Individual Therapy in Los Angeles

Combining psychological insight and practical strategies, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the clinical practice of providing structured, evidence-based interventions, individualized treatment planning, and ongoing support for individuals experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. As a psychotherapist, I specialize in helping clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns, shift maladaptive behaviors, and build healthier coping strategies that promote long-term emotional well-being. I offer compassionate and professional care, whether you're seeking short-term guidance or ongoing personal therapy sessions. 

​

CBT is considered the gold standard of psychotherapy for a wide range of mental health concerns. Clients in CBT receive a treatment plan that targets specific thought patterns and behaviors contributing to their difficulties. As a licensed therapist in Los Angeles, I work collaboratively with clients to improve their self-esteem, develop resilience, and cultivate skills to navigate stressors effectively. Individual therapy sessions provide a safe environment where you can work with a licensed therapist to better understand yourself and develop effective coping strategies. I use research-supported techniques to holistically support clients in achieving meaningful change. As a licensed psychotherapist, I also collaborate with other providers, when appropriate, to ensure coordinated care and progress. Working with a licensed therapist allows you to receive individualized support for concerns such as:

• Anxiety and frustration tolerance

• Life transitions and career changes

• Relationship challenges

• Grief and loss

• Self-esteem and confidence issues

• Emotional regulation and mindfulness

​

The goals of CBT include helping clients recognize and challenge distorted thinking, develop healthier ways of responding to emotions, increase behavioral activation, and strengthen the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions.
