Compassionate Therapy with a Los Angeles Psychologist

Helping You Find Relief, Connection, and Lasting Change

Do you find yourself constantly striving to keep up, yet never feeling like you’ve done enough? Does taking a break feel impossible, or even undeserved? Are you caught in cycles of overthinking—replaying social interactions, worrying about how you were perceived, or feeling exhausted from the pressure of getting everything just right?

Anxiety, self-doubt, and sadness can feel overwhelming, leaving you disconnected from yourself and others. But it doesn’t have to be this way. As a dedicated Los Angeles psychologist, I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore these challenges, develop greater self-awareness, and begin to experience life with more ease and fulfillment.

A Thoughtful and Insightful Approach to Therapy

I specialize in working with adults of all ages who struggle with:

• Anxiety, excessive worrying, and overthinking

• Depression, sadness, and emotional overwhelm

• Low self-esteem and self-doubt

• Relationship challenges and social anxiety

• Life transitions (career changes, parenthood, divorce, grief, health concerns)

• Difficulty relaxing and feeling present

Therapy is a space where you can express and explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Together, we will uncover the underlying patterns that may have once served a purpose but are now holding you back. My goal is to help you cultivate self-compassion, strengthen your relationships, and create a more fulfilling, authentic life.

A Depth-Oriented Approach for Meaningful Change

I have a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Multicultural and Community Clinical Psychology, along with advanced training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Contemporary Psychoanalysis. My approach is rooted in deep listening, curiosity, and a belief in the power of self-awareness to foster true healing.

Since opening my private practice in 2012, I have worked with individuals in both long-term, in-depth therapy and shorter-term treatment when appropriate. For those seeking deeper exploration, I offer the opportunity to meet more than once a week, allowing for a richer and more transformative therapeutic experience.

Therapy can be challenging as it brings us face to face with unexamined emotions, but in allowing yourself to feel, process, and understand your inner world, real growth and change can happen.
