Therapists in Claremont, CA

Life is messy. Therapy helps. In the middle of the mess it can be hard to find a way through it, so I work collaboratively with you to identify a path. Together we take a good look at thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviors to see if we can find patterns, then create an action plan to reduce your distress. I am trained in multiple scientifically backed modalities including EMDR and CPT. Everyone is unique with their own set of circumstances that are considered as we walk this journey together. In a world where everyone is talking, sometimes it's nice to have someone really listen.

Individuals struggling with daily tasks, that seem ordinary to those on the outside looking in, yet feel so unattainable. Individuals who would like to work through their struggles in having a better sense of self worth and being. Individuals who need someone to guide them through realistic steps in achieving a long term goal, structured or semi-structured. Individuals who are angry and disappointed, tired of feeling tied down by their emotions, and willing to try something different. Individuals who need genuine truth, compassion, and understanding.

I specialize in assisting individuals struggling with unhealthy patterns, offering a safe space to process emotional pain. Our past often influences our present and future, but I empower you to rewrite this narrative, fostering personal growth with new skills. Your comfort and safety in sharing your story are paramount as we identify and understand how past experiences shape thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we'll develop healthier coping mechanisms and effective processing strategies.

Youtherapy Psychological Services was established to assist children, adolescents, parents, and families, in their efforts to lead healthier, happier, and more productive lives. Many families encounter difficult times such as the loss of a loved one, divorce or blended family, academic struggles, mood or anxiety issues, low self-esteem, or interpersonal conflict. We are committed to helping kids and their families navigate these challenges utilizing strategies that are unique and specific to their needs. Parent involvement is crucial to the success of a child's emotional well-being and therefore we provide parent coaching as needed.

Is your child or teen struggling with school, low mood, lack of motivation, depression or anxiety? I can help! Parents often ask, “How do I know if my child or family needs professional support?” The simple answer is, if your child’s behaviors or moods are interfering with their schoolwork, friendships or family functioning, it may be time to seek outside support. A chronically anxious, sad, or child with disruptive behavioral patterns can leave parents feeling tired and worried. I will work with you and your child using evidence-based treatments.

Do you sometimes feel that life is overwhelming? Try as you might you are unable to get on top of things? Are you asking yourself, “why now, I’ve been able to handle things before”? Maybe you know something is amiss, but are at a loss as to how to handle it. Do you find yourself worrying about everything at once or all the time? Does it keep you up at night? Do you find it hard to focus or make decisions? Is it hard to enjoy things that you used to enjoy?

Are you experiencing uncertainty? Do you feel as if you have no one to talk to, or that no one will understand what you are going through? I can help. I provide a safe, warm environment where you can work through your issues, and gain insight into what is happening in your life. I will help you figure out what is going on, and provide support so that you feel that you are able to move forward. I enjoy working with a variety of people, including couples. Sometimes we just need a little guidance and help to figure things out.

All too often change occurs, it's inevitable, but not always expected nor welcome.. From small, situational dilemmas to larger, more complex personal or family concerns, therapy can be the change that brings about relief, insight and new solutions for dealing with these circumstances. Together, with my support and guidance, I hope we can begin to identify and develop the tools and resources needed to help you move toward the healing and growth you are seeking.

Have you noticed yourself being overly focused on pleasing others and struggling with prioritizing your needs and happiness? Is it difficult for you to say "no"? Do you worry that setting boundaries will result in others disliking you or fear that you will end up alone? If any of these thoughts and feelings sound familiar, let's talk. Your decision to seek help is an indicator of your strength and courage. I want to help you to learn the skills necessary for you to lead a healthy, productive, and satisfying life. My goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can grow and gain a better understanding of yourself.
