Forgiveness and Closure Therapist in Venice

Release the Weight. Make Peace with the Past. Free Yourself to Move Forward.

In our therapy sessions, we will explore:

    •    Processing betrayal, abandonment, or deep emotional wounds

    •    Understanding the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation

    •    Letting go of self-blame, regret, or guilt

    •    Creating boundaries to protect your healing

    •    Exploring grief, anger, and unmet needs without judgment

    •    Finding peace when apologies never come

    •    Reclaiming your power and identity after pain

    •    Moving forward without carrying the emotional burden of the past

Forgiveness isn’t about forgetting what happened or excusing harmful behavior—it’s about releasing yourself from the grip of resentment, anger, and pain. Whether you’re struggling to forgive someone else, yourself, or life itself, the path to closure is personal, non-linear, and deeply healing.

As a licensed psychotherapist and former medical doctor, I help individuals explore what forgiveness means for them—with no pressure, no spiritual bypassing, and no shame. Closure doesn’t always come from the people who hurt us—it comes from within—through boundary-setting and emotional resolution.

Forgiveness isn’t a one-time act—it’s a process of liberation. And it’s not for them—it’s for you. Let’s help you find peace with what was, so you can live more freely in what is.

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.
