Bisexual Therapists in La Mirada, CA

You're feeling depressed, isolated, frustrated and angry with the state of the world. And yet you're still expected to keep up with overwhelming pressures and demands of day to day life. All this stress can cause us to lose sight of what’s important. But it doesn't have to be this way. What if you could get back in touch with your own hopes, dreams, and desires? I work with individuals struggling with depression, bipolar disorder, job and career stress, loneliness, and relationship conflicts.

It's not what you thought it would be, and that's okay. Life transitions are hard. As much as we try to prepare ourselves, we can never be fully prepared. However, we can work together to help you embrace the changes and learn to navigate life with a new fresh perspective. And who knows, you might just find that the changes or life transitions you experienced, creates a better version of yourself. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional. I also have an extensive background working with children, adolescents and young adults.

*I have immediate openings ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** As a trauma informed therapist, I believe the most empowering feeling is finding your voice. By reflecting inward and making the the necessary changes we feel a sense of connection. I have spent many years building rapport with my clients from various traumas and background such as grief/loss, trauma and PTSD. I understand that building a safe therapeutic environment is essential in my therapy sessions. Coming from a strength based approach, I help you feel empowered by uplifting self-awareness and empowerment while finding healthier ways to cope with life stressors.

Making the decision to ask for help is one of the hardest first steps to take and it’s also the beginning of your journey toward healing and self discovery.

Helping others has always been a passion of mine. Throughout the years I have truly enjoyed providing quality psychotherapy to children, adolescents, families, couples, and individuals from all walks of life. I have worked with various populations and age demographics. I have experience working with various types of multicultural couples; victims of trauma, anxiety, depression, and many other debilitating issues. I am here to be of service to you and therefore, I am available throughout the week and also provide Telehealth services.

With warmth and compassion, I offer insight and coping strategies to strengthen you in your personal journey. My hope is that through our sessions you’ll come to realize you are not alone; I will be here every step of the way. As we discuss the importance of practical problem solving skills combined with a growth mindset, my hope is that will experience personal growth in a variety of areas - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual - as you find purpose in your struggle and healing from pain. Help is available, and peace and joy are possible.

We focus on supporting individuals and their family members through their difficult struggles with anxiety, depression, challenging life transitions, stress management, parenting, relationship & family conflicts.

The best word to describe my practice is Integrative or Holistic. I believe that true health and wellness comes from addressing those issues that create imbalance in our lives, either on a physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual level. My style is best described as warm and accepting so that an environment based in understanding rather than judgement is created. From this place, I like to work in partnership with individuals, couples, and/or families, exploring their areas of concern, options for change, and direction toward overall well-being.

"Don't expect everyone to understand your journey. Especially if they've never had to walk your path." Zig Ziglar. In therapy you have the opportunity to address challenges and struggles while learning effective coping skills in a non-judging environment. I assist you by providing a non-biased perspective and together we develop goals that are reasonable and achievable. As a mental health professional, I have had the remarkable opportunity over the last 15 years to work with diverse populations and a wide range of clients which include infants, children, adolescents, adults, couples and families.

I have twelve years of experience working with at-risk youth, homeless adults with a chronic & persistent mental illness, and in the education system with students of all ages. I am passionate about working with preteens, adolescents, young adults, and individuals. I provide a safe & empathetic space, working with individuals who struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief, identity issues, feelings of hopelessness, stress, low self worth, adjustment to life changes, school related challenges, and relationship conflict. I also have first hand experience with those involved in missions work, those that have been adopted, and those who have lost a parent to a fatal disease.

It really is time. Time to bring forward your strength to overcome your sadness and pain. Time to heal the wounds of trauma, chaos, and fear. Time to bring a peaceful balance to your day to day life. You can do this! We can do this! With some help and direction, some practice and patience, you can find positive, life changing results. We will work together; to develop behavioral strategies that can overcome your emotional challenges, build a more compassionate awareness of self and others, and bring clarity/ healing to the impact of past and present.
