Hi, I'm TJ.

I'm a licensed therapist, incurable validator, and imperfection enthusiast in West Los Angeles working with adults looking to build tangible, impactful skills for coping with anxiety or stress stemming from perfectionistic thinking or managing a transition (divorce, career).

​

​If you feel like you can ever be quite good enough, it could be perfectionistic thinking, which looks different for everyone - criticizing a partner, shame and sadness from screwing up at work...maybe your self-esteem takes a hit every time you think about that time you said that cringey thing in THAT group.

​

We spend so much of our time with ourselves - pretty much all of it, wouldn't you say?

 

​My mission is to help you to make the space between your ears a kinder, more supportive, and ultimately a more powerful place for you. 

​

I've created an approach that puts you in the driver's seat to develop a more self-supportive, more powerful story about your own experience using elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and self-compassion. My mission is to empower you to manage anxiety by controlling what you can, and reframing what you can't so that you're responding mindfully, not simply reacting.

​

By integrating principles of self-compassion, existential therapeutic modalities, and tangible teachable skills from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, together we can put you in the driver's seat to develop a more self-compassionate, more self-supportive, and more powerful you.
