anxiety and depressive disorders. I am also passionate about treating people with chronic or severe insomnia. My experience and training span a broad range of other issues, and I regularly support clients with those, as well. My approach is both structured and flexible; I will suggest specific approaches for some concerns and keep our path more open-ended for others. I will also look to you for any preferences you have about the form our sessions take.

*Accepting new clients. These are really tough times. Uncertainty and shifting social norms are taking a toll on our mental health. Have you been going through the motions only to find that now everything feels intolerable? Are you finding that what has worked in the past isn’t working any more? Do you feel like you just don’t care, or just feel disconnected? I can help. Let's get you to that place where you are enjoying yourself and others, even when life throws you challenges. I work with individuals and couples who want a safe place to get curious, be honest and explore old patterns that are keeping you stuck.

What is your vision for your life? My non-traditional, postmodern perspective results in a collaborative style of therapy designed to help you find the answer. Together, we will examine the contents of your life and determine which elements will be useful on your journey, and which should be discarded. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a certified Imago therapist, specializing in individual, pre-marital, couples and parenting issues. My practice, though centered on relationships, includes a wide range of clients whose needs vary from LGBTQ issues, grief, career anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I firmly believe that the journey toward healing and personal growth begins with compassion, understanding, and acknowledgment. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where the uncharted aspects of yourself, often hidden in the shadows, can be explored and brought into the light for healing and reintegration. My therapeutic expertise is centered around supporting individuals who are grappling with eating disorders, anxiety, and the lasting effects of trauma. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to explore these challenges.
