Adults Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

Often times we experience distress in life without understanding the factors that may contribute to it. We become overwhelmed and frustrated as we try to navigate life's challenges on our own and experience tremendous emotional pain. I am a psychologist with 20 years of clinical experience. My goal is to help you explore obstacles to your growth, gain insight, and provide support and guidance to make necessary changes to alleviate emotional pain, gain self-esteem, and improve your quality of life.

With nearly three decades of clinical experience, I specialize in helping adults recover from symptoms of complex post-traumatic stress and clinical anxiety. My approach blends cutting-edge, research-driven therapy with warmth, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. Upon completing therapy with me, my clients report being able to successfully navigate through the emotional challenges of daily life while preventing a relapse of pre-treatment symptoms. I have earned a master's and a doctorate degree in clinical social work.

I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in multi-states. The majority of my clinical experience has been providing individual therapy services to adolescents and adults. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and family issues. My approach combines person-centered, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and solution focused modalities. I am also EMDR trained.

I currently work with adults, couples, and families. I see therapy as one approach for an intentional practice of self and relational awareness. If you are feeling limited by your own beliefs, expectations or blurry boundaries with others, and/or constructs and constraints imposed by our systems, I want to help empower you to be curious about your potential and purpose in your own life and in the world around you. I like metaphors, so I'll use one now. I see therapy as a bass line, something that maintains a consistent and reliable beat in the background while you improvise, play, and experiment in the foreground.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process.  Although there are many great therapists out there, it does not necessarily mean that each one is the right fit for you. With the belief that the relationship between client and therapist is central to growth and healing, my style is nurturing, client centered, collaborative, and empowering.  I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to support my clients in becoming more grounded and connected to their whole and authentic self.

I consider it a great privilege to be part of someone's healing. be invited into some of people's most difficult moments, and create a space where they are free to be wholly human. I provide trauma-informed, Strength-based, culturally competent, and socially conscious therapy through a social justice framework. I believe the personal is political, and therefore, believe that therapy is inherently apolitical. I have a down to earth style in sessions and have had experience working in both a school-based and private practice setting with adolescents, adults, and couples.

I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community with a focus on transgender and nonbinary folks to address a variety of issues including gender dysphoria, identity exploration, anxiety, and depression. I utilize a social justice and intersectional framework in acknowledging the systemic oppression affecting BIPOC communities and its impact on mental health.

Welcome, I'm glad you made it here! I hope that I can help you feel comfortable and safe to dig deep. I work with adults and adolescents from all walks of life struggling with the effects of anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, trauma, and environmental stressors. In my practice, I foster safety, authenticity, and vulnerability. I can help my clients build insight, gain practical tools, and pay close attention to how they intersect with their world to feel grounded and compassionate toward themselves. I see you as a whole person and I hope to help you see that when you might feel broken down.

I believe the relationship between therapist and client is essential in understanding the underlying issues affecting one's obstacles to personal growth and happiness. It is my goal to provide a calm space and safe relationship towards that end. Working with adults, young adults and families for more than 20 years has given me a breadth of experience that I bring to the therapeutic relationship. I have particular experience with early trauma and PTSD; depression/anxiety; life transitions; addiction related symptoms; and, relationship issues.

Everyone faces difficulties, which can range from traumatic losses to everyday stressors. My aim is to provide my clients with a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you can cultivate self-awareness, experience personal growth and healthy psychological development to ultimately achieve a healthier and more balanced emotional and behavioral response to life stressors. I use a client-centered, empathetic, non-judgmental approach to treat emotional difficulties and interpersonal issues. My approach is grounded in my eclectic training with a combination of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and family therapy.

Everyone has a story to tell, and a unique set of circumstances, challenges, and experiences that make us who we are. I became a therapist because I believe everyone deserves a safe space in which they can be heard and receive support in navigating any issue that prevents them from being the person they want to be. I have experience working with children, teens, and their families, as well as young adults, working on issues ranging from anxiety and depression to self-esteem, trauma, difficulty adjusting to life transitions, complicated relationships, or with people who simply wanted to get to know themselves better.

I am a LGBT-affirmative ally. Licensed in California and Colorado. I work with those dealing with boundaries, shame, guilt, self-worth, self-regulation, trauma, family and relationship issues.

Hello there. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist located in California. I have extensive experience working with youth, adults, and families from a variety of backgrounds. In my sessions I use CBT, Attachment Theory, and trauma informed practices, but most importantly I show up with empathy, humor, and patience. I value working collaboratively alongside my clients. I believe that you are the expert on your life and my role is to provide support and guidance along the way. I often help people struggling with depression and anxiety, family and interpersonal relationship challenges, career and school stress, and self-esteem.

I help individuals, couples, families, and teens develop a balanced mindset that allows faster progress through challenges, to a deeper understanding of self and others. I work collaboratively with my clients to nurture curiosity and process thoughts and feelings at the client's self-determined pace. For me, therapy is exceptionally helpful for uncovering our identity, healing past our wounds and fortifying our capacity to live more fully.

I offer warm, socially informed, and collaborative therapeutic care, with an emphasis on treating depression, shame and self-esteem issues, and patterns of relational instability. With clinical training from the Los Angeles LGBT Center and over a decade as a high school and middle school teacher, I have specific experience with the challenges faced by adolescents, young adults, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. But in the end, I’m eager to work with anyone who feels I could be a match for their needs.
