Shame and Self-Compassion Therapist

Let Go of Self-Blame. Embrace Your Humanity. Heal with Kindness.

In our therapy sessions, we will work on:

    •    Identifying shame-based beliefs and inner narratives

    •    Healing shame from childhood, trauma, or toxic environments

    •    Understanding the difference between guilt and shame

    •    Soothing the inner critic and cultivating self-compassion

    •    Reconnecting with your worth beyond performance or approval

    •    Learning to accept your imperfections with grace

    •    Creating space for forgiveness—of yourself and others

Shame is a powerful and painful emotion. It tells us we’re not good enough, not lovable, or somehow fundamentally flawed. It often hides beneath perfectionism, people-pleasing, self-criticism, or emotional numbing—and it can keep us stuck in silence, isolation, and self-doubt.

But there is a way out—and it starts with compassion.

As a therapist, I help individuals understand the roots of shame and gently replace it with self-understanding, acceptance, and kindness. You don’t need to be “fixed”—you need to be met with empathy and truth.

You are not the worst thing you’ve done, the hardest thing you’ve lived through, or the story shame tells you. You are worthy of love, belonging, and healing.

Let’s help you treat yourself with the same kindness you so easily give to others.

I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
