In dealing with daily life stressors and the inevitable twists and turns of the human experience, many of us can benefit from therapy at some point or another. When it comes to finding a therapist, Burbank, CA with its central location in the San Fernando valley and proximity to LA offers a wider variety of choice than more rural parts of California. However, finding the right therapist can be difficult, even in a populous city area. 

In the field of psychotherapy there are a multitude of evidence-based therapeutic approaches that can be more or less effective depending on the challenges being addressed. On top of that, therapy can be intensely personal…what constitutes a wonderful therapist to one individual may not be apparent to another. The type of therapy and the kind of therapist that meets your standards may not necessarily be accessible or available nearby. That’s where online therapy can help. 

Online therapy through BetterHelp offers access to over 30,000 mental health professionals that specialize in a variety of approaches, and have experience working with diverse populations. Whether you are looking for acceptance and commitment therapy to process past traumas, or seeking inner calm through cognitive behavioral therapy, simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that meets your individual needs. And because an essential factor in therapeutic alliance can be to feel comfortable being your true self, if you need to switch therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can also be a practical solution for busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions can fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can talk to your therapist from the comfort of your own home or office..

Sometimes people need a little help in life to deal with stress, anxiety, depression, and/or behavioral or physical challenges. As life can sometimes knock you down, fate has led you to me to help you navigate your specific journey. As a California licensed therapist, I have assisted clients in managing their stress and anxiety, getting around their depression, and making behavioral changes so that they can regain a sense of control. I also have experience working through relationship challenges, including but not limited to family, significant others and/or work-related. Coping with grief & loss, motivation, self-esteem/confidence, and disability challenges are just a few areas of my extensive working knowledge. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and will always encourage free expression. Most of my clients are healthy, successful people who may simply be a bit stuck and want the support of their own personal therapist/coach to work around their challenges; some just need coping skills. As a therapist, I help clients cope with mental, emotional, and physical challenges, create specific therapies and exercises, and develop plans for ongoing care. As a certified life coach, I help people move forward and set personal and/or professional goals to assist them in achieving the life they really want.

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300
  • With a clinician: $100
