Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

I believe therapy is about connection. Therapy is based on the connection with your therapist to create a meaningful, supportive space to explore your most vulnerable emotions. Therapy can help you strengthen your connection with the people in your life in a positive and hopeful way. And most of all, therapy can grow your connection to your most authentic self. Therapy can help guide and support you through times of stress, build communication and interpersonal skills, and develop a deep understanding of who you are and what you want out of life.

At our practice, we believe in the power of understanding your story deeply. We're here to guide you through challenges with empathy and expertise, using a psychodynamic approach that explores how past experiences shape your present. Together, we'll unravel complexities and foster healing, creating a safe space for growth and self-discovery.

Do you feel disconnected from living a vibrant and engaged life? Do the simplest tasks stand before you like an ocean? Are relationships a source of emotional pain in your life? Our ability to make sense of our emotional experiences can be the key to releasing emotional pain and suffering. Often times, our own cultural perceptions of mental health can prevent us from seeking the help that we need. My personal and professional experiences have influenced my understanding of the value of promoting mental health and how simple changes can have a profound effect on our lives.

I’m driven by a deep commitment to understanding and alleviating human suffering. My goal is to empower individuals by offering support, insight, and practical tools to navigate their mental health challenges. I aim to foster resilience and promote well-being, ensuring that everyone feels heard, valued, and equipped to lead fulfilling lives. By providing compassionate care and advocating for mental health awareness, I hope to make a meaningful impact on both individual lives and the broader community. I want all individuals to feel seen and validated, and to understand that we are in this together.

Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, a life transition, family/parenting concerns, or other mental health issues, we are all trying to better understand ourselves and break free of our limiting patterns and beliefs. My approach to therapy involves a strong foundation in formal therapeutic modalities, including CBT, DBT, family systems, and others, while at the same time recognizing that you are the expert of your own life, and it is through the therapeutic process that you will come to gain valuable insights, recognize your potential, and enhance your capacity for self-love.

Hi, I am a Narrative Therapy and AEDP trained psychotherapist. What that means is that I believe that each of us wants to find fulfillment, internal peace, and connection, but sometimes problems get in the way. In the face of life's challenges, it can be all too easy to define ourselves by what pains us and to gauge our self-worth by our problems. However, I work from the premise that you are not the problem, the problem is the problem. By changing our relationship to our problems we can gain control of and achieve peace with our emotional selves.

We understand that it is difficult to find a therapist you can actually connect to - someone who is both effective and human. That is why our therapists strive for this balance, providing authentic and effective therapy. We work collaboratively with people to detail their future hopes and honor the histories that inform their current experiences and relationships. Our goal is to not only effectively reduce symptoms, but also to facilitate the creation of a strong relationship with yourself and your inner world. Therapy can be a transformative experience when it is co-created and tailored to each individual, couple, or family.

These are difficult times navigating the on-going effects of the pandemic, US politics, climate change, and other global issues - all on top of your daily struggles. Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or fatigued? Are your relationships under stress? Are you dealing with job insecurity or a career change? If you're in need of support and looking to make some sense of these trying times, then please reach out. Together we can identify the problems you are experiencing, and find ways to make sustainable, meaningful changes and find personal growth.

Our therapists can help you reduce anxiety and depression. You've probably always wanted to be able to feel calm in the midst of difficult situations, maybe for your whole life. But instead, you're losing sleep, relationships feel fragile, and feelings like depression and anxiety dominate your day, making normal tasks seem impossible. You need things to be different.

I take a warm and collaborative approach to psychotherapy and will work with you to achieve symptom relief and lasting change. My background in theater and the arts allows me to be creative and non-rigid in my methods, although I am also goal-oriented and well versed in evidence-based approaches to therapy. I specialize in working with trauma, grief and bereavement, anxiety, depression, addiction and LGBTQIA+ issues. I also work with creatives to help establish flow and decrease blockages. My aim is to build an authentic and trusting relationship with each patient to help individuals lead more fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Life can be complicated, full of change and challenges. Although we have all come up with ways get through these times or cope, sometimes challenges persist, resurface or feel overwhelming. Significant change requires deep personal examination, something difficult to do on our own. Psychotherapy is an effective way to help us understand our behavior and its connection to our inner emotional experience. It helps to resolve common problems that often impact our daily functioning including depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, bereavement, and difficult life phases. Psychotherapy is a supportive process promoting exploration, growth and change.

Anxiety, sadness, and stress can be immobilizing, and current world events seem overwhelming for many of us, leading to feelings of helplessness and despair. These emotions are normal reactions to abnormal times, but just knowing that isn't always enough. Most of us could use some extra support right now. Whether you need a nonjudgmental listener who can help you make sense of your feelings; someone to assist you in adding to your repertoire of effective coping mechanisms; or a coach who can illuminate, and gently push you to change, thought and behavior patterns that may be contributing to keeping you "stuck," therapy can help.

My practice helps people minimize the impact of their illness, get the most from their medical treatment, and manage disruptions to their personal and professional lives. Treatment focuses taking a proactive approach to health including learning goal-setting and problem-solving skills and effectively communicating with treatment providers.

Why therapy for a child? We know that the world can be a challenging and overwhelming place, and it is no different for a child. I can support you and your child to navigate feelings of sadness, anger, fear, and frustration. You may or may not know why your child is having a hard time and certain feelings may be masquerading as challenging behaviors. I can help uncover what may be causing discomfort, fear, anxiety or sadness.

Being a people-pleaser is like juggling a million expectations—both real and imagined. You’re always worried about keeping up appearances, pleasing everyone around you, and avoiding any kind of conflict, even if it means sacrificing your own needs or desires. The pressure to keep everyone happy can leave you feeling drained and disconnected from your true self. You get stuck in a cycle of seeking validation, only to end up feeling more lost and unfulfilled. It doesn’t have to be like this. Living with authenticity is within your reach!

I believe everyone has a story. I believe Life Coaching & Therapy is a safe place to come and deeply explore that story.

I allows us to gain insight into areas of our life and thoughtfully explore approaches and solutions that grow our confidence. I offer questions, validation, empathy, and a safe and respectful place to empower your best self.
