As individuals, we are so unique. We all come from very distinct backgrounds and life experiences, both of which impact our decisions, choices, desires and fears. These considerations all play a role in the struggles and pain we face. Looking at these areas of our lives and trying to understand their influence can be overwhelming and scary. For this reason I strive to create a safe, warm and non-judgmental environment where, together, we can explore collaboratively. This time together will allow you the space needed to evaluate your experiences and understand how they affect you and your relationships.

I'm a psychotherapist and I've been working with individuals and couples in private practice for the past 25 years. I offer EMDR to help clients integrate profound change.

I also specialize in supporting women through the midlife transition specifically with perimenopause and menopause. I lead workshops in which I offer tools, the latest information, support and community!

As we all continue to navigate life's transitions and changes, we eventually find ourselves needing guidance and support along the way. Whether you or someone you know is currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can often be a helpful, rewarding, and life-changing experience. Finding and choosing a therapist, however, could be challenging and overwhelming. Not only must practical matters be considered, such as fees and scheduling, so must the therapist's style, approach, and qualifications. In other words, it has to be a "good fit" and it must "feel right."

I specialize in a collaborative therapeutic approach, tailoring treatment methods to the individual interests and needs of each client. I integrate CBT, Mindfulness, person-centered, existential, solution-focused, and somatic movement modalities to address a wide range of client needs, from depression, spiritual awakenings, and parenting concerns to holistic living. I honor your vulnerability and openness in this process and hold the space for possibility, purpose, peace and joy in your life.

Let's face its: being human is tough, and so is life in the digital age. Even the best of us can end up feeling isolated, alone, and as if no one understands us. We all have moments of desperation and fear, can feel lost and stuck, and as if all avenues have been exhausted. We may grapple with thoughts of "I'm not good enough", and when we see others lives portrayed on Social Media, we cannot help but compare our own lives to theirs. However, we don't always see the whole picture, and relationships are unfortunately not as easy as a swipe on an app.

People who come to see me are often dealing with painful life-altering changes, depression, or anxiety. Some have long-standing emotional problems that have affected relationships or progress in their careers. People who have had therapy in the past and found it helpful are seeking to learn and understand more about their strengths and vulnerabilities. Frequently couples are struggling to recapture good feelings they once had with each other. Others want to recover from discovered infidelity. With my help they seek to manage the guilt, devastation and pain of lost trust so they may create a new relationship on sturdier ground.

Everyone has a 'sexual story.' Our culture has a love-hate relationship with sex and sends many mixed messages. I help people explore the legacy of their sexual story and identify the biological, social and psychological barriers to sexual health and satisfaction. I am an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA School of Medicine with 30 years of clinical and teaching experience. I developed my own model of talking to clients about sex ("Comfort-Inducing Sexuality Dialogue") that is both comforting and profoundly liberating.

Hi, my name is Kelsie. For many of us, the response to painful thoughts, emotions and life events is to check out, numb, avoid or shut down. To me, therapy work is not about learning to get rid of all the "bad stuff." It’s about learning how to show up and keep going DESPITE the "bad stuff." I combine a warm and accepting style with concrete skills to help you regulate your emotions, tolerate distress, identify values and goals that make life worth living and challenge thought patterns that get in the way. Above all, my approach is collaborative: we will decide together what balance of those tools will work best for you.

My background was in the creative arts, and I use that often in my relationships with clients. My concentration while studying was in neural-plasticity (which is basically the science on how the brain can change old thinking patterns with practice.)

No one is meant to walk this journey of life alone and unsupported. Seeking help is a strength and the first step toward creating a life that will provide you with meaning and purpose. I work in partnership with my clients toward the goal of facilitating overall well-being by tapping into each person's potential for personal insight and resiliency and guiding them in accessing the tools to cope with life's challenges. As the daughter of immigrants, a married mother of three children and part of the sandwich generation, I am personally familiar with life's many challenges and her to walk with you on your personal journey.

Are you looking for a therapist because your relationships are out of sorts? Are you feeling stuck, depressed, anxious, isolated or afraid? Is this troubled relationship with yourself, your life partner, your children, your parents, your co-workers? Relationships affect all aspects of our lives. Communication, anger, substance abuse and life's traumas affect all of these relationships. I believe that trauma and other life disruptions are at the heart of what ails us emotionally. We don't have to live with the fall-out from negative life events forever; there are specific things we can do to heal.

I have been working in the field of autism spectrum disorders since the late 1980’s, I have worked with the full expression of the spectrum and hold as a core belief that my job is not to make you “not autistic”, but to help you gain the insight/skills/coping techniques you seek. I see my clients as part of a system, and thus will work with parents, schools, other therapists, psychiatrists and others to ensure continuity of care. In addition to psychotherapy, I conduct diagnostic evaluations and school observations. I have provided trainings all over the world to clinicians and educators alike.

I have worked with teens in schools, treatment centers, and in private practice to provide understanding support and care during many individuals’ hardest, human experiences.

Finding the right therapist can be challenging. If you are seeking a safe and nurturing environment where your desired goals and potential can be achieved, I can assist you. Helping my clients create a more fulfilling well balanced life is my role as a therapist. I am aware of how difficult it is to be honest about feelings, past trauma, fears and anxiety. As such, I am nonjudgmental, nurturing and provide unconditional support to everyone I work with.
