Laguna Beach, CA 92651
I enjoy working with people on a myriad of issues that come up in life, phase of life, relationship issues, grief and loss, parenting, struggles with sexuality and sexual identity, and the obstacles that are in the way of an unfulfilled life.
Most of us go through difficult periods in our lives where we feel overwhelmed, alone, and confused. Sometimes, inevitable events in life, even happy ones, like starting a relationship, going off to college, or retirement, expose the wounds and memories from a recent or distant past that make the current situation painful and unbearable. While we survive those situations and adapt to the new realities of our circumstances, psychotherapy, specifically psychodynamic psychotherapy uses these moments as opportunities for a path for self-discovery and a chance to reevaluate our priorities and find meaning and purpose in our lives.
