Therapists in California

Если вы чувствуете себя в "тупике", беспомощным и одиноким, общение с профессионалом может помочь увидеть ситуацию под новым углом и найти решения. Я здесь, чтобы помочь вам ответить на такие вопросы, как: «Почему это произошло со мной?», «Почему это продолжает происходить со мной?» и, что еще важнее, «Как сделать мою жизнь лучше?» Путь познания себя - это самое тяжелый, но самый важный процесс в жизни. И я верю, что это ключ к её изменению. С деликатной помощью специалиста, вы проработаете свои переживания, почувствуете себя легче, измените взгляд на жизнь и себя.

Я подхожу к терапии с позиции признания первичной потребности человека найти смысл и цель в жизненных ситуациях и переживаниях, особенно болезненных. Доказано, что это абсолютно необходимо для психического благополучия и устойчивости, учитывая неизбежные изменения, с которыми мы все сталкиваемся в жизни. Поэтому, независимо от того, испытываете ли вы страдания в результате гнева, депрессии, тревоги, горя, зависимости, травмы или дистресса в отношениях, моя задача (с учетом моей подготовки и опыта) - дать вам инструменты для уменьшения страданий и показать, что в конце тоннеля есть свет.

Я в основном работаю с парами. Я также работаю с отдельными людьми и веду группы где люди могут вместе заживать в сообществе. Я люблю свою работу. Я считаю большой честью и привилегией быть вверенным тому, что происходит на самом деле. Я очень забочусь о том, чтобы терапия была полезной для вас. Я встречу вас именно там, где вы находитесь, с большим уважением. Затем мы работаем вместе, чтобы доставить вас туда, где вы хотите быть.

Я готов работать с Вами над созданием ситуации, в которой доверие, открытость и упорный поиск неизбежно помогут Вам осознать новые возможности и пути для преодоления трудностей. Пусть язык не будет преградой в этом процессе.

In my practice, I strive to create relationships with my clients that foster their growth and help them achieve their full potential. I value empathy and unconditional positive regard toward my clients. Understanding is called for when someone is hurting, confused, anxious, alienated, or doubtful of their self-worth. The gentle, empathic approach provides insight and healing. I respect the courage and vulnerability to come to therapy and try to take good care of my client's trust in me.

I provide evidence-based, compassionate, and supportive therapy treatment to individuals struggling with anxiety, dating, peer relationships, life transitions, and personal/career/school related development. My approaches include a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, coaching, and exposure therapy. I have a vast interest and experience in treating different areas and types of anxiety, assertiveness, panic, self-advocacy, dating, self esteem, and autism spectrum disorder.

With warmth, openness, compassion, and collaboration, I work to create a safe and supportive space to help individuals and families to overcome challenges, work through trauma, loss, and adversity, and manage difficult emotions, while uplifting their strengths and resilience. My areas of expertise include infant, early childhood, and perinatal mental health, complex trauma, issues related to parenting, disruptions in early attachment, and developmental/behavioral concerns.

My focus is on supporting individuals navigating through challenges such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, low self-esteem, life transitions, self-harm, and more.

I love my work! From helping teens navigate difficult emotions, to supporting adults through various life stages, I am here for you. I have been working in the mental health field since 2007.

If you've considered therapy before, now is the time to give it a try. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker having earned my Master of Social Work Degree from University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from California State University Northridge. Psychotherapy is both a helping relationship and a process of change, which overcomes problems and increases happiness. I provide psychotherapy to adults with concerns related to depression, anxiety, adjustments/life transitions, relational problems, school/work difficulties, women’s issues, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, parenting difficulties, and family conflict.

Perhaps you are at a point where something has got to change! You realized that your experience of life can be more full, but you’re not quite sure how to make that happen. You got on Psych Today and despite the doubt, you had a small twinkle of hope that believes that something different… something better is possible for you! As a therapist, I am your partner in growing that small spark into the blazing flame that you have deep inside you. Whether you are living with depression, anxiety, or trauma, I would be honored to support you in expanding your self-confidence and sense of connection and aliveness.

If you feel stuck by your past, if you worry about the future, if you second guess what steps to take in the present, help is available. Through a supportive and collaborative therapeutic relationship, it is possible to achieve a greater sense of emotional well-being, increased self-awareness, better intimate relationships and a more resilient state of emotional health. Using a modern and mindful approach to therapy, issues related to panic attacks, addictions, anxiety, depression and dysfunctional relationships are processed from a supportive, strengths-based position that helps facilitate insight and change.

Sometimes, our relationship to others, and ourselves, has lost its footing. We may even find ourselves feeling disconnected and overwhelmed by difficult emotions. Though we often push through life’s challenges alone, the truth is, we don’t have to. In our time together, I hope to collaborate with you in identifying the patterns, thoughts, and feelings that may be blocking you from a happy relationship to yourself and others, even if it feels beyond words at this time. I believe an environment of warmth, curiosity, and creativity can help us heal in ways we may have never thought possible.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Carl Gustav Jung. I think this Jung’s quote is the best answer to the questions: “What is therapy?”, “Do I need therapy?”, and “Why to be in therapy?”, this is the best place to start. When we find ourselves in the darkness, overwhelmed by depressed feelings or anxious thoughts, feeling helpless or maybe even feeling trapped, losing hope and not being able to see the way out, it is hard to remember that you are not alone. I believe in the inner depth, uniqueness and complexity of human beings.

I believe that everyone should have a safe and healing place to work through life’s challenges and create positive change in their lives. As a licensed LMFT therapist, I support clients towards their self-discovery process through the transformative power of psychotherapy to create meaningful changes in life, empower unique gifts and purpose, and enhance mental and emotional well-being. I believe that each of us possesses an internal source of insight that can be cultivated through therapy.

Relationships are one of the most impactful areas of our lives. If you are experiencing a lot of stress in your relationships, I can imagine the toll it is taking on your overall wellbeing. The quality of our childhood bonds can determine the patterns of our relationships in adulthood. Human connections can improve. With the help of a judgment-free professional and implementation of new skills, relationships can become healing and transformative. I believe that growth is achieved by the pairing of insight and the implementation of tools and techniques that will be learned in psychotherapy.
