Therapists in Huntington Beach, CA
Nobody’s childhood dream was to grow up and feel overwhelmed, alone, stuck or unworthy. I aim to help individuals heal from trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues. If you find yourself living without a navigation system to understand emotional terrain or trauma that impacts your well-being; you are not alone. All of us go through rough patches in our lives. My approach is specific to meet your unique needs in a safe and non-judgemental space.

Exhausted? Overwhelmed? Trying to manage your mental health with an already existing mood disorder, personality disorder or on top of that an active addiction or one in remission? Or, are you are worried there is more going on that just being not able to cope the way you used to, and it's getting harder and harder to get back to feeling some kind of normal? You know you need to do something about it - your livelihood depends on it. You are a professional in healthcare, run a company, a team, a household, and you're running on empty. It's time to prioritize your mental health.

Needing the help of another person is one of the most challenging and worthwhile risks we face in life. It can make us feel we are broken, that we are too little or too much, and that it would all be best kept inside rather than talked about in the open. Good help, however, can transform shame into acceptance, stuckness into movement, and self-distortion into alignment with our truest selves. I am continually developing my way of listening from a psychodynamic/analytic ear, oriented toward my patients' previously undiscovered and unconscious inner worlds, and specialize in treating complex trauma and dissociative disorders.

I believe every person has the right to be heard fully and deeply, with understanding and without judgment. Whatever your difficulty, my first step will be to listen until we are both satisfied that I understand you, your problems, and your dreams. As you begin to listen to yourself with this same objectivity and compassion, you may begin to see the solutions on your own. Of course, with a trained ear, I will also be able to contribute insights and perspectives you may not have considered.

On a daily basis I am given the distinct opportunity to work with people as a vehicle to help them to find their own truth and happiness. Based on our life's path we attach ourselves to people, places and things as a way to connect to the most basic part of ourselves, deserving and capable human beings. Sometimes these attachments result in being pushed further from our genuine selves and create patterns that leave us feeling lost and searching. I believe in the basic premise that at birth people are purely lovable and worthy and have a natural right to be seen and heard. My work with you is formed from this basic belief.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, angry, and overwhelmed? Do you continue to repeat the same patterns of being in unhealthy relationships, engaging in harmful behaviors that are not serving you in a good way, and continuously trying to find a way to numb the pain? I am a process-oriented and trauma-informed therapist who meets clients where they are at. I draw from the psychodynamic approach focusing on bringing the unconscious to the conscious to get to the root of the issue and explore defense mechanisms that have been adapted along the way.

I have worked with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and those who self-medicate with alcohol or other substances. I prefer working with individuals over the age of 18. I also have extensive experience working with people who struggle with depression, anxiety, mood swings, thought disturbances, substance use, and physical disabilities. Therapy is challenging, and yes, I will push my clients. But I am supportive and encouraging in my approach, and I will only push them because I believe in them, and that they have the capability of achieving their greatest good.
