Hi! I’m Theodora. I’m a therapist in Los Angeles by way of New York. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, adoption and self-esteem issues. I also am pleased to offer psychedelic integration services to help you turn insights from a ketamine, psilocybin or other psychedelic journey into your everyday life.

I also believe we've all experienced some kind of grief in our lives, whether it is due to death, divorce, job loss, breakups…or living through a pandemic.

I believe that working on your mental health is one of the bravest and most important things you can do for yourself. There's stuff in your life—from the present or, often, from the past—that doesn't feel good. It takes courage to look at that and begin to move forward.

Even positive change can be scary if you are used to chaos. I want to support you in moving away from that disconnect with yourself (and/or others) and towards the life you want.

I’ll start with unconditional positive regard for you—which are just fancy psychology words for accepting you where you are at, unconditionally.

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.”
— Carl Rogers

Together, we’ll help you rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself—or you’ve been told—about who you are so that it fits who you are today, or who you want to be.

(And don’t worry if you have no idea who you want to be—part of the work is exploring new ways of being you might have never thought possible!)

I operate from trauma-informed and culturally humble lenses, meaning I understand the depth of the effects trauma and marginalization can have on your psyche.
