I am dedicated to helping teens struggling with trauma and self-harm behavior. My experience working with Orange Unified School District, running groups from grade 6-12 for students struggling with emotional and behavioral problems has given me unique insight into not only helping teens, but also working with the families, schools, and community to provide more effective treatment. I have partnered with Western Youth Services in helping at risk teens and low income families in helping adolescents to overcome academic barriers and families cope with serious defiance and drug use.

Therapist

What patterns keep repeating in your life, even when part of you wants something different? I work with infants, children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, with a particular focus on experiences that are hard to put into words: the quiet accumulation of feeling disconnected or unseen, questions around adoption and family origins, infertility, the emotional weight of becoming a parent, and the grief that comes when life takes an unexpected shape. A lot of what brings people to therapy is not a single event. It builds. I trained at UCLA and bring both clinical depth and genuine warmth to this work.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has a wide network of therapists across neighborhoods like Downtown LA, Santa Monica, Silver Lake, and the Valley, so finding the right fit starts with knowing what you want support for. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or work stress. As you compare therapists in Los Angeles, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Bios can help you see whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

In a city as large as LA, more options can make the search feel less direct. Location, format, and schedule can help narrow the list. You might prefer an office near home, work, or a transit route, or a virtual appointment that fits around your calendar. It can also help to filter by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can give you a clearer sense of how each therapist structures sessions and communicates with clients.

Therapy in Los Angeles can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can compare therapists, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
