Anxiety Therapists in Hollywood, CA

I do my best to keep an open mind and to create an environment that is conducive to fostering open communication and trust. I respect and value the thoughts and feelings of my client's. I believe that therapy is, ultimately, about freedom and that healing occurs through the process of self-exploration, understanding, finding meaning and deepening one's insight. I tend to work directly and dynamically, rather than passively; I do a lot of listening and I am also active in the therapeutic role.

Do you long for a fuller, happier, or more creative life? Have you worked with other therapists and made little progress with your anxiety or depression? Are you having difficulty communicating and connecting in your romantic or family relationships? Have you been diagnosed with bipolar disorder or experienced psychosis? Are you just feeling stuck in your life? Do you imagine that you could benefit from a supportive and confidential therapeutic relationship?

Are you stuck? Are you worried that you're crazy? Have you given up the things you love doing? Have you lost touch with your purpose in life? Sometimes we all feel and think this way, but if you are living in pain then I would like to help you. If we work together I will help you discover your joy, your purpose, and the authentic, powerful, courageous, and resourceful person I know you to be. So if you need help to discover or rediscover your true self, then give me a call and we will begin our work together.

Most people I work with want similar things: to acquire insight into their lives, to identify the barriers that are holding them back and to develop the ability for change. My experience and training is in insight-oriented, relational psychotherapy and executive/career coaching. Whether you are grappling with anxiety, depression, past traumas, relationship problems, life transitions or finding a place in a culture that is not welcoming to you, I create a safe, confidential environment to explore the issues you are struggling with.

I specialize in Asian, African, Latinx, and other collectivistic cultures. College students offered a lower fee! I have a distinctive, deeply empathetic approach to therapy. My practice blends psychodynamic and CBT methods to address anxiety, depression, codependency, and narcissism, with a genuine understanding of cultural complexities. Whether you’re seeking support for individual struggles, couples issues, or LGBTQ+ experiences, real connections make a real difference. Reach out today to begin making lasting changes in your life. Prioritizing your mental health is choosing a better you.

People come to my office with a variety of concerns related to relationships, identity, spirituality, career, self-development, or life purpose. Others may be seeking relief from trauma response patterns, anxiety or depression. In a rapidly changing and tumultuous world, people often feel comforted by the presence of a therapist who can provide a safe enough space to understand themselves, resolve conflicts, and live with more coherence and freedom from unfulfilling relational patterns. I listen with an intuitive and compassionate heart and give you tools to navigate through stressful times with greater resiliency and embodiment.

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.

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.

If you feel stuck by your past, if you worry about the future, if you second guess what steps to take in the present, help is available. Through a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship, it is possible to achieve a greater sense of emotional well-being, increased self-awareness, better intimate relationships and a more resilient state of emotional health. Using a modern and mindful approach to therapy, issues related to panic attacks, addictions, anxiety, depression and dysfunctional relationships are processed from a supportive, strengths-based position that helps facilitate insight and change.

Establishing a meaningful therapeutic connection is the foundation for learning how to improve one's quality of life, develop healthy relationships and cope more effectively with life stressors. Through the therapeutic relationship, I work together with my clients to address and resolve various psychological symptoms and underlying concerns to help them lead healthier lives. I specialize in treating individuals who may be having difficulty coping with present life problems or trying to manage living with the impact of traumatic experiences. I believe that developing healthy coping skills and processing underlying issues leads to a relief in symptoms and an ability to re-engage in life.

I offer secure video/phone individual and couples therapy sessions. It is my belief that therapy is a two-way street. You get out of it what you put into it. If you apply yourself and your efforts are sincere, your chances of success and improvement are far greater. I view myself as a facilitator, at times, as a therapist. A conduit between you and your truths. And at times I see my role as being more assertive and providing guidance when need be. I also understand the need, at times, to provide my clients with more specific answers to questions that they might have regarding their mental health concerns.

People often reach out to me because they are feeling stuck, either they have not progressed in therapy or they are looking for something more. If you are going through a difficult time, therapy can offer support, help you overcome obstacles and provide guidance to change your life for the better. I believe that within every individual lies the potential to live a happy, full life. I can help you align your actions with your values. I do what I do because I believe that the therapeutic process can bring about greater self-awareness and authentic, lasting change.

The therapeutic process is about becoming most fully ourselves. The more we come to know ourselves in an authentic and true way, the more fulfilling our lives and our relationships become. Change occurs when there is a new understanding, not just in our intellectual mind, but in our bodies and spirits as well. This kind of work, though difficult, and sometimes painful, is also deeply rewarding. It can also seem like a scary idea to some, not knowing if making lasting change is even possible.

Are you looking for a more fulfilling life? In my life coaching and therapy sessions, I am here to guide you to connect with your values, and to experience joy in your life (again). We can focus on topics such as relationships, anxiety, career, depression, ADHD, and Autism. Through convenient Zoom sessions, I create an environment, so you can be yourself, get insight, and gain tools. As an empathic person and mother, I will bring my authentic self and compassion for people to sessions.

In my practice, the therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of healing. I believe that genuine connection, trust, and collaboration between therapist and client create the ideal conditions for growth and transformation. Our therapeutic alliance will serve as a safe and supportive space where you can explore your deepest thoughts, emotions, and experiences.

Speak your heart, live your truth! Are you feeling overwhelmed with the direction of your life? Is your job not emotionally or financially satisfying? Do you find yourself having difficult, short-lived relationships, or worse - none at all? Is depression and/or anxiety wearing you down? It is my experience that our difficulties and problems are primarily determined by reactions to how we think and feel. I can help you understand how your thoughts and feelings prevent you from getting what you want, and then help you find ways of creating more success in the areas you desire to change.

Hello and welcome. So let's start by dispelling the common misconception that therapy is for the weak and broken. This could not be more untrue. Therapy is for the bold and intrepid. Therapy is for those who are unwilling to accept how things are and choose instead to brave the roads less traveled in search of something better. So whether your dissatisfaction lies in patterns that you can't seem to break free of, turbulent relationships with partners, family or friends, or in the daunting challenges posed by depression, anxiety, grief et al., your insistence for change not only should never be shamed, it should be deeply admired.

Let's face it: Our world is incredibly chaotic right now. Our inability to control the circumstances can feel overwhelming at times. The good news is that when chaos arises, the opportunity for reflection and change becomes more urgent. My priority is to understand how your symptoms of anxiety and low self-esteem are affecting your relationships and overall sense of self. Once established, we can peel back the layers one by one and create some movement in your life and in your relationships.

Are you living a healthy and satisfied life? We sometimes get stuck in the same patterns that may result in poor decision-making, painful feelings, depressed mood, anxious mood, or unhealthy relationships. There are things you can do to gain self-awareness about your behavior and make positive changes. I can assist you as you take steps towards improving your relationship with others or make changes that may promote a more satisfying life. It is time to move towards your full potential and I can help you. Call me.
