Beachy Feels Therapy: Redondo Beach Therapist Specializing in College Students, Women & Couples

Finding a therapist based off of a website bio or Psychology Today profile can be overwhelming and even a little discouraging at times. 

How are you supposed to find the "right" therapist just based off of their website bio or psychology today?

My hope is to make this first step towards healing as easy as possible because I know just getting yourself to a first session can seem challenging enough. 

While I believe in the value of different therapeutic approaches, I find that nothing is as essential as the relationship you have with your therapist—how safe and comfortable you feel in their presence is what truly makes the difference.

As someone who has had some amazing therapists myself, I know that the best therapists are ones that know when to give us support and encouragement and when to challenge us to step out of our comfort zone when necessary.

My clients know that I show up in the room as completely myself. I will hold space for you to be vulnerable and do my best to be as supportive, loving and encouraging as possible. But, I will also be honest. I will hold you accountable when you need it and be your biggest cheerleader when you need that too. 

My hope is that you'll find a safe space here where you can engage in the meaningful, challenging work of therapy.

Chances are if you’ve found yourself here you’re looking to do more “research” to find the best therapist for you or a loved one.
