Therapists in San Dimas, CA

I have been practicing psychotherapy and counseling for more than twenty years. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and certified Jungian Analyst. My experience includes working with individuals, couples, and families who might be struggling with emotional and relationship difficulties, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and parent-child conflicts. I am available to conduct online/video sessions.

Maybe you're in a tough place in life and need some help finding a direction. Or perhaps you're struggling to find connection, and support. Perhaps you're struggling with depression, and anxiety, and you're trying to feel something different. Or maybe, the current state of the world has affected you, your family or your children. We all suffer, and sometimes we need help, and I'd like to acknowledge you for trying to find an answer. Therapy can be place where we learn to address our suffering by taking power over it, through learning about what we can change. Are you ready for something different in your life?

It's difficult to find the right therapist, with the many different treatment approaches, personalities, and even worldviews. As a Catholic-Christian therapist, I know it's especially challenging to find a therapist who is professional and yet competent to understand the unique experiences and challenges of people of faith. There are many reasons why people might seek services, from feeling stuck to deeply hurting, or simply to pursue a greater degree of flourishing in one's life. Whatever the reason, it is my goal to provide the environment and relationship where healing and growth can occur.

I believe you're here for a reason, and that God has a purpose for you. Depression, anxiety, marital issues, eating disorders, and many other problems, keep us from living full lives. I became a therapist because I have a passion for helping people who are hurting, and want more out of life. I believe my greatest strength is helping people find the missing keys needed to make positive change. I believe I connect well with my clients by not judging them and by empathizing with their struggles. I am passionate about helping people find the happiness they're looking for.

I work best with anyone who is struggling to understand what the world is all about, why are we(me as a human/person) here on the earth, what is our/my purpose, how can I be happy and fulfilled, what are people all about, etc. The most difficult thing we will all be faced with is how do we deal/cope with people!

I offer straight forward individual, marriage, family and child therapy without the technical jargon. I'm into straight talk with people who are ready to make changes. I believe we all have the ability within us to change ourselves, so to me therapy is a collaborative effort. My therapeutic orientation is cognitive-behavioral as well as family systems, and I work from a spiritually-based approach for those who ask for it. I have special experience in a number of areas, such as military, trauma, domestic violence, and abuse. Ultimately, I provide the type of therapy that meets your needs.

I meet every day with people who are overcoming worry, depression, dissatisfaction and conflict to find greater joy, and fulfillment in their life.

My approach to psychotherapy is practical and interactive, providing the support and insight to help you resolve current issues and historical patterns. Through empathy and direct communication, I assist you in finding the solutions to life's adversities, challenges, and mental health.

At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

Are you seeking change in your life, would you like to feel better, become more empowered and have support along the way? All of this is possible. No matter where you're at in life or what your goals are you can get the support you need. My goal as a therapist is to help you live the life you want to live and be happy doing it. I specialize in helping people see things differently, recognize their strengths, set healthy goals with a plan to achieve them, and live a more fulfilling life that brings them happiness and peace.

I am here to help you navigate life's challenges, worries, and pitfalls that we all face as we go through the human experience. Stress, anxiety, low self worth, behavioral acting out, substance abuse, poor communication, trauma, depression, family conflicts, loss, crisis, and all of the diverse conflicts that we can experience through life can be hard on our own. These problems are best approached as a team. I would love to work together as we face them in a united front. I have experience that goes beyond the textbook and can relate to much of the challenges that life brings. Sincerity, compassion, and truly caring are fundamental.

I have been working in the mental health field for over 40 years. I started working in mental health facilities in my early 20's while I was in college. I have worked with adults and adolescents in all kinds of modalities, yet I seemed to focus more toward young people and their families with substance abuse problems and anxiety. Some of that stems from having to deal with my own addictions in my late teens and finally getting clean and sober at age 20. Thus, I understand what it is like to be overwhelmed by addiction and the need to engage in a recovery process.

You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. I work under the firm belief that trust is the most important factor in a client-therapist relationship. This occupation is so much more than just an job in for me...it is my passion. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California. I have been fortunate enough to help individuals from diverse cultural, sexual, religious, and ethnic backgrounds in their mental health recovery. My training has allowed me to develop a caring and collaborative approach to interventions and has exposed me to some of the most cutting-edge research-informed practices. I truly enjoy bringing the best of people back into their lives regardless of their age, identity, and cultural background.

As you move through these turbulent times, storms will come, and the heavy winds may blow. I am here to help navigate these times. I work with substance abuse, and mood issues such as depression and anxiety. If you've had traumas in your life in the past or present, come in and let's discuss them. I am also here to help with your family issues such as family conflicts with parents and children as well as couples and marriage counseling.
