If you grew up surrounded by unsupportive relationships at home, either witnessing or directly experiencing ongoing conflictual, combative, or judgment-laden communication patterns (or perhaps YOU became a target of blame at home), you may have emerged into adolescence and/or adulthood with some deeply ingrained negative beliefs about yourself that can often be hard to shake. Early experiences during childhood can leave deeply imprinted and often limiting worldviews; disrupting the development of healthy self-esteem, self-confidence, and may impact your overall sense of personal agency, which may continue to cause difficulties in your day-to-day life. Attachment wounds from long ago may continue to frustrate your best efforts to establish healthy and satisfying friendships and/or romantic relationships, as you simply do the best you know how to make sense of what happened to you. 

​

If you did not grow up with adults who understood how to regulate difficult emotions or who seemed unable to navigate differences with others; who may not have possessed the emotional skills needed to approach problem-solving with a solution-oriented mindset, or if the adults you grew up with struggled communicating both clearly and with respect- where would you possibly have had the opportunity to learn these crucial life skills, if not at home? It is completely normal to feel “stuck” in your life, to feel “unlovable”, to question your worth, or to struggle to even know where to begin on your path to heal. 
What you have been through is NOT who you are. If what you’ve been doing isn’t working for YOU- it isn’t working! I understand it can feel scary to make changes, and I’m here to gently remind you that the scariest place for you to be in 6 months is the same place you are today. Don’t worry, you don’t need to untangle all this alone. Are you ready to get proactive about prioritizing your mental health and to finally try doing things differently (to achieve different results)? 

In therapy together, I will support your deeper self-exploration and guide you towards transformational healing as an “expert companion”; by your side at each step while you learn to regulate your nervous system and finally make sense of your life, while beginning the inner-work to rediscover your self-compassion and confidence, as you step into your highest potential, yet. Imagine how different your life could be if you finally stepped up as the Main Character in your own story.

If you are ready to show up for yourself, to get proactive about your healing, and to GLOW UP - it’s time. I am currently accepting new clients and have immediate availability for therapy sessions until 10pm, Monday-Friday. Office located in Woodland Hills, with virtual availability for telehealth across California. Call today for your FREE 15-minute phone or video consultation. I look forward to working with you. You are not alone.
