Do you feel inundated with self-critical thoughts, or perhaps you experience a sense of emptiness and separateness? Are you unfulfilled with the relationships in your life, or wish you had more connections? Sometimes all the time we spend thinking and doing makes us miss important messages from our body about what we are feeling and needing. We then feel confused, anxious, or distracted. Unfortunately, we often learn from an early age to ignore our feelings and our bodies, which leads us to feel a lingering sense of shame, disconnection from others, and even physical pain and illness.

You’ve likely spent plenty of time and effort trying to figure out how to improve your life in one way or another.

I believe that you and I can work together to discover a more peaceful and meaningful life. This means working together to uncover new strategies for managing painful thoughts, memories and emotions.

Hi, I'm Nadiya! Growing up is a time of wonder and challenges. Sometimes these challenges need a little help from a child therapist. I approach therapy for young people as an opportunity for them to grow from the challenges of life, develop a stronger sense of self, and feel more secure and connected to themselves and the world around them. Through therapy, they can develop a toolbox within themselves, an anchor, to always come back to as they continue to grow and successfully take on challenges. I hope through their time in therapy, they honor their capacity and strengths.

Hi, I'm Tiffany! I am Accepting New Clients. My ideal client's are adults ages 18+ who might struggle with being highly self-critical and negative self-talk, feelings of not fitting in / fear of missing out, if you're processing past experiences that have changed your perspective on life, and/or find yourself often living in chronic survival mode; often due to things outside of your control. As a neurodivergent, queer, BIPOC therapist, I also see clients of many marginalized communities looking to gain support, build confidence, and work on past traumas.

Sometimes people feel unable to move on from things that have happened in their life, stuck in their moods, jobs, or unfulfilling relationships. I work from a primarily psychodynamic point of view to help clients better understand what might be getting in the way of living the life they want. I will value working collaboratively with you to facilitate the healing process. I have extensive experience working with children, college aged individuals, adults, veterans, and seniors with short and long term interventions.

My passion centers on the ways in which early relationships, life experiences and cultural contexts shape our worldviews and impact our choices, coping and performance. I also focus on the interplay between the mind and the physical body, and the ways we can use this connection to increase well-being and overall functioning. Over the past 15 years I have worked in various academic medical institutions and hospitals (UCLA, CHLA), using research-based interventions to guide individuals (children, youth and adults), couples and families in working towards agency, personal growth, positive change, insight, and adaptation to life events.

As a psychotherapist I specialize in helping individuals who are interested in learning and growing in self-awareness and confidence. I work well with people who are exploring patterns of substance use, intimate relationships, performance anxieties, lack of confidence/satisfaction, major life transitions (job/school changes/relational/grief). I am a relationally and present moment-based therapist. This means we will work from a framework that everything (past/present/future) can be addressed by exploring the relationship you have with it in "right now". My role is to help guide you on your path of wellness.

Accepting new clients as of 08/19/2024. I work with adults who want to live a better, more meaningful life that isn’t dominated by suffering and shame. To achieve this, I help individuals connect with their wisdom and vitality during sessions to live better lives outside of sessions. I work with individuals to address issues including mood and anxiety, relationship struggles, substance use, life transitions, gender and sexuality, complex trauma, and identity exploration. I believe we all struggle to deal with various types of pain and shame, but with support and compassion, it is possible to live a liberated life.

However, take a moment to reflect that you’ve made it to THIS moment in search for hope, understanding, growth, and relief.

It can be hard to know which therapist will meet your needs. If you are anxious, stressed, struggling with relationships, or just feel like something is 'off', I might be the right fit for you. People often work with me on issues within their relationships, feeling comfortable with their emotions, and overcoming obstacles to success. People might have trouble with body image, maintaining meaningful friendships, managing conflict, setting boundaries, coping with fear, and reconnecting with themselves after traumatic experiences. If this resonates with you, I'm glad you found my page.

I believe all parts of you hold wisdom. I am here to help you discover the resources you have within and around you, so that you may better move toward the life you want. This may look like acknowledging, grieving, and moving past trauma responses that once served you but are now keeping you stuck. Or it may look like finding the wisdom and underlying needs that are communicated by your anxiety, depression, and/or dissociation. Maybe your mind and body are in conflict, or you seek spiritual growth.

You are not what you feel. You are not even what you think. You are what you do. Acceptance & Commitment Therapy is about taking thoughts and feelings and using them for what they're supposed to be: data. They are merely to let us know how we're responding to our environment. It is up to our higher cognitions, our rational thoughts, to decide what to do with that information. My clients range from those with neurodevelopmental issues, mood disorders, and life adjustment events. The premise is the same in all cases: understand ourselves, what we feel and think, figure out WHY we think that way, and then decide what to do with it.

Finding balance in an evolving world full of social and emotional obstacles can be exhausting. We can find ourselves stuck in patterns that no longer serve our well being. Identifying new strategies to cope with uncertainties in life can help you regain your emotional equilibrium and ease discomfort. Therapy is a safe place to practice making meaningful connection, to expand your capacity to problem solve, and an opportunity to become a more confident, empowered decision maker. My approach to therapy is collaborative, creative, and compassionate incorporating traditional talk therapy and art therapy interventions.

Do you feel different than others? Do you feel a drive to be a perfectionist, avoid mistakes, internalize criticism and then continue being hard on yourself? Are you a people pleaser and want to do the "right thing" yet struggle to make decisions? Are you overstimulated by sensory input and/or feel exhausted more easily than others? You are not alone. When these traits are misunderstood, they can lead a person to feel anxiety, rumination, overthinking, sleep problems, low motivation, fatigue, negative thinking, depression and often believing "something is wrong with them."
