What's My Approach to Therapy?
When you are navigating the aftermath of relational betrayal or a significant shift in your closest connections, it often feels like the ground beneath you has disappeared. You may find yourself stuck in a cycle of hyper-vigilance, constantly over-analyzing the past, questioning your own intuition, and carrying a level of systemic exhaustion that "pushing through" can no longer fix. You aren't just looking for someone to listen; you are looking for a way to make sense of a world that has been structurally altered.
I provide a grounded, depth-oriented space designed to help you untangle the complexity of these experiences. My role is to be a steady, insightful witness and a guide as we look beneath the surface of your immediate distress. We don't just manage your symptoms; we work to understand the inner architecture of the patterns and protective roles you’ve adopted to survive.
Our work together is collaborative and process-driven. I draw from psychodynamic theory and nervous-system-informed care to help you bridge the gap between who you’ve had to be for others and who you actually are. By processing the roots of your "stuckness" and regulating the physiological impact of trauma, we create a path toward reclaiming your internal agency and a much steadier sense of self.
My Practice & Services
Mental Wealth LA is my private practice offering depth-oriented psychotherapy and group experiences for adults navigating anxiety, identity, and relationships through life’s transitions. My work extends beyond symptom management; I help clients understand the patterns and conditioning that shape their inner world, enabling them to create lasting change from the inside out.
In addition to individual therapy, I facilitate group sessions focused on self-awareness, identity exploration, and relational dynamics. These groups are designed to help participants gain insight into how they present themselves to others, develop emotional awareness, and practice authentic connection in a supportive, growth-oriented environment.
My Role as a Therapist
I approach therapy with a deep curiosity about each individual's inner world, seeking to understand the underlying processes that drive their struggles.
My role is to serve as a steady facilitator for your experience, providing a grounded container where you are no longer responsible for holding it all together. I am here to be deeply attuned to the nuances of your narrative and nervous system, spotting the patterns and protective defenses that are often difficult to see when you are in the midst of them.
I help you move past the looping thoughts and the systemic exhaustion that come with high-functioning survival. By "connecting the dots" between your history and your current "stuckness," I help you untangle the inner architecture of your distress. I am looking for the relational blueprints that once served you but are now contributing to your burnout.
More than just providing insight, my role is to create a space where your nervous system can finally begin to shift. By facilitating an environment of clinical depth and grounded presence, I help you move out of a state of constant reaction and hyper-vigilance. Together, we work to quiet the noise of external expectations so you can reclaim your internal agency and move toward a much steadier, more integrated sense of self.
