Gottman Method Therapists in Playa Del Rey, CA

I work with individuals and couples. With my background in law and my passion for mental health, I help lawyers and busy professionals navigate relationship issues, overcome burnout, and tackle work-related stress head-on. Maybe it’s the pressure-cooker environment at work, where deadlines loom like storm clouds. Or perhaps it’s the all-too-familiar dance of miscommunication and misunderstandings in your relationship, leaving you both feeling like you're stuck in a tango with two left feet. I can help you tap into your inner strength, set boundaries, and confidently navigate life’s twists and turns.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I will collaborate with you in developing problem-solving skills to enhance the coping strategies that will help you deal with depression, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, grief, stress management, body image issues and other anxiety-producing experiences. I focus on understanding your symptoms within the context of your interpersonal relationships.

Are you experiencing challenges in dealing with anxiety, depression, and traumatic experiences? Do you struggle with effective communication and setting boundaries in your relationships with others? Life often presents obstacles and difficulties that might lead to these difficulties without proper tools, resources, and guidance. I utilize CBT, DBT, ACT, and Trauma-informed care to help you manage symptoms and promote healing and growth. With a deep appreciation for the uniqueness of each client and their lived experiences, I foster a collaborative and inclusive therapeutic environment.

Welcome! I am a bilingual psychotherapist/ psychoanalyst, committed to providing compassionate, culturally sensitive, and effective therapeutic services to diverse populations. Life at times presents us with struggles and setbacks, but sometimes the same problems will keep on recurring unless you make a change. Therapy can help you find the underlying causes of why you feel the way you do and finally move towards relief. My therapy style offers a safe, warm and compassionate environment while encouraging my clients to recognize their strengths and weaknesses within themselves.

I specialize in assisting individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and burnout. My diverse clientele includes young individuals exploring their identities to adults skillfully navigating the complexities of work, relationships, and family. My role as a therapist is to help my patients identify and decipher their emotional signals, empower them to be more self-aware and provide coping skills that they can integrate into their daily lives.

The people who come to me are curious to get to know themselves in a deeper way. I support my clients with improving connection and managing conflict in their relationships, embracing authenticity, mitigating perfectionism, setting healthy boundaries, interrupting unhelpful patterns, mindfully reducing anxiety, and healing from trauma. Together, we can work toward both short-term and long-term change.

Do you feel as though your anxiety and depression are unmanageable? How about feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or helplessness like you’ve hit rock bottom and are struggling to find hope for tomorrow? Once we start to unravel the details of our past and trauma we give ourselves the ability to process feelings that we have long suppressed. I aim to collaborate with you and provide tools to decrease the challenging feelings you are currently facing and achieve a more integrated and balanced sense of self, leading to emotional healing and personal growth.

My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

My Therapy Corner is a boutique practice helping individuals and couples heal through a trauma-informed, attachment-focused lens.

It's important to us that you feel very comfortable in our sessions. We are on this journey of your healing together and our style is collaborative and warm. Together, we can work on letting go of past traumas or anything else that's been hurtful to you and your relationship.

I am a West-Los Angeles LCSW, offering both in-person and tele-therapy sessions, working with both individuals and couples. My style as a therapist is warm and challenging, direct and engaging. I know that no two clients are the same, and treat each client with a specific approach tailored to their wants and needs. The primary topics I work with are addiction, depression/anxiety, physical pain and couple's issues (I am a LEVEL 3 Gottman Method therapist). If you're ready to take that leap and give therapy a try, or return to therapy, give me a call or shoot me an email. You can learn more about me on my webstie.

I specialize in working with both couples and individuals. Many couples truly love each other but need help with their communication and working through conflict. Couples therapy can help strengthen relationships and turn around the negativity that leaves each partner feeling misunderstood and disconnected. I use many of the techniques of the Gottman Method which focuses on developing strategies to treat each other with greater kindness, thoughtfulness and respect.
