Awareness is where change begins; integration is where it lasts.
Meet Roz, a licensed psychotherapist (LMFT #134886) supporting adults navigating anxiety, identity, and relationships through life’s transitions
True healing begins beneath the surface.
Our symptoms often speak the language of protection; patterns formed to keep us safe, even when they no longer serve us. My work is rooted in helping you slow down enough to understand these parts of yourself with compassion, so real and lasting change can take root.
I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT #134886) and the founder of Mental Wealth LA. My background spans residential and outpatient treatment centers, college mental health services, and private practice, allowing me to integrate both depth and practicality in my approach. I received my B.A. in Communication Studies from Loyola Marymount University and my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University.
My approach is collaborative, integrative, and depth-oriented. I draw from EMDR, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed frameworks to explore how past experiences shape present patterns. Together, we move beyond surface-level coping, getting to the roots of your struggles, bringing awareness to the parts that need healing, and integrating that awareness into lasting change.
Together, we integrate awareness into action so that you can move through what’s been holding you back and live in alignment with your values, truth, and sense of self.
My approach
My work combines evidence-based therapy with deep nervous-system attunement.
What does that mean for you?
It means therapy with me goes beyond learning tools — it’s about cultivating awareness and connection with the parts of you that may have been buried under stress, pressure, or survival mode.
I integrate psychodynamic therapy, nervous-system education, trauma-informed care, and reflective exploration to support your process of understanding and integration.
In simple terms: together we explore what’s underneath the surface and gently stay with what arises, allowing space for your system to find regulation and balance at its own pace.
This process can look different each session; sometimes it’s insight-oriented and emotional, other times reflective, light, or creative. Each moment has meaning; all of it is part of the work.
We might be a good fit if…
You’ve built a life that looks put together, but inside you’re questioning what’s next.
You find yourself stuck in familiar cycles of self-doubt, perfectionism, or anxiety.
You’re in the middle of a transition (career, identity, or relationship) and craving more meaning and direction.
You’re thoughtful, introspective, and ready to gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
You want therapy that goes beyond surface coping and helps you shift the patterns and beliefs keeping you stuck.
