About My Clients
Are you struggling with depression or anxiety? Healing from past trauma? Going through grief? Seeking work-life balance? Searching for meaning? There are many reasons to seek psychotherapy. Seeking therapy is a brave step: choosing to face your challenges head on, opening up about past conflicts and traumas, bringing up difficult memories and feelings, making life changes in the face of uncertainty, and so forth. In therapy, we work together in service of a more fulfilling and congruent life.
My Background and Approach
I identify as a integrative psychotherapist, incorporating psycho-dynamic, cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, and mindfulness-based psychotherapies. I have extensive experience treating a wide range of mental health issues and life challenges. Based on well-founded psychological principles and empirically supported approaches, my therapeutic approach provides perspectives, interventions, and practical strategies to help you overcome your struggles or for the purposes of self-development, such as gaining insight, self-compassion, resiliency, emotional relief, and self-agency. I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental environment to make it easier for you to open up about your life challenges. I treat each client as a unique individual, and take into consideration your whole person-hood to understand the deeper underlying issues. I am intentional about cultivating a secure, affirming, and trusting therapeutic relationship to provide a corrective emotional experience.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am passionate about helping others through psychotherapy. I see my role as a therapist less as a “job,” and more as a spiritual calling that provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment in my life. I am often humbled, and deeply touched, by the depth of pain and suffering my clients endure, and the deeper wisdom, courage, and strength of character my clients demonstrate in facing these challenges. All expressions of diversity are respected. It is my belief that diversity is the law of nature, there are no two things in nature exactly alike. While we all share a human core, it is our differences that define our individuality and shape our identities. Park LA aims to be an inclusive and accepting space.
