Career Counseling Therapists in Los Angeles, CA

In finding a therapist, it's important to feel heard, respected, and understood, while feeing confident that they have the expertise to help you. I invite you to meet with me to see if I am the right therapist for you. I combine psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and mindfulness approaches to provide effective high-quality therapy; this means that you will develop greater awareness of your struggles while being given direct and practical guidance on how to feel better and improve your life as quickly as possible.

If you find yourself feeling stuck, anxious, depressed, angry, or blocked from harnessing your full potential, I can help. In therapy, we will work together to discover how you can live the life you want. It’s important to be seen for your authentic self and I will strive to create a space where you can examine all aspects of your identity. Some things therapy can include are processing past hurts, changing unwanted behaviors, gaining greater insight into oneself, or exploring a career change. I will adapt to your needs so you can develop the skills needed to enact your desired change.

You’d say that you are observant, conscientious, and driven. You pride yourself in your successes so far but struggle to take credit for them. You're hard on yourself but the thought of self-forgiveness or compassion brings up guilt. You're really good at being there for others and notice not receiving the same back. Self-doubt and loneliness keep you up at night and bleed into anxieties about work, relationships, and your kids if you’re a parent. You're not looking for temporary bandaids and believe sustainable healing is continuous and worth investing in. In relationships, you desire restoration of connection with your partner.
