Therapists in Sawtelle, Los Angeles, CA

Fact is, the past often gets in the way of living life to its fullest. Do you feel emotionally drained, empty inside with thoughts of self-loathing? Maybe you are consumed with shame over memories, behaviors or thoughts you cannot seem to control. Loss of sleep and an overall sense of irritability can overwhelm any sense of normalcy. This is not the real you-but how to get out from under it? Breakthroughs happen... when digging deep one needs an experienced hand to shine a light to help.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process that helps you to accomplish the goals that are most meaningful to you. My practice focuses on using scientifically supported and effective treatments that help adults and adolescents to both feel better and function better in their everyday lives.

The parts of us that require healing are often sites of trauma, fear or shame; my therapeutic approach creates a safe space for exploring this often painful territory, with emphasis on providing you with tools and techniques to maintain that sense of safety in both other therapeutic settings and in day-to-day life. My clinical work, is based in expertise and a passion for empowering you to meet and overcome what is holding you back.

I provide psychotherapy to adults, couples, and young adults in the West Los Angeles area. Many people come to therapy seeking help with depression, anxiety, and in some cases, trauma recovery. Therapy is a place for you to learn more about what you think, how you feel, and what you do. It can be a way to enhance support, feeling understood, and in some cases the opportunity to begin to make changes in your life. We can collaborate to work towards your goals together. The therapeutic process is tailored to help you figure out what you may need to help you achieve personal and professional well-being.

Are relationships supposed to be this hard? When sexual issues keep you from maintaining or obtaining a happy relationship it's time to see a sex therapist. As a sex & relationship specialist, I successfully treat people with issues surrounding sexual desire & performance, sexual trauma, problems with arousal or orgasm, differences in the amount of sex they'd like to have, & sexual pain disorders such as vaginismus. I assist clients in building intimacy by deepening their mutual understanding & compassion (for their often very opposite mate!) and help them stay accountable for taking positive action to improve relationships.

In a rapidly changing and evolving world, it may sometimes feel challenging to preserve your peace and strength. Therapy is the choice to slow down and give yourself time to reflect on what parts of yourself need compassion, acceptance, or movement to change. My aim is to empathetically and non judgmentally align with you to enliven your purpose and desires. I utilize the therapeutic relationship to foster connection and explore resiliency and attunement with the self. In working with adolescent and adult clients, I meet you where you are respectfully and provide support to help you grow towards personal goals.

Life can be tough. Feeling overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings can make it feel even tougher. Worries that paralyze you or keep you from the life you want. Intrusive obsessive thoughts that get you lead to cycles of avoidance, reassurance, and actions that you take to try to get rid of them. The low lows of your mood, energy, and motivation. And all the other ways these struggles may present during times of stress or life transitions, including hair pulling, skin picking, or body dysphoria. These concerns emerge for children, teens, and adults alike. All of whom simply want a life without mental and emotional suffering.

I approach therapy with warmth, compassion, nonjudgment, and cultural sensitivity. While I work with a broad range of mental health conditions, my areas of particular specialty are in the treatment of anxiety and mood disorders, borderline personality disorder, addiction, OCD, and PTSD/trauma. I strive to provide an environment that encourages authenticity, recognizing that therapy can be a vulnerable and challenging process that also offers an invaluable path towards healing and recovery.

At times, we may face challenges which can leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, and alone. I'll meet you where you are and highlight your strengths as we work together to identify patterns or behaviors that aren't serving you. I understand that everyone’s therapeutic journey is different and offer personalized care and coaching as you pursue your therapeutic goals. I work well with individuals who seek to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and learn healthy coping mechanisms in aiming to foster personal growth. I am also passionate about working with individuals who seek to develop healthier romantic relationships.
