About
As a Registered Psychological Associate, I specialize in working with adults and couples from underrepresented, culturally diverse groups. My practice is rooted in authenticity and integrates psychodynamic principles with attachment, offering a comprehensive approach to mental health and relational well-being. I work with a range of issues, including anxiety, family dynamics, relationship challenges, and complexities surrounding gender identity and sexuality.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in exploring the here-and-now, unconsciousness, and early attachment experiences, unraveling how these foundational elements shape current interpersonal relationships and emotional patterns. I hope to help you understand your internal world better, facilitating deeper insights and helping you move toward personal growth. I cultivate a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel empowered to explore your most intimate thoughts and feelings, including those hidden from your conscious awareness. Your relationship with and feelings toward me are worth discussing and can be an important part of your inner work. My goal is to guide you toward a clearer understanding of your life experiences, enabling you to forge healthier relationships with yourself and others. This process often involves examining the deep-seated roots of emotional struggles, leading to transformative self-discovery and personal development. Together, we can work towards unraveling complex emotional patterns, fostering self-awareness, and cultivating more fulfilling connections in your life. If you're ready to engage in a profoundly transformative therapeutic experience, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
Research shows that the relationship you have with your therapist is the most important key to successful outcomes. I encourage you to schedule a complimentary consultation to explore if I’m the best fit for you by calling me at (310) 987-7455 or scheduling some time to speak using my online booking system.
