Therapists in Irvine, CA

Does it feel like anxiety and depression are taking over your life? Or perhaps for you it's disordered eating, compulsive behaviors or toxic relationships. We now know that every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) are just different manifestations of the same root problem, unresolved trauma. And trauma simply means any moment in our lives where we perceived that we were unsafe in some way. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we aren't able to process it, we store it. And when this stored trauma gets triggered, it interferes with our ability to be present and engaged in our lives.

I specialize in working with children with the ultimate goal of helping them feel successful in their day to day lives. I have worked with youth in the mental health setting for about 8+ years. My passion for helping children and families began with trying to understand the “bad kid.” I always wondered why they weren’t being successful in their daily lives and how I could help. I have a passion for helping children find themselves, find their voice in the world and find ways that they can be successful.

How much do you know about your emotions? Did you know that learning a “feelings” vocabulary to process your experiences supports emotion regulation? Many of us learn adaptive strategies as children, allowing us to survive in a rigid environment while meeting some of our needs. Later you may find that the strategy that kept you safe in childhood interferes with your capacity for connection as an adult. We can explore the patterns that put distance in your relationships despite your desire to increase intimacy. Whatever your childhood lacked should not predetermine your happiness in adulthood. You deserve to thrive.
