Family Therapy in 90004

Perhaps you are down, anxious, struggling with triggers from traumatic memories, unsure about the future of a relationship, trying to adjust to a new chapter of your life, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to live. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer the support you need in a safe and non-judgmental manner. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and in my sessions I promote behavioral transformation by encouraging the adoption of new perspectives and reactions.

I help people connect with themselves. I support those that are courageously seeking solace in their humanity. When your identity is wrapped up in something external; it can consume and confuse your sense of self. Not being grounded in our sense of self is precisely what impacts our mental health. Who are you? Who have you become? Are you engaging in your passion? How do you operate yourself? These are a few of the questions that start to become foggy when we are disconnected from ourselves and our inspirations and motivations.

"When we close ourselves off, we're not just closing ourselves off to other people, we're closing ourselves off from ourselves and impeding ourselves.

Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

Hi, I'm Sarah, a Licensed Clinical Counselor practicing since 2015. In 2018 I moved from Atlanta, GA, to sunny Orange County, California, where I currently reside. I have always had a passion for guiding and supporting youth. My primary specialties are depression, anxiety, grief, and loss. I work with children ages 6-10, adolescents, and young adults up to age 35. I am comprehensive in my therapy approach and adapt to each client's individual needs. I work from a family system and solution-focused based framework.

Clients come to me for deeper understanding of themselves. Often, the process involved is about looking at all of the puzzle pieces and fitting them together to create more clarity and expansion. I work with individuals and couples to help them discover their greatest assets and work through areas of growth in a compassionate manner. In couples work, I offer couples assessments to gain perspective on issues as well as workbooks and tools for conflict resolution and better communication. I especially appreciate working with premarital couples who are wanting to set a sturdy foundation for marriage in premarital counseling.

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/family issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.
