Anxiety Therapists in 93062

I am a clinical psychologist who works with individual adults facing a variety of challenges such as depression, anxiety, stress, sadness, low self esteem and relationship difficulties. I listen carefully, create space to explore, and work collaboratively. I work with my clients to identify patterns, conflicts, and obstacles that may be keeping them stuck, and/or preventing them from making changes for the better. In addition to obtaining my Ph.D. in clinical psychology with an emphasis in multicultural and community clinical psychology, I recently completed a two year long psychoanalytic psychotherapy training program.

I believe that each person has the capacity to grow emotionally and create satisfying relationships both with themselves and others. I do this by addressing and resolving old pain and paying attention to the ways in which you continue to be stuck in patterns of behavior that no longer bring a desired response from the world. I am psychoanalytically trained and bring in your past experiences only as much as they continue to influence your present life. I will also help you address any crises and ongoing issues you are struggling with.

I believe that change is possible for anyone who wants it. It is my passion to help you on your journey to a joyful and satisfying life. I do this by using cognitive behavioral techniques and providing a safe and loving environment in which to heal old wounds and give you tools to manage your current challenges. This includes; anxiety, depression, addiction, food and body issues, or relational problems. Wherever you find yourself I can help you to develop a compassionate view of yourself and empower you to take steps towards getting your unmet needs fulfilled.

As a strengths-based therapist, I believe in working alongside my clients to help them feel empowered and to develop a more positive sense of self. While life stressors and adjustments are inevitable, I create a safe therapeutic environment for my clients to access and strengthen their resilience in the face of challenges. I work with couples, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression, relationship and self-esteem issues, life adjustments, and trauma-related symptoms. I am fundamentally a client-centered therapist, and my first priority is to cultivate a connection with my clients that is built upon trust.

Dr. van der Kolk writes that "Being able to feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives." My approach to therapy is grounded in this concept. I believe that healing from emotional suffering takes place when the client feels deeply heard and understood. I believe that effective therapy is a collaborative process between client and therapist and that my job is to hold the space for my clients to explore the fears and anxieties that impede their growth and sense of well being.

Through our time together you are not only going to experience relief from distressing symptoms, but you will also discover your ultimate life purpose.

Is sharing your life with a stranger comfortable for you? It's not easy for anyone and yet from my own experience and from the testimony of others (clients/friends/family), therapy has proven to be a positive life-changing experience that I would want for you. I count it a privilege to be invited into your life and heart and I wouldn't take that lightly. My goals are to make therapy a "safe place" by welcoming you with empathy, validation, affirmation, assistance and tender care (the way we all want to be treated). Maybe you're suffering from trauma or loss or hurt or...please give me an opportunity to work with you to make your life a new and safe place. I also offer faith-based counseling.

I understand that everyone goes through life differently, and I am here to help you navigate those differences! I specialize in treating high school, college, and graduate students, and those experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low motivation, and post-traumatic stress.

This means I have an empathetic, non-judgemental, and unconditional positive regard, while also incorporating neuroscience and psychology to help validate and explain what you are experiencing.

When do you feel like the best version of yourself? What gives you a sense of purpose or meaning in your life? When do you feel most alive and connected?

You may be feeling as though what you are experiencing has no meaning and you're drowning, and you're not sure where to go to find relief or support, or even just a listening ear. I currently work with young adults and older to find that purpose for the pain, as well as identify the skills to cope. We usually look to therapy once we realize we can’t do it on our own. I work to support you through those difficult experiences. A safe space and someone to trust can make a huge difference in how comfortable we feel in challenging ourselves and feeling those emotions we would do anything to simply avoid.
