Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Silver Lake, CA

Do you struggle with low self-esteem, shame, or self-judgment? Do you have trouble regulating big emotions? Do you have difficulties in relationships? Are you feeling lost, stuck, or miserable? I am here to help you find a pathway forward, and to guide you towards a life of meaning, joy, and contentment. Life does not have to mean suffering, and you do not have to be the person you've always been told you are. You have a choice of how you want to feel and live, and I strive to help you see that.

I work with primarily adults, couples and adolescents. My work is to help you in meeting your potential and increasing abundance in all areas of your life.

Helping to ultimately increase your motivation and self-worth.

If you're worried about your teen, I am ready to help. Having spent years working with young adults and adolescents who are struggling, I am skilled in providing support in a caring, non-judgmental way. Together I work with clients to lay down the groundwork of self-compassion to build healthier thinking, behaviors, and relationships. Over time, my teen clients have more insight and skills to use in their daily lives. My experiences working in residential substance abuse and eating disorder facilities have helped me connect with teens and develop an arsenal of skills to assist even the most withdrawn adolescent.

I help men and couples get unstuck in their relationships. As a man you may be struggling to feel and communicate your emotions, while simultaneously living with a great deal of stress. You may avoid conflict in order to not rock the boat. Self-doubt and an inner critic keep you feeling like you don't know where you're going (personally and professionally) and like you're never enough, leading to burnout. You want to feel confident, connected, have clear purpose, and to relish that thing they call joy. If you're a couple, we will work towards similar feelings of secure functioning. I want you two to feel safe, light, and powerful.

We all tell ourselves a story about who we are, where we come from, and what we believe. Understanding our story unleashes the power to influence it in new and constructive ways. What’s your story? I use thought-provoking questions and empowering perspectives to gently guide my clients through the process of exploring and understanding how they tell their story. With over 22 years in the field of mental health and wellness, I apply a customized and collaborative approach, to help individuals and couples navigate transitions, resolve internal/external conflicts, and restore balance.

At some point in your life, you received messages from society, family, peers, and/or the world that said you were 'less-than' because of how you identify. You probably internalized the message: "I am not enough." Sound like something you're dealing with? At the same time, something in you might want to fight those negative messages, and live a life full of joy, peace, laughter, and authenticity. Whatever you are dealing with or have endured, I will gladly join you in your journey of self-acceptance, contextualizing your circumstances, and building up your authentic self.

I offer an open, non-judgemental space where you can speak honestly about your thoughts and experiences while working towards your personal goals. As a queer, trauma-informed sex therapist, I enjoy working together to deconstruct the social scripts, pressures and ‘shoulds’ that often get in the way of our growth, healing and liberation. Some areas that I am especially passionate about working with are anxiety, self-esteem, life transitions, gender identity, sexuality, relationship dynamics, existential questioning, sexual trauma and chronic pain.

All of us experience twists and turns, triumphs and losses as we navigate our own unique paths. As a supportive co-collaborator, I will compassionately guide you through life's numerous obstacles – identifying and exploring the challenges which are blocking you from living your preferred life. Together, we’ll build a solid foundation to make space for new narratives of empowerment inspired by your values, hopes, and dreams.

Let's just put it out there: Livin’ ain’t easy! You’re dealing with the pressures of high performance, anxieties of what others think, the injustice of /phobias and /isms, fears of failure, and paralysis in starting that project/hobby/career you always dreamed of. You’re feeling flat in your relationships and wondering, Is this it? These things are all part of what it means to exist and be human. The thing is, we can’t navigate them alone. As relational beings, we need compassionate guidance to see us through the other side of possibility. Despite rugged individualism, it's actually brave of you to be here. Welcome.

I work with individuals, couples, and families struggling with addiction and unhealthy coping mechanisms, sexual and relationship issues, sexuality and internalized shame, codependency and individuation, anxiety and burnout. My focus is to help clients discover and live in alignment with their values. I have experience in and strongly encourage 12 Step programs for additional support when applicable. I also specialize in providing guidance and integration for psychedelic assisted psychotherapy.

Change is rarely easy and we shouldn't have to do it alone. I offer a collaborative space to uncover what may be holding you back from living the life you envision. Together, we'll build a strong therapeutic relationship to understand your growth potential and explore all aspects of the conscious and unconscious mind, body, and spirit. My style is warm, engaging, and non-judgmental while also offering honest and direct feedback when appropriate. If you're looking to tackle issues like anxiety, depression, your relationship with your body and food, or are just looking to become unstuck from old patterns, you're in the right place.

What I love most about therapy is that it offers an opportunity for a person to explore their thoughts, feelings, opinions, and develop a more meaningful understanding of our behaviors (the good, the self-sabotaging, and the in-between). Where else in life do we get to focus on ourselves in this constructive way? Therapy is one of the best gifts someone can invest their time, energy, and money in that will benefit all facets of their lives.
