Emotionally Focused Therapists in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, CA
When Life feels overwhelming or unsettling, we often need someone who can consider our situation with more objectivity than we possess. I have been a psychologist for over 20 years and believe in the power of therapy to (1) help us navigate challenging times and (2) learn new strategies that help us reach our potential. I begin every first session with the same opening: "Tell me why you're here and how I could help." Then I ask the clients to tell me their stories. I love listening to people's stories because our stories remind us of where we have been and give us a context for the current and future chapters of our lives.

Welcome. I foster a safe space to explore areas of self-identity, self-esteem and other existential matters. With an empathetic and caring approach, I support clients experiencing grief, anxiety or depression. I also work with clients looking to heal trauma wounds, kick an addiction, navigate difficult relationships and codependency, or overcome challenging life events. I enjoy working with first-time dads, providing a space for dads to navigate this significant life transition. What's bringing you, or as a couple, to therapy is unique as is the journey we'll take to reach your therapeutic goals.

You feel pain in many ways: worry, shame, anger, confusion, and sadness. Your past taught you how to respond to these feelings, but problems arise when these responses no longer work. Our first goal in therapy is to understand why you feel and act the way you do. Awareness doesn’t bring change; it brings choice. I focus on emotions because they communicate what we can’t yet speak. Listening to our emotions gives us the power to help ourselves. When you understand yourself, you can make better choices to get what you need. Please see my videos on emotions, vimeo.com/392071078 or motivation, vimeo.com/389807247.

To quote Darcie Wilder, "literally show me a healthy person." In a world overflowing with trauma and injustice, relationships (to others and ourselves) are understandably challenging. I invite you to make a little room in your week to tend to your emotional wellbeing. My hope is to offer non-judgemental support as we deconstruct the stories that are no longer serving you. I particularly enjoy working with individuals and couples who are open to questioning what it means to be normal, successful, beautiful, and yes, even healthy.

If you’re tired of the story you’re telling yourself, let’s find another one together. I love to help redefine old narratives that may have been holding you back, and I am grateful to help write a brand new story of you. Sometimes, we can tell ourselves scary stories about the future and replay the painful traumas of our past. Together, we can look at your stories and see their strengths and their challenges and how you can build a new narrative for your life. I like to help clients find their true North Star to guide them to a new meaning and purpose.

I know this process can feel really daunting; you’re literally trying to find a stranger on the internet to talk to about your most vulnerable thoughts and feelings.

I will help you get to the root of your unhelpful thought, behavior and/or relationship patterns, assist you in uncovering and resolving core wounds and support you in transforming limiting beliefs that are holding you back from living your most balanced and authentic life.

Having a transgender or gender nonbinary child is a wonderful gift, but it comes with a unique journey for both child and parent. Support is not only essential, but a gem of the journey! Possibly your child has expressed feeling that they are another gender and you are unsure about what to do next. Maybe your child is already living as their authentic gender, but they are showing signs of insecurity or distress around their body. Or possibly, puberty is approaching, and your child’s doctor has recommended therapy as they prepare for puberty suppression. I seek to provide guidance and support through stretches such as these.

I am passionate about working with Asian American children of immigrants with anxiety and childhood trauma. You may have been scared to come home and tell your parents you got an A- in the class.
