Teletherapy for Laguna Niguel, CA

In life, we often feel overwhelmed, out of control, or caught in patterns we can’t seem to escape. We may be affected by trauma, feel stuck in relationships, get caught in self defeating thought spirals or find that we are sabotaging ourselves. Many of us move around the world carrying secret struggles with negative thoughts, emotions, or urges, which disturb our day-to-day life and make waves in our relationships. Changing life circumstances-both positive (like the birth of a child) or negative (loss of a job)-can cause anxiety and strife.

This includes clients currently struggling with substance abuse and disordered eating.

"We're all just human beings doing the best we can, the best way we know how." That resonated with me a long time ago. It is where I got stuck. It may be where you are.

Currently accepting new clients! Sometimes life in general can feel overwhelming. This feeling can intensify if you also struggle with unprocessed trauma and/or feelings of low self-worth. My clients have either had a chaotic childhood or a single traumatic experience that has led to self-consciousness, self-sabotage or simply difficulty handling stress. They have so much compassion for others, yet struggle to turn it inward. Their coping strategies "make sense" but they struggle to believe in their own worth. The individuals I work with are hoping to find peace, stability and increased self-esteem.

Do you feel lonely in your relationship? Are you tired of the same arguments? Does everything feel difficult? Working from home has increased these challenges for many couples.

I help my clients learn and adopt effective tools that they can implement and practice in their everyday life. You don't have to do it alone. Call, let's talk.
