Therapy, and how I can help

Psychotherapy, as I practice it in Los Angeles, Glendale and Pasadena, is mostly about exploring your unique inner world in a genuine relationship with an empathic, supportive fellow traveler. As a licensed MFT, I provide individual and couple therapy--including LGBT specific therapy--to clients who are struggling with issues like depression and anxiety, with an emphasis on symptom relief as well as personal growth.

I believe that we always remain the expert on our own life, that people can develop the personal resources to overcome stuck-ness, and that a collaborative therapeutic relationship is key to encouraging growth, positive change and more meaningful living. Feeling stuck often leads to depression, anxiety and/or substance use and addiction, common ways to escape feeling stuck. Helping someone get their living process un-stuck is a way in which a therapist can be particularly helpful. I have a deep background working with the LGBT community and intellectually and creatively gifted clients in and out of the entertainment industry.

Symptom relief is important, part of any useful therapy, and not the end of the journey. Once your depression or anxiety has lifted, can you also develop a more satisfying way of living? Upon overcoming an addiction’s cravings in recovery, are you ready to experience deeper, more intimate relationships? Psychotherapy can help with just these sorts of life shifts. If you’re in Pasadena, Glendale or the Los Angeles area, contact me to set up a no-cost consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
