Providing PSYCHOTHERAPY & CONSULTATION via Online secure Webcam Sessions

Anxiety, perfectionism, loneliness, & relationship issues are common reasons for beginning therapy. Striving for perfection to make up for self-doubts and insecurities can leave us stressed, exhausted and unfulfilled, despite our successes. When we create more space to appreciate who we are, flaws and all, we can pursue excellence from a place of strength and confidence.
I offer online therapy via secure HIPAA-compliant webcam sessions from the convenience and protection of your own space — especially those living in West Hollywood and surrounding areas.
Living in West Hollywood can be challenging for both single individuals and those in a relationship due to the expectations, pressures, and obstacles that come with the city's fast-paced lifestyle. Psychotherapy can help individuals and couples navigate these challenges by providing a safe space to explore and process their emotions, identify and challenge negative thought patterns, and develop healthy coping mechanisms to manage stress and anxiety. Through psychotherapy, clients can gain a better understanding of themselves and their relationships, and develop the tools necessary to thrive in the unique cultural landscape of Los Angeles.

MEETING YOUR BEST FRIEND
Learning to treat ourselves as we would a best friend brings compassion, instead of criticism. The relationship we developed with ourselves over the course of many years, requires deep reflection alongside someone we trust.
Contemplation of what has led us to our present circumstances gives the freedom to make informed choices. This leads us to love, connection and the pure enjoyment of life.

I've dedicated this blog section with you in mind to find greater self-compassion & authenticity.
The LGBTQ+ community is a diverse group of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other identities that fall outside of the traditional heterosexual and cisgender norms. Unfortunately, this community continues to face significant discrimination, stigma, and marginalization, which leads to various health disparities, including mental health issues.
As an LGBTQ+ affirmative therapist, I believe that it's essential to recognize the unique strengths, challenges and experiences that LGBTQ+ individuals face and provide affirmative psychotherapy that is sensitive to their needs. Affirmative psychotherapy creates a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without fear of judgment or discrimination.
LGBTQ+ clients deserve a therapist that isn't just "friendly" but truly knowledgable enough to address what's going on with them, without overemphasizing or ignoring/minimizing their sexual identity or gender identity/expressions.

In addition, I focus on addressing minority stress, which is the chronic stress experienced by marginalized groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals, couples and families. Addressing minority stress in therapy can help individuals to develop coping mechanisms and strategies to deal with the stressors they face. I also believe in focusing on the strengths and resilience of my clients in therapy. This approach helps to build self-esteem and promote a positive self-image, which can be particularly beneficial for LGBTQ+ individuals who have faced significant challenges in their lives.

As a fellow psychotherapist, I cannot recommend James highly enough. His warmth, tremendously high level of skill, consistent professionalism and obvious commitment to exceptional work make him a delight to have as a colleague and an obvious choice for referrals. You will be in good hands.
