Self Esteem Therapists in Oxnard, CA

Psychotherapy is a learning process in which you come to better understand yourself and your relationships so you could promote change in the areas you would like to improve. As a therapist, my role is to help you explore destructive patterns and develop more positive ones in order to address life issues and transform daily experiences. Life is a journey, I meet people where they are at and work collaboratively to create a road map to make life more rewarding.

Are you or your child struggling with learning, anxiety, depression, and attention deficit and you need assessment right away? Or perhaps your child is too gifted and talented and not working to its potential with another failing report card on its way and it is clear that your child needs help. It leaves you completely overwhelmed, feeling like you are the only person trying to do anything about it as the school is letting it all happen. You see several struggles in reading, writing, organization, forgetting things learned, making the same mistakes over and over again? Do you wonder if your child needs IEP or gifted education?

Seeking therapy can be the first step on a healing journey and I hope to walk alongside you as you pursue personal growth. I believe that therapy can be a great way to access some of the tools that are already within us but that we may need help employing. I understand the importance of intersectionality as a queer Black woman and therapist and can understand how necessary it is to acknowledge the impact of intersecting identities when working with clients. I use an integrative approach to help clients feel empowered to re-frame their narrative and identify and process complex emotions.

I love the work I do as a psychotherapist. I see myself as a healer and guide. With you as my client, we navigate the challenges and, perhaps, traumas of your past. Being guided through the changes you want to make, I offer empathy and compassion, knowing that self-exploration that leads to desired change can be a challenge, and sometimes the challenge becomes too great to want to continue. It is a given that I listen within the moment “presence,” and I believe that this “presence” is the key to healing and growth. I welcome the opportunity to work with you as your guide and co-healer on your path of growth, healing, and change.

Has trauma, loss or grief made it difficult to live the life you really want? How do you imagine your life changing or being more satisfying? My approach is respectful, encouraging and focused on growth. I'm trained in what are called "power therapies." EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and BSP (Brainspotting) have the potential to heal deeply, from within the brain and body, and create understanding and relief.

In addition to psychotherapy, I am approved by BBS to provide supervision to those on probation. Statement: Culture plays a large role in shaping our thinking and behavior. Unfortunately, its rigid standards do not prepare us to be adaptive in this diverse, multicultural world. We try to apply old lessons to new challenges, which may lead to frustration and self-doubt. My aim is to take the pressure of societal expectations off you so you feel good about yourself.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.
