Therapy with cultural understanding!
Romanian-speaking therapist
While I’ve lived in Los Angeles for most of my life, I was born in Romania and raised in a Romanian-speaking household, with Romanian and Armenian heritage and cultural awareness. I offer therapy sessions in Romanian for clients who feel most comfortable expressing themselves in their native language. Sharing cultural and language familiarity can make therapy feel more natural and supportive, especially when exploring family relationships, identity, and life experiences.
Armenian Cultural Background
As someone with an Armenian background and upbringing within Armenian culture, I understand the values, family dynamics, and cultural expectations that can shape identity, relationships, and mental health. I offer a culturally attuned space where you don’t have to explain the basics. While do I not speak Armenian, this cultural familiarity can help therapy feel more natural, supportive, and effective.
Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP)
Take Control of Anxiety with Proven, Personalized Support
You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, uncertainty, and self-doubt. You give so much of yourself to others, striving to be a good person, yet still end up feeling used, alone, and misunderstood. Past hurts may have left you questioning whether you can truly trust others - or even yourself.
You might struggle with a deep sense of not belonging, feeling unworthy, or never being "good enough." Despite your efforts to hold onto hope, self-doubt lingers, making it hard to feel secure in your choices. In an attempt to regain control, you may find yourself grasping at stability in ways that don’t always serve you. Perhaps you’re unsure why you feel the way you do, how you got here, or how to find a way forward.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Together, we can explore these feelings, untangle the patterns that keep you stuck, and work toward a path of healing, clarity, and self-acceptance.
Shame-Informed Therapy for Anxiety: Breaking Free from Self-Doubt
Anxiety and shame often go hand in hand, creating a cycle of self-doubt, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion. You may find yourself constantly questioning your worth, feeling like you don’t belong, or fearing that others will see the “real” you and reject you. Maybe you try to manage your anxiety by seeking control wherever possible yet still feel powerless and stuck.
Shame can make you believe that you are the problem - that your struggles are a personal failing rather than a natural response to difficult experiences. You may have been told that "you're the common theme in your relationships," reinforcing feelings of blame and self-criticism. But anxiety and shame aren’t reflections of your worth - they are responses to wounds that haven’t yet healed.
In our work together, we will focus on understanding the deeper roots of your anxiety and shame, helping you move beyond self-judgment and toward self-compassion. Through shame-informed therapy, you will learn how to break free from patterns of avoidance, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, replacing them with self-trust and emotional resilience. Over time, you can develop a sense of inner safety, navigate relationships with confidence, and reclaim your life from fear and self-doubt.
Complex Trauma Informed Therapist
Break Free from the Past - Begin Healing from Trauma
Complex trauma often stems from repeated or long-term experiences - especially in childhood or close relationships - that leave deep emotional scars. You may find yourself feeling stuck in patterns of shame, self-doubt, or emotional overwhelm. In our work together, we’ll gently untangle the past, build safety in the present, and help you reconnect with a stronger, more grounded sense of self. Healing is possible - and you don’t have to do it alone.
My Commitment to You
People can leave a therapist’s office feeling as lost as when they walked in. In our session, we focus on better understanding your needs to help you feel connected to yourself and your partner.
