Grief very often leads, directly or indirectly, to financial challenges that are emotional, spiritual and ultimately material to the real world.

As both a Certified Financial Therapist and a Certified Grief Educator, I help clients navigate their relationship with money in the full context of their grief, with deep empathy and understanding, to get to a better place of peace and acceptance, and ultimately to identify and achieve meaningful and realistic goals.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been in this profession for over 14 years. My experience has been working with children, teens, and adults from different socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnicities. I feel passionate about providing support to help navigate imposter syndrome, first-generation challenges, stress management, work-life balance, and career issues. I have extensive experience working with clients facing grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, and parenting. I specialize in providing culturally competent and solution-focused psychotherapy. I am also a certified yoga teacher and I implement yoga with my clients.

I offer individual therapy for children, adolescents and adults.  I also offer family therapy, one-on-one grief support, and parenting support.  My services are currently virtual but if you are open to services in nature we can meet in person.

Hello and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Dara, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #94374) based in Los Angeles, CA.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or low self-esteem, I’m here to walk beside you. My goal in therapy is to create a partnership—a space where we journey together toward greater awareness, self-compassion, and lasting change. My approach is holistic, trauma-sensitive, and integrative, drawing on multiple evidence-based practices.

Throughout my clinical work and life experiences, I’ve had the privilege of working with people from diverse racial, gender, cultural, and sexual identities. My practice welcomes individuals of all backgrounds, religions, ages, and abilities. Being human is challenging and none of us are meant to navigate it alone. I’m here to help.

I offer online individual therapy to adults living anywhere in California.

I offer therapy and coaching services for people experiencing stress, trauma, or grief.
