Therapy in Los Angeles and throughout California
Do you feel like your emotions are taking over?
Feelings of unease, worry, hopelessness, and apathy can be so intense that they disrupt our daily lives and feel inescapable. Therapy can help you understand the underlying drivers of your emotions and find more ease in the unpredictability of life. By examining your life story and your day to day emotions we can shed light on themes that hold meaning for you. Together, we can explore the repeating patterns of your struggles and increase your self-compassion. I strive to provide a space for you to talk about your emotions honestly and begin to make sense of them, bringing a sense of relief and hope.
What are some symptoms you might be struggling with?
Panic attacks
Lack of interest in things you enjoy
A pervasive sense of uneasiness
Relationship issues
Dissatisfaction, apathy, and hopelessness
Compulsive behaviors (shopping, constant scrolling, gaming, other self destructive coping strategies)
We’ll examine how you cope with your emotions—maybe through spending hours on social media, indulging in retail therapy, or using other self destructive ways to escape. While building coping skills is important, our work will focus on developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationship with the world. This insight allows you to make changes that align with your values and desires, serving as a lifelong investment that will yield lasting benefits.
How I Work
Struggling with your emotions can feel isolating, but support is available. I use a relational psychodynamic approach to help you explore the deeper factors behind your feelings. Our histories and unconscious influences play a crucial role in how we navigate challenges. In our sessions, we’ll examine the emotions you may be avoiding, your coping strategies, and your beliefs about yourself and the world. We’ll also consider how our therapeutic relationship reflects other significant connections in your life. The goal is to foster deeper self-understanding that leads to meaningful, lasting change. Psychoanalytic psychotherapy emphasizes client-led exploration, offering lasting benefits even after therapy ends. Contact me today to discuss how this approach can help you manage anxiety and depression.
