You’re used to managing on your own. Even when life looks “fine” from the outside, the emotional toll can be exhausting.

Therapy is not just about coping—it’s about understanding what’s beneath the surface and creating meaningful, lasting change.

About Rebecca

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 78955) based in West Los Angeles, offering in-person therapy locally and virtual therapy throughout California.

My work focuses on individuals navigating infertility and fertility treatment, healing from sexual trauma, and moving through life transitions that feel more complex or isolating than expected.

Many of my clients are accustomed to holding things together on the outside while internally feeling overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected.

Therapy creates space to slow down, process what you’ve been carrying, and make sense of experiences that may feel difficult to fully articulate. Through this process, we begin to understand how these patterns have taken shape and how they continue to influence your relationship to yourself, others, and the world, making change possible.

Approach

My work integrates evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and somatic modalities such as Attachment-Focused EMDR and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy.

This allows for processing not only at a cognitive level, but also within the body, where many patterns take shape and persist over time.

Getting Started

Finding the right therapist matters.

If it does, you can move forward with scheduling your first appointment. If not, other community referrals can be provided.
