Therapists in Boyes Hot Springs, CA

Kamusta po, kababayan! Kapag ang buhay po ay mahirap, pansinin natin kung paano tayo kumilos, gumanti, o magisip. Ngunit hindi ko mababago kung paano mangyayari ang ating buhay, bakat' naman mabago natin ang ugali kung saan nagdudurot ng parusa at paghihirap. Mahirap ang buhay sa Amerika, ramdam ko din ang paghihirap sa bagong bansa. Pero hindi ibig sabihin ikaw ay nagiisa; tara't magusap tayo.

Together we can return agency to your life by collaborating on tangible solutions while uncovering the origin of limiting beliefs. I work with couples and individuals to recalibrate patterns of behavior that leave them struggling with depression, anxiety, co-dependency, or substance use.

I utilize a blend of relational, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches to treatment. I specialize in both individual (with children, adolescents and adults) and family therapy.

Welcome. You have arrived. Now what? Something brought you here. Perhaps the burden of pain that weighs on your body, mind and spirit. What is the nature of this pain?

Psychotherapy is an offering, a kind of healing art, a form of medicine that may help transform various symptoms of pain, manifesting in unhealthy, hurtful or even harmful thoughts and behaviors into something more healthy, wholesome and functional.
