Teletherapy for 90247

I have the usual psychological training and education that you would expect from a Licensed therapist, but I also bring life experience into each session. We all know that some of the solutions people discover in a therapy session don't really work in the real world. I believe that solutions that last are solutions that work in multiple environments. I believe that all real change takes hard work and consistency, but on the other hand, if all we do is work hard in ways that do not make sense, eventually we will go back to the old ways. I believe in working hard to achieve lasting success and satisfaction.

To everyone around you, it looks like you have it all together – the job, the relationship, friends, trips – but inside you know it’s a different story. No one quite knows the real story, and if you were to tell them they wouldn’t understand. Between shutting down and rushing to make up for wasted time, you find yourself overwhelmed, frustrated, hopeless and lonely under your own skin. You wake up each day to start the same cycle yet again. At some point, you realize breaking the cycle is needed. After all, this is not a dress rehearsal, this is your life.
