Therapists in Burbank, CA

While many people come to me feeling stressed, overwhelmed, and defeated, seeking therapy for oneself is actually a sign of strength. It takes a lot to recognize a need for change and to take steps to follow through. In my practice I provide a comfortable, supportive atmosphere to explore alternative ways of living and coping with problems so that life can be more fulfilling and enjoyable. The opportunity to see individuals and families grow and feel better through the therapeutic process is the reason I love my work so much.

My therapeutic approach is direct and goal-oriented mixed with kindness and compassion. Hope, in wellness and recovery, is the core of my practice. I believe that people can make positive changes in their lives if they're intrinsically motivated to do so. Because wellness and recovery mean something different to everybody, drawing upon your individual strengths, resources, and interests will be an important aspect of our work together. You bring the desire to make a positive change in your life, and I will provide a safe and therapeutic environment to assist in your journey towards wellness.

I believe therapy is a place where a client can feel safe to express his/her/they concerns without being judged. This is a place where you can come and talk about things you can't talk about with anyone else. Clients come into therapy to find answers to questions they can't find on their own. My goal is for each client to be able to use the tools developed in therapy and take them into the outside world. This is a place where we, as a team, can set realistic goals that are reachable by you, the client. I want each client to take steps to become the heathiest version of themselves.

Therapy is a collaborative effort between myself and the individual.

As a Christian therapist, I will help you identify the underlying psychological issues which may be hindering your ability to live fully as you were created to. My desire in providing therapy is to assist you in identifying the pain that leads to unwanted behaviors and feelings. Once we are aware of the pain, we can then begin to identify the truth of who God says you are. Acting out of these truths will result in a healthy mindset and behavior.

Do you find that you are quick to judge yourself harshly or your life decisions? Is your day filled with circumstances or fears that you haven’t found a way to change? Ever ask why? Do you imagine your life with less anxious stress, more honest relationships, a stronger knowing of what’s right for you and how to achieve that? I offer therapeutic counseling using traditional and non-traditional interventions, actively bring concepts from yoga, mindfulness/meditation into sessions in an environment of support, safety and discovery where life skills, thought patterns and emotional states can be regulated, processed, and enhanced.

Let go. Let go of the fear, the worry and anxiety, the stress, the doubt, the overwhelming thoughts, and the negativity that's surrounding you. Easier said than done, right? We live in a day and age where stress is part of our daily lives. Sometimes, all you need is someone to talk to. Now, imagine that someone being trained in helping you overcome whatever it is you're facing. There is nothing wrong with seeking help, because maybe seeing a psychologist once or twice a week can be what you need to change your entire life around.

Do you feel empty or like something is missing from your life? Do you feel like you're stuck or repeating the same patterns? I utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to explore faulty thought and behavior patterns and help clients connect to the treasure trove of inner strengths that we often forget lie within us. I believe that we each possess the answers within us, but sometimes we need help to unlock what is holding us back and discover what we need to move forward.

Do you ever find yourself wondering how and why you’re at a certain point in your life? Perhaps you’re tired of the same old routine or you continuously find yourself challenged with life circumstances. Often times, we get consumed with life and months can go by before we even realize how much it’s weighing on us in all areas. The beauty of these circumstances is that they provide an opportunity to grow personally, professionally, and psychologically. Working together provides the space to explore your current challenges as well as effectively develop the tools necessary to thrive and create the wonderful life that’s awaiting you.

When someone says, "get over it" -- well, if it was that easy, you'd already have done that, right? It's not always that easy, getting past that stuck spot, especially when criticism & judgment add insult to injury. What I love to do more than anything in my life is, help people get past those upsetting memories, & make solid, lasting changes, and move forward, in freedom. Sometimes, that means helping to identify a subtle, indecipherable trauma. Sometimes that means, tackling unspeakably horrific violence you survived. Sometimes that means, working together with the two of you together for communication skills. Because -
