Sometimes life is too difficult to navigate on your own. Psychotherapy is one of the most powerful tools to bring healing and transformation to your life, and choosing to pursue it is brave. You might be seeking therapy to decrease anxiety or depression, heal from a trauma, improve your relationships, rid yourself of chronic pain, or navigate school with ADHD or a learning disability. You also might be seeking therapy on behalf of your child or your family. Regardless of what leads you to therapy, I understand the importance of finding a therapist that is the right fit.

You had imagined your life unfolding in this uniquely wonderful way; having a career that fulfilled you and you were excited about, a strong and committed relationship and a great group of friends who supported you and you share exciting experiences with. Now it feels like some areas are just ok and other seem to not be working at all. It also seems like others lives are going great when you look at social media. You feel stuck. Uncertain of the next move or even how to get back to a place of feeling confident and empowered.

Connecting with the right therapist can be challenging. As a clinician, I strive to empower clients to make meaningful changes, while also helping them hold self-compassion in the process. I ground my work in evidence-based therapies, and use an in-depth case conceptualization to understand how problems are getting in the way of the life my clients want to lead.

It takes a lot of courage to seek therapy. You're at a crossroads. Stuck. Perhaps you’re feeling lost- unsure of who you really are and what you want in life. Perhaps you’re seeking relief from anxiety, depression, or addiction. Maybe you’re tired of living with shame about your sexuality or relationship needs. Maybe you’ve noticed that you keep repeating the same unproductive patterns in relationships or at work. These are issues we can untangle and begin to understand in our work together.

Just as there is no single model of a person, there is no single model of a solution. I work with the whole person, not only the symptoms, but in a broader, more comprehensive fashion, developing self knowledge of our blind spots. These things that we do that bring us back to the same place, experiencing the same feelings and the depression, anxiety and fear that accompany these states. All we will work with is what you bring to the meetings. A dialogue for understanding and hopefully, change. This can be a long process, as many powerful things can be. It will also be rewarding and it will give you the insight to create your future.

Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Trauma can have negative emotional and physical effects and can lead to family/relationship issues. I specialize in solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

Sex Addiction & Parenting: Betrayal In Families
LCSW

Sawtelle, Los Angeles, CA 90064
Families are greatly impacted by betrayal, infidelity and sex addiction. As parents struggle to orient themselves to a new reality in the face of betrayal, it can be overwhelming and painful for a parent to recognize the immediate and future impact on their children. Well meaning parents can unintentionally make serious mistakes in managing the family during this painful and confusing time. You may have questions at this time such as “How is the tension in the household affecting our child?" and “Is our child internalizing emotional pain that we can't see?”

Welcome! Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. I believe therapy should be practical and actionable. My focus is on exploring the role your life experiences are playing in how you attach both to and away from yourself and others. You will not be alone in this; together we will work though what’s keeping life stuck and healing the pieces of you that are in need of your attention and care. I fully trust my clients’ truest selves, their inner wisdom, and their capacity to heal. Once the individuals in a couple are healing, transformation is natural.
