Do you feel like you're just surviving and not thriving?
As partners, friends, family members (and all the roles in-between), we can feel pressure to keep it all together and meet everyone else's expectations. We keep the peace and prioritize others' needs over our own. What this can lead to is perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overachieving while feeling stuck and unsatisfied inside.
If you've ever asked "why does it always go this way?" in relationships, felt anxiety live in your chest like a permanent resident, or stayed busy achieving just to still feel disconnected from yourself and the people around you, I understand where you are coming from. You are not alone in this and I invite you slow down and redefine what identity means to you.
How I Can Help
I take a humanistic, trauma-informed approach that treats you as a whole person, not a diagnosis. Using EMDR, somatic work, and evidence-based therapy, we go beyond talking about your problems to actually shifting them.
Act Therapy is a fully virtual psychotherapy practice based in Los Angeles. I provide secure online therapy to adults located throughout California, including Los Angeles and surrounding communities.

My work focuses on helping adults understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck in anxiety, relationships, self-doubt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing.
