Relationship Issues Therapists in West Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA

Nurturing, nonjudgmental understanding, respect and honesty are at the heart of the therapeutic relationship I hope to develop with you. I believe that these deepest principles are the root of healing and recovery. The therapeutic relationship is where and how this takes place. When we address it in the here and now, then it most often generalizes to the present and future of your life. The foundation of my private practice lies in fostering this experience.

Being in the world can often feel like a challenge. I work with individuals and couples who want to improve their relationships by gaining a greater sense understanding. I work with clients to develop their self knowledge and self worth so they can embrace their hopes and accept feelings of disappointment. The ability to self-reflect helps in moving toward a more satisfying future with a greater sense of compassion and tolerance for yourself and a greater openness toward others. The goal of the work is the creation of an emotionally safe home where acceptance and recognition can foster personal emotional growth and healing.

I am certified in four different evidence based practices to provide the most appropriate support to my clients. Visit my website for a more in depth description.

The most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves. We often lose sight of that connection due to invalidating, painful, and challenging experiences. If our foundation within is not solid, relationships with others often also suffer. I support those who are tired of repeating the same patterns that keep them stuck and unfulfilled. You deserve to live a life of meaning, purpose, and connection; my goal is to support you in the process of creating a life that aligns with your values.

Therapy can provide the space to form a deeper connection and closer relationship with yourself and others. I work with individuals, couples and families who are in need to be heard and seen exactly as they are in the present.

Therapy is a deeply personal, multifaceted journey inward in an already complex world.

Healing is at the heart of my practice - what you will experience with me is empathy, non-judgmental compassion, and authenticity. My therapeutic style is warm, energetic and engaged.
