Therapy for Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression are often two sides of the same coin, a fear and misery that makes life unnecessarily painful or makes life seem not worth living. It’s not necessary to stay that way — these issues are highly amenable to the right treatment. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with years of experience helping people cope with and recover from anxiety and depression. I serve the West Los Angeles area using the research on what works to inform the therapy I provide for anxiety and depression.
Evidence-Based Practices
The evidence on what makes therapy work is complex, but we are certain that therapy is highly effective in helping people cope with and recover from anxiety and depression. I use a broad evidence base to inform the practices I use to deliver results. My approach to psychotherapy is shaped by feedback informed treatment, which is based on research demonstrating that client input significantly improves the outcomes of psychotherapy. Therapy has many tools and approaches that are helpful in getting you where you want to go.
A Personalized Approach
Research has shown that psychotherapy practices adapted to patient preference deliver improved treatment outcomes. To provide personalized therapy for anxiety and depression, I work closely with each individual to figure out what works for them in order to meet the needs that led them to seek out help. I am interested in building effective alliances and real relationships in therapy, as these are essential elements in the process of change in developing a life worth living.
