Therapists in Venice, CA
We have all been in a place where the problems we face are higher than Everest and scarier than a horror movie. If you are in that place, well, I have been there, too. Fortunately, through the help of some truly gifted psychotherapists, who listened to me with the greatest attention, who empathized with my plights, and who offered the kind of magical elixir of care, concern and challenge, I grew out of these feelings and made a great life for myself. If you want something similar, therapy is great. And it would be my honor to be your therapist.

As you take one of the most difficult steps in your pursuit of relief, I offer you my encouragement & support. To thrive, we must face the discomfort of the challenges that are causing us pain & distress. The desire to make changes, yet not knowing how, or where to begin is overwhelming. That’s exactly what therapy can help you with. Together, we will process emotional experiences with a new understanding, while repairing wounds from the past and the present. These include relational issues with yourself + others, insecurities, feeling stuck, difficulty letting go of relationships and resisting change.

People seek therapy for so many reasons, but mostly we all want to feel loved, safe and understood. We want to feel a sense purpose & feel good enough as we are, and yet so many of us struggle to feel these ways. Sometimes our lives look very different than we imagined & we need help making sense out of things. We might be feeling numb or disconnected, uncertain or alone. We might be questioning the direction of our lives and/or need to find some hope or clarity. Self compassion & radical self-acceptance are cornerstones of my work. I'd like to explore these concepts with you and help you make meaning of your life and sense of self.

I believe change, growth, and healing are possible when we better understand ourselves and the patterns in our lives. Especially with the state of the world right now, it would make sense if your goals were to feel less anxious, less stressed, more secure, or more connected. Through our collaborative exploration, curiosity, and empathy, I believe we can find opportunities for healing, challenge old patterns that no longer serve you, and develop a greater sense of control over your life.

I offer psychotherapy in English and French for individuals and couples who need support through challenging times. Life is a series of transitions, I help those who might feel held back, disconnected, misunderstood, or like they don’t belong—leaving them feeling isolated, anxious, or hopeless. For couples and diverse relationship structures, we will work on building connection and safety by exploring each partner’s needs, strengths, baggage and identifying patterns of disconnection. I also specialize in working with people from multicultural or international backgrounds.

As humans, we tend to shy away from pain. In order to heal the pain, we must first acknowledge it. When we take a closer look at our pain, a number of emotions can emerge. In therapy, I will provide a safe space for you to experience emotions and memories that are difficult to face alone. In session, clients experience me as attentive, compassionate, and authentic. By exploring and asking questions about your experiences, I will help you create a strong sense of self-awareness that will help you navigate life difficulties more effectively.

I believe everyone is capable of living their fullest, most vibrant life and it is my passion to help them achieve it. I help clients foster insight by processing their past experiences and gently uncovering the ways their pasts connect with their current struggles. I teach clients to discover the patterns and rules that keep them stuck and then support them in cultivating a life that brings them joy and fulfillment. I invite my clients on a journey of self-compassion and teach them how to prioritize gentleness and self-care. I believe therapy can be silly and even fun while still being impactful and effective.

I have worked in hospital outpatient centers, community mental health, residential recovery centers, and in-home services with survivors of sexual assault and adults who struggle with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. I am interested in understanding one's emotional responses, interpersonal concerns, and patterns in relationships, identity development, and bettering the person's life as a whole. I believe that every person can grow into the best version of themselves through therapy. When we look inside and grow through what we’ve gone through, we can achieve our true potential.
