Humanistic Therapists in Redondo Beach, CA

Welcome! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist that supports children, adolescents, adults and families. I am devoted to creating a compassionate and nonjudgmental environment for all individuals and families to address their mental health needs.

Hi, I'm Erika! I’m passionate about supporting individuals (ages 14+), couples, and families navigate many of life's challenges. My areas of focus are anxiety/depression, eating disorders, relationship issues, addiction, or past trauma. Maybe you've experienced sexual assault, or struggle with an eating disorder like anorexia, binge eating, or body image concerns. Perhaps you're navigating relationship struggles (and want to disrupt core patterns that aren’t working), or addiction (including substance use, sex addiction, or porn addiction). Whatever your battle, I offer a safe and supportive space to heal and rediscover yourself.

Do you feel like you don't belong anywhere? Are relationships at home or work difficult? Is someone important to you suggesting that you need help? Are you seeking more clarity in your life? Are you sleeping well? Do you wake up fearful? Does a traumatic past continue to haunt you? Are you unhappy even when thing are generally going well? Are you struggling with a lack of motivation? Do you ever just feel like saying,"What's the use?" Would you like to talk to someone who isn't judging you?

Stepfamily life is challenging. You may very well be wondering how you're going to do this. It looks like it "should" be easier than it is and that you "should" be able to figure this out. Your loved one cannot understand why you struggle. But I do. I've been there and it is why I help couples dealing with stepfamily life. You are going through challenges that simply do not occur in a first family. Learning about these dynamics and working with them creates more remarriage success. I can help you find success in your stepfamily.

I believe everything you need to succeed already exists within you. Wherever you are on your wellness journey is exactly where you need to be. I'm here to support, encourage, and challenge you to break free from maladaptive patterns and regain control over your life. If you’re eager to heal your relationship with your body, nurture a stronger sense of self, and cultivate more fulfilling relationships, you’ve come to the right place! My ideal client is someone seeking a deeper, more meaningful therapy experience beyond traditional "talk therapy." They are ready to combine insight with intentional action to create lasting change.

Finding a psychotherapist you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings with can seem like a great challenge. As you search, it is helpful to be mindful of what is bringing you to therapy and what you are wanting from a therapist. When you find someone you think you may be able to bond with, you can talk with them about what you are looking for and if you don't know, ask them how they envision working with you. As a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, I believe that meeting the client where they are is the key to creating a safe and supportive environment conducive to change.

I have 30 years experience working with individuals, couples and families dealing with life's struggles, overwhelming emotions, end of life issues, and grief and loss. My approach is warm and gentle, yet insightful and to the point. I create an inviting atmosphere where my clients feel comfortable to delve deep to bring about peace of mind and profound change. My approach incorporates a variety of evidenced based therapeutic approaches including mindfulness, DBT, CBT, and EMDR. You will find me to be both caring and firm, while I help you along your journey to building a life worth living.

Clients that come with a sense of curiosity and desire for change are ideal. But this curiosity and desire for change can be engendered through relationship, so the perfect client is the client that comes in to therapy!

Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. My hope is that therapy doesn’t feel like another task or “to do” item. While there isn’t a quick “fix” my training has been in evidenced based modalities which includes many useful skills and coping tools that one can put into practice from the start of our work together. I have a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the University of San Francisco and I have worked as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 15+ years. My experience includes working with adults, families, couples, children, and teens in private practice, schools and outpatient clinical settings.

If you're struggling with marital/relationship problems, addiction issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, or a traumatic experience(s), I'm here to help. I also provide therapy for those having difficulty coping with a crisis, a stressful life transition, or a painful loss due to a break-up, divorce, or death. As a psychologist, I embrace the traditional values of developing a comfortable and trusting relationship with clients. The relationship I build is my priority and the primary means to help you feel better. Together, we'll help you develop greater self-awareness and a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

"Feeling connected and understood is one of the greatest gifts of therapy. Another is not feeling alone as you face the burden of your personal struggle. I am here to listen, encourage, and acknowledge you. Together we can discover how to reduce your anxiety and depression. We can grieve your losses and you will learn how to trust in your ability to move forward. Whether it is the violation of health issues, the breakup from a relationship, or the persistent wounds of childhood, life can be different and more meaningful. There is hope and possibility."

It hurts to feel disconnected from your partner, parent, or child. And sometimes the harder you both try to close that distance, the farther apart and more lonely you both end up feeling. Yet you keep using the same ineffective relationship strategies, because you don't know what else to do! Or maybe you just give up. If yours is like most relationships, you're already spending enough time and effort trying to make it work -- you're just spending it in the wrong way. I can help you redirect your efforts using an approach called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).

No one is born with a playbook for life, but you have the power to write your own. Some people I work with recognize that they feel anxious, depressed, possibly reliving trauma, or are generally unfulfilled, while others are not sure why they are unhappy, nervous, not enjoying life. I’m here to help you get more out of life. More love, more joy, more peace. Change isn’t always easy. I offer a space where you can explore your emotions, fears, anger, and experience new-found hope, plus get real solutions, and thrive!
