Carelon Health IPA of California (CHIPA) Therapists in Huntington Beach, CA
When you participate in therapy, you show up for yourself on a path of self discovery where you can find the places in yourself that are best suited for who you are today and the goals and visions you wish to achieve. Each session should be a collaborative journey with a therapist holding safe space for you guiding you toward becoming the person you have always had it within yourself to become. As a therapist I believe in meeting every individual where they are and where they are ready to start. Doing this I am given a chance to help people achieve the life they have envisioned and desired for themselves.

Grounded in Psychodynamic frameworks like Object Relations and Lacanian theory, I identify the underlying emotional and personality dynamics impacting a client's life, ensuring test data is always interpreted within the full context of their lived experience.

My approach is relational and exploratory—I believe real healing happens when we feel seen, understood, and safe enough to be vulnerable. I work with clients experiencing grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions.

In my work, I attune to both what a client expresses verbally and what is conveyed through the body, paying close attention to unspoken words and subtle signals. Through empathic resonance, I become aware of the client’s present experiences and past struggles, deeply connecting with their emotional states. By witnessing and holding their pain, I support clients in transforming earlier traumatic experiences, allowing them to experience greater freedom, vitality, joy, connection, and the capacity to love and be loved fully.
