A BIT ABOUT MY THERAPY

Personalized Attention for All Your Needs
 

Welcome

 

I believe psychotherapy can be a powerful catalyst for personal growth, healing, and lasting change. Through a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship, individuals can develop a deeper understanding of themselves, cultivate healthier coping strategies, and navigate life’s challenges with greater resilience.

 

Therapy is not a quick fix — it’s a meaningful process that requires commitment, openness, and partnership between client and therapist. While the journey may take time, the results can be transformative: improved emotional well-being, more fulfilling relationships, and a greater sense of purpose and self-awareness.

 

By working through self-limiting patterns and learning to manage difficult emotions, my clients often find themselves living more connected and empowered lives.

 

-About Me

 

I am a licensed psychologist with over 15 years of experience, based in Los Angeles. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of individuals, couples, and older adults. My practice encompasses:

 

* **Individual therapy** for challenges such as depression, life transitions, and emotional distress

* **Couples therapy** to improve communication, connection, and relationship dynamics

* **Geriatric therapy** to support individuals facing cognitive or physical changes related to aging

 

While my clinical experience spans many areas, I have developed a particular specialization in **anxiety disorders**. Anxiety can significantly disrupt daily life, but with the right tools and support, meaningful relief is possible. I work with a broad spectrum of anxiety-related conditions, including:

 

* Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

* Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

* Panic Disorder

* Hoarding Disorder

* Agoraphobia

* Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

* Psychosomatic and trauma-related anxiety

My Approach

 

I take a holistic view of mental health, recognizing the intricate connections between the **mind, body, and environment**. I am particularly interested in how trauma — especially psychosomatic trauma — can be stored in the body and expressed through both physical and emotional symptoms.

 

By integrating **psychological insight, somatic awareness, and environmental understanding**, I offer comprehensive care that aims not just to manage symptoms, but to address their root causes and promote lasting well-being.
