Therapists in Westlake, Los Angeles, CA
As wonderful as life can be, reaching your goals, coping with everyday issues, handling relationships, finding purpose, and staying inspired can be challenging. At times, embracing who you are and what you believe can be difficult. Even with your best efforts life can be stressful, and things don’t always go as planned. Connecting body and mind; using creative expression to destress, heal, dig deeper, and express what you are going though when words aren't enough, may be what you need to help guide you through challenges, make healthy decisions, feel better, and enjoy life. Would you like to understand the healing of your story?

Do you feel like you are at a crossroads and wondering "where do I go from here?" It can be daunting to explore the places that scare you but deciding to do so is often the road to liberation. I work with individuals and couples who are stuck and looking for a way forward. Relationships, both with ourselves and with others, can be complex and we often become complacent and used to "the way things are." If you are here, you probably have a sense that something needs to change. I encourage you to trust yourself and give me call. I offer a free phone consultation.

Ready to make a change? Are you a Teen, College Student, or Young Adult under the age of 35 feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt-out, and maybe even depressed. You may be in a place of frustration, as new situations and challenges have started to pile up - causing you to feel like you have “too much on your plate.” Overwhelmed and nervous about the future, you might be asking yourself “What do I do now?” Do you often reflect on your childhood and teenage years where things were just "easier." Navigating life is tough but it' NOT impossible. As a Black Female Therapist, I am here to help.

I believe you're here for a reason, and that God has a purpose for you. Depression, anxiety, marital issues, eating disorders, and many other problems, keep us from living full lives. I became a therapist because I have a passion for helping people who are hurting, and want more out of life. I believe my greatest strength is helping people find the missing keys needed to make positive change. I believe I connect well with my clients by not judging them and by empathizing with their struggles. I am passionate about helping people find the happiness they're looking for.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS I joined Therapy Lab (www.therapylab.com) January 2021, where I am excited to offer services to California and Washington residents via telehealth technology. I have worked with adults across the lifespan (18-100+) and believe I work best with someone who is looking for the best path and tools to use along the way of healing and growth. My ideal client is someone who is ready and willing to 1. implement my recommendations, 2. consider honestly the barriers to their change, and 3. give me feedback so I can adapt to better suit their needs.

I work with people suffering from anxiety and/or depression who wish to deeply explore what is behind the symptoms they are experiencing. I work best with people who need a space to be heard and want to be empowered in their treatment. If you are noticing patterns and themes in your life and are unsure about why you are unable to do things differently despite wanting to change, exploring your foundational experiences can help to get to the root of the matter. Sometimes coping skills and tools are not enough, and I am here to help. I am LGBTQ affirmative, sex positive, and work through a social justice lens.

As a psychotherapist, I believe utilizing evidence-based psychotherapy interventions are crucial in providing effective and ethical treatment. By incorporating these strategies, I am ensuring that my clients receive interventions that have been scientifically validated and have demonstrated positive outcomes. This approach also emphasizes the importance of tailoring treatment to the individual's unique needs and preferences.
