Behavioral Issues Therapists in Carlsbad, CA

Is your pre-teen or teen-age child unusually irritable, withdrawn, sad, angry or tearful? Teens will often open up to therapists when they don't talk to parents. If your teen is refusing school, or not enjoying life, s/he may be struggling with anxiety or depression, inadequate social skills, bullies, feeling different, sexual identity, parental divorce, or body image worries. I offer a warm, nurturing and safe environment for adolescents to share their feelings and start to feel better about themselves. I enjoy helping adolescents and parents find their way during these difficult times.

Our childhood experiences shape the way we view and experience ourselves, others, and the world. When we understand why we think, feel, and behave the way we do, we can begin to accept our past and enjoy our present. I use the past strategically to connect the dots to today’s unhelpful patterns that are no longer serving you and causing distress in your life. We will work together on identifying and changing self-defeating patterns, developing healthier ways to manage emotions and challenging situations, resolving past traumas and inner conflicts, and uncovering the underlying meaning and purpose of your behaviors.

Life is relationship. People come to therapy because their relationships seem strained: You feel misunderstood by your partner, fights increasing, the distance between you growing. You're not on the same page parenting the kids. There are fewer "good times." You feel alone. You crave a renewing, loving relationship, more family harmony. Perhaps you have not succeeded in creating the fulfilling relationship you desire and suffer in its absence, flying solo- anxious, depressed, bored. Can't relax, overwhelmed by your job. The therapeutic work we do together can help you overcome these challenges, building more satisfying, loving relationships, a better fitting life.

Working through difficult experiences and emotions can be challenging. It can be even harder to make desired changes in ones life when certain patterns have been established for so long.

This allows change to begin to occur in the lives of my clients.
