Therapy in
West Los Angeles
Therapy for anxiety, attachment wounds and trauma in person on Sawtelle Blvd. and virtually
throughout California.
This is therapy that feels human. Not clinical, not rushed, and not one-size-fits-all. You bring your lived experience and insight. I bring clinical expertise, curiosity, and care. Together, we create genuine change.
ANXIETY THERAPY
Anxiety feels like constant worry, racing thoughts, tension in your body, or the sense that you’re always bracing for something. Therapy sessions offer a calm, supportive space to safely slow down, understand what’s fueling your stress, and learn how to regulate your mind and body. Using a blend of evidence-based tools, EMDR, and practical strategies, I help you understand the roots cause of the anxiety so you can feel more grounded, clear, and steady in your daily life.
-
In sessions, we’ll explore the patterns, triggers, and physical sensations that keep your body stuck in tension. Sessions may include grounding techniques, nervous system regulation, cognitive strategies for managing spiraling thoughts, and EMDR to go below the surface. You’ll get tools you can actually use day-to-day, along with steady support as you learn to feel calmer and more in control.
-
This work is helpful if you experience chronic worry, overthinking, restlessness, panic symptoms, irritability, difficulty concentrating, or the feeling that your mind rarely slows down. Many people seek anxiety therapy when life feels overwhelming, when their usual coping skills stop working, or when stress starts impacting sleep, relationships, focus, or confidence.
-
Sessions are 50 minutes and available both in person in West Los Angeles and online throughout California. Together we move at your pace, focusing on skills and insights that help you feel more regulated and empowered in your daily life. Anxiety therapy offers a grounded space to understand your patterns and build lasting tools for calm and clarity.
RELATIONSHIP ANXIETY + ATTACHMENT
Relationship anxiety can show up as overthinking, fearing distance, feeling easily triggered, or worrying you’re “too much” or “not enough.” Attachment often plays a role in how we respond in relationships, especially if you tend toward anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, or a mix of both. In therapy, we slow down these patterns so you can understand what’s actually happening underneath your reactions. Using evidence-based tools, EMDR, and attachment-focused work, I help you build a more grounded, secure sense of self so relationships feel clearer, more balanced, and less overwhelming.
-
In therapy for relationship anxiety and attachment issues, we explore what gets activated for you in closeness, conflict, or emotional uncertainty. We look at the patterns shaped by earlier experiences, how your nervous system responds in relationships, and the beliefs that drive your fears or shutdowns. Sessions may include understanding triggers, practicing healthier communication, learning grounding tools for moments of activation, and developing a secure internal foundation that helps you feel more steady in connection.
-
This work is helpful if you experience anxious spiraling in relationships, difficulty trusting, fear of abandonment, shutting down when you get close to someone, or feeling caught between wanting closeness and needing space. Many people seek therapy when they notice repeated patterns in dating, long-term relationships, breakups, or transitions. It’s also supportive if you identify with anxious attachment, avoidant attachment, or if you’re unsure where you fit but know that relationships feel harder than they should.
-
Sessions are 50 minutes and offered both in person in West Los Angeles and online throughout California. Together we work at your pace to create a more secure emotional foundation, understand your patterns, and build the tools and insight you need to feel more grounded and confident in your relationships. Whether you’re dating, in a long-term partnership, or navigating a breakup or major transition, attachment-focused therapy helps you move toward clarity, connection, and emotional steadiness.
TRAUMA THERAPY + EMDR
Trauma can leave residual emotional patterns, disconnection from yourself or overwhelming reactions that don’t match the present moment. Trauma and EMDR therapy helps your brain process painful or stressful experiences in a way that “recategorizes” trauma memories to reduce emotional intensity. In trauma therapy, we focus on helping your nervous system feel safer, calmer, and more grounded so you can move through life with more clarity and confidence. Whether the trauma was a single event or something that built up over time, healing is possible.
-
Trauma therapy and EMDR offer a structured, supportive approach to healing. Sessions can include resourcing and grounding skills, nervous system regulation, identifying stuck memories or patterns, and using EMDR to process the experiences your brain hasn’t fully digested. We move slowly and intentionally, making sure you feel supported at every step. Over time, EMDR can help reduce triggers, soften emotional reactivity, and bring a sense of safety and steadiness back into your daily life.
-
This work is for anyone who has experienced overwhelming events, emotional neglect, difficult relationships, ongoing stress, or moments that left a lasting imprint. Trauma therapy and EMDR can support people who feel easily triggered, overwhelmed, disconnected, numb, hypervigilant, or stuck in old patterns that no longer serve them. Many clients seek EMDR to heal attachment wounds, relationship trauma, childhood experiences, or the emotional residue of past events that continue to impact their present.
-
Sessions are 50 minutes and available both in person in West Los Angeles and online across California, depending on what feels safest for you. EMDR can be integrated into regular talk therapy or used as a more focused treatment for specific memories or patterns. Together we’ll work at your pace, building the tools and internal support you need to feel more regulated, grounded, and empowered throughout your healing process.
THERAPY FOR BRIDES
Wedding planning can bring up emotions you didn’t expect. Even in loving relationships, the pressure, decisions, family dynamics, and constant expectations can make this season feel overwhelming. Many brides notice old fears, people-pleasing patterns, or relationship anxiety getting louder as the big day gets closer. Therapy for brides offers a nonjudgmental, supportive space to understand what’s coming up, stay connected to yourself, and move through this transition with more clarity, calm, and confidence.
-
Therapy for wedding anxiety explores the complex emotional layers beneath the stress. It’s a time of significant pressure to meet everyone’s expectations, navigate boundaries with family, worry about the relationship, or feel overstimulated by planning. Sessions can include grounding tools, attachment-focused work, EMDR for deeper triggers, and strategies for staying connected to yourself during a busy and emotional season. Together we create space for you to slow down, breathe, and feel more steady during this major life milestone.

This work is for brides who feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally activated during wedding planning and want a space where they can say whatever they’re thinking or feeling without worrying about offending anyone. It’s especially helpful if you’re navigating people-pleasing tendencies, perfectionism, family tension, relationship worries, or the pressure to make every decision “perfect.” Therapy for brides is also supportive if old triggers, attachment patterns, or deeper fears surface during this major life transition and you want a safe, judgment-free place to process it all.
