Female Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

In dealing with stressors, life events, challenging relationships, and traumatic experiences we develop patterns to keep ourselves safe and sane; which often also limits us. The challenge is unlearning these narratives and trusting our innate wisdom. When we feel safe, secure and accepted for who we are we can begin the process of shedding what doesn’t work for us, while exploring our untapped potential. I believe you are the master of your story; and I hope to create a safe space where we can gain insight about your inner battles, develop skills to enhance holistic development, and realize the potential of your authentic self.

I am a kink-knowledgeable, poly-aware, LGBTQIA+ friendly therapist. Together we can address obstacles that prevent you from having the sex life you desire. For clients who are experiencing pain during sex, struggling to feel safe in their identity, or just want to talk about depression with a therapist who gets their D/s dynamic, I'm here to support. Additionally, as a therapist with ADHD, I have a lot of experience addressing the needs of neurodivergents. Let's work together to create a pathway to full self-expression and passionate living.

I help adults from all walks of life with emotional suffering. My focus is to help you regain your clarity & confidence that align with your life purpose, providing you guidance in a safe and non-judgmental environment that is collaborative and empowering. I am also a relationship expert helping couples and families to understand each other and connect in a healthier way. With 19 years of professional mental health experience, my commitment is to work with you in the most nurturing and empowering way so that you can be the best version of yourself.

Chronic Stress. Anxiety. Depression. Burnout. These aren't just words for me. They're experiences I've lived through. Now, I am dedicated to supporting others as they navigate these same challenges and emerge stronger. Recognizing that healing is multifaceted, I believe in whole-person health optimization by choosing integrative medicine as an opportunity heal — physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Drawing from my own experiences of overcoming stagnation, I support others to reclaim their light & zeal for life — allowing you to return to a place of wholeness.

We all have ideals-- how we think we should feel, how we feel we should think, how we want others to behave towards us, how we want our life to unfold. When reality doesn’t match our ideals, it can bring confusion, frustration, even despair. We may feel trapped between our ideals and reality, leading us to believe we are spinning in circles. I see the therapeutic process as one that allows for an exploration of these ideals and an opportunity to understand how they play a role in one’s relationship with self and with others. My hope is that, through this process, you will find a deeper clarity of your values, wants, and needs.

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.

Starting therapy and picking a therapist can be stressful. Think about our first meeting simply as a conversation. Whether you're choosing a new career, getting in/out of a relationship, or mourning the loss of a loved one, it's often helpful to talk to an objective person outside of your family or friend group to understand what is going on and to create new, positive coping skills. In my practice, I see adults and couples. I bring my extensive education, training and experience as a social worker and contemporary psychoanalyst to our work.

Make time for yourself today. Painful symptoms from depression, anxiety, and/or relationship problems can cause great difficulty as we try to navigate through daily life. You don't have to go through difficult times alone. Talking about what you are experiencing is the first step to feeling better. I listen carefully and openly to current and past struggles to help promote self-awareness and understanding. I work closely with my clients to alleviate problematic symptoms and promote overall well-being.

Through evidence-based techniques and a compassionate approach, I tailor my style to the individual's unique needs. With an understanding of the complexities of your journey, I customize the therapeutic experience to fit the unique circumstances. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where growth and healing can take place, and where one can develop the skills needed to lead a fulfilling life and incorporate authenticity.

I use therapy designed to meet your individual needs and goals. I focus in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, trauma and loss. I use a biopsychosocial approach which recognizes the importance of addressing the interaction between physical, psychological and social factors in both the prevention and management of disease.

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.

Battling with intrusive or unwanted thoughts? Ruminating on whether you locked your front door or left your stove on? Hi there, I work with clients who are struggling with obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. You may feel as though you don't have control over your life right now and find these struggles seeping into your everyday routine. I am here to help you break that cycle while also looking at and examining the trauma and experiences that may have led you here. Holding space for the stories of the past while looking to author a new one in the future is just part of the work we will do here.

Therapy offers an opportunity to work through difficult moments and deepen connection in one's life. My goal is to help you feel free from old patterns and more confident to move through life with intention. I specialize in working with 30-40 year olds working through relationship issues, personal identity, and transitional life changes. I also welcome clients who are seeking therapy for the first time.

Do you ever feel like you are stuck in the past or plagued by negative thoughts of the future? Have you ever had times where you felt like you were a prisoner of your own mind? If you are looking to gain tools to heal from the past or present, I would be honored to support you in your journey.

Therapy offers us the opportunity to live more intentionally, to create expansion in our understanding of self and others and to create lasting change and progress.My clients are people who are interested in deeply and honestly exploring their own experiences to create lasting change. Together, we will uncover the patterns in your life and explore the stories that you carry as you write the next chapter in your life’s journey.

I offer a warm, honest partnership for anyone who is struggling emotionally. People come in feeling alone in some way: overwhelmed, unfulfilled, blocked creatively or convinced that everyone else in the world is different from them. Or, maybe you are grieving the break-up of a relationship, marriage, or the death of someone close. Feeling alone in your pain is often the worst part.

Sometimes we need help managing anxiety, depression, stressors of life, relationship struggles, self-esteem, trauma, loss, or alcohol use. It's more than okay to ask for help. Are you hoping to learn how to manage your anxiety or depression? Do you need help navigating relationships? Are you hard on yourself and struggling with self-love? Do you ever wonder how past hurts are affecting your current life? Do you need a safe space to process your life apart from friends and family? As a therapist, I enjoy helping people find the tools to improve their mental health and help them find happiness in their day-to-day lives.
