Anxiety Therapists in California

Are you a woman that has done everything expected and more, but it never feels like enough, and your life is far from what you hoped? Everyone thinks that you have it all together, but inside you feel overwhelmed by your responsibilities. You realize that you have given everything to your relationships, but you struggle to lean into them because you don’t feel supported. You know that you want to do things differently and be different, but you are unsure of what that even looks like. It is possible for you to cultivate a life you genuinely love, with the people that matter the most, by gaining a deeper sense of who you are. Therapy should be a safe space where you can grow, flourish, and heal. Our sessions will help you learn to see the big picture so you can shift your perspective, get clear about what matters, and create lasting change in your life and relationships. We will focus on the whole of who you are so you can truly be whole and step into your power and purpose. As an experienced women’s therapist, I believe you can resist shrinking yourself to make others comfortable, have confidence managing life’s ups and downs, and prioritize your needs guilt free. Our work will help you develop the tools to create positive, lasting changes that honor your values and wellbeing. Visit my website to schedule a free consultation.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Are you repeating frustrating patterns? Do you feel unsure of how to move forward? It’s normal to feel this way when facing major life transitions in a complex and often oppressive world.  Working together, I will help you slow down and pay attention to what is happening on the inside with gentleness and curiosity to find answers from your inner wisdom. By changing your relationship with yourself, you can feel more grounded, confident, and authentic. Doing so will allow you to access your most profound sense of empowerment and make clear choices to lead a more meaningful life.  When you face major life transitions, you may feel anxious, sad, isolated, frustrated, or confused. If you have a chronic or terminal illness, grief from the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or a job, or are exploring your gender or sexual orientation; therapy can provide support and connection as you navigate challenges and choices.  While the lens through which I view the therapy process is existential and transpersonal, my work is fundamentally trauma-informed and social justice-oriented (anti-oppressive). The most common piece of feedback I receive from clients is that they feel more empowered, confident, and grounded after working with me. I am known for providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we explore your feelings, thoughts, choices, and values with gentle curiosity to increase self-awareness and self-compassion to improve your relationship with yourself and others. Together we can sort through what you are feeling to gain insight and relief so you can live with enhanced authenticity and integrity.    

I have talked with many people who have tried every solution they can think of to bring relief to areas of life that feel stuck. I would love to sit down with you and discover what that has been like for you. Together we can work through the dynamics, emotions, and thoughts that have been the cause of such hurt or difficulty and bring a greater sense of peace and control. My focus is to listen deeply to my clients, bring awareness to their needs, and find a path toward positive change in meeting those needs. Whether I'm working with individuals, couples, or families, I help each person find their voice and understand themselves better. I have a demonstrated track record for increasing insight, deepening emotional awareness, and responding to people with sensitivity and empathy. It is my heartfelt desire to come alongside individuals, couples, and families helping to unlock a variety of life's challenges. ** I offer in-person sessions (with precautions per Los Angeles County guidance).
