Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
My clients usually express experiencing conflicts, inside themselves or with others, and are looking for empathic, flexible, culturally competent, and dynamic clinician to provide support and guidance. My clients have challenges with anxiety, stress, trauma, depression, grief, self-esteem, self/body image, interpersonal relationships (family, platonic, romantic), work-life balance, life transitions, racial trauma, racial identity, challenges with boundary setting, and assertive communication. I provide them an empathetic and supportive environment to explore these challenges, and develop goals and interventions to grow and heal.

I am a firm believer that life can feel so difficult, so bleak, that it is totally reasonable to sometimes question its value. I am also a firm believer that difficult, bleak things can still be meaningful, still include joy, still contain peace. I specialize in complex trauma therapy with teens and adults, frequently including domestic and sexual violence, moderate to severe psychiatric diagnoses, and those with histories of self-harm and suicidality. I am an advocate before I'm a therapist, am antiracist, justice-oriented, and prioritize providing therapy with respect and compassionate curiosity.

I believe in a holistic, strength- based, individualized approach to therapy. I believe we are all multifaceted, and that our mental, physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual health are all interconnected. I work with each of my clients to better understand and integrate those aspects of themselves to best approach challenges and changes in their lives. I work with clients to uncover and build on their own unique strengths, and my philosophy is that a collaborative therapeutic relationship is a key factor in successful treatment. My goal is to help each person feel empowered to thrive in all areas of life.

I view therapy as a place and space that is sacred. It is the place that is safe and allows you to be your authentic self without judgement or pretense. This is the place where the unspoken finally becomes spoken in a way and manner that is transparent, dignifying and healing. The goal is for you to be honest about your values, dreams and expectations of your life and we partner together to get it figured out. Our work will create a space that is compassionate, nonjudgmental, accepting, affirmative and empowering for each one of my clients in order to move beyond the problem story and find their preferred identity.

Modern life is challenging for a variety of reasons. I believe we’re all doing the best we can, but sometimes we don’t know why life isn’t going as well as we'd like. Whether you’re struggling with relationships, loneliness, career ambitions, or fulfilment, therapy provides a safe environment to better understand what’s troubling you. The therapeutic space is sacred to me because vulnerability requires trust and leads to healing. Sometimes, we need permission to feel. Other times, we need to uncover our authentic selves. No matter the personal challenge, I will provide you with curiosity and acceptance.

As a Jungian analyst, I see symptoms as meaningful. For many people, it is a symptom that initially brings them into therapy: anxiety, depression, insomnia, perhaps an addiction. Symptoms are often our body's way of letting us know that life in its current arrangement is not working. For any number of reasons - trauma, loss - one's true nature has been diminished, co-opted, denied. It can give one a sense of feeling unrelated to one's life.

I seek to create a safe, humorous and collaborative space for clients to explore their own ability to access greater insight, clarity and self-awareness. I gravitate towards humanistic, psychodynamic and in-depth psychology (Spiritual) approaches - while also tailoring each session to my client’s particular needs and strengths.
