Life Transitions
Psychodynamic & Depth Therapist Los Angeles
When all of a sudden everything is different..
Liminal space is the uncertain and murky transition between who you have been and who you are becoming. There are certain obvious rites of passage like getting married, becoming a parent, or empty-nesting, but there are so many other threshold moments where a person's identity can shift including divorce, death of a loved one, illness, career changes, coming out of the closet, or religious deconstruction.
​
In these times, the ways we have approached the world stop working for us as effectively and we're left scrambling to find some footing to stand on. It's hard to find someone who really gets what you're going through. It can be terrifying and lonely. Whether you have chosen this transition or it has been imposed upon you, grief and confusion are a natural part of the process as you discover who you want to become. These changes are an invitation to reconnect with yourself and to shrug off the ways of being that haven't been working for you.
​
You're not in this alone! Together we'll explore who you are without this aspect former identity, discover the meaning you are making from your circumstances, process grief, anger, and other emotions your are experiencing, and challenge unhelpful beliefs that complicate how you respond to circumstances and the people in your life. By reconnecting with yourself, you'll create an opportunity for intention about how you want to move forward. You'll discover your true self, increase your sense of self-compassion, and make choices that feel authentic and life-giving.
To be ourselves causes us to be exiled by many others, and yet to comply with what others want causes us to be exiled to ourselves.

Fees & payment
Therapy is $250 for 50-minute sessions. I believe that therapy should be accessible and have sliding scale spots reserved for those with demonstrated needs.
Payment is accepted in the form of Zelle, Venmo, and all major credit cards. Payment is due in full at the time of service.
I am considered an out-of-network provider by insurance companies. Some insurance companies will issue the client a reimbursement to cover a portion of the cost of sessions. If you would like to use your insurance, please contact your insurance or employee benefits provider and check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:
​
-
Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
-
What is my deductible and has it been met?
-
How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
-
What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
-
Is approval required from my primary care physician?
