Parenting Therapists in Palm Desert, CA

You don’t have to go it alone. I am here to help you find your way back to living the life you want. It can happen. I'm here every step of the way. Because sometimes, things don’t turn out the way we planned. We didn’t know we would end up getting divorced, or blending families, or being a single parent , but here we are. We didn’t know we would adopt instead of birthing our own child, or be raising our grandchildren, or the difficulties we would face raising children in an LGBTQ home. But, here we are. These challenges can cause tremendous anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, confusion, sadness, and suffering. I understand.

Each individual life is full of uncertainties and unforeseen challenges which may leave us with feeling stagnant, hopeless and depress. Seeking for help is a strength.

If you have not had much success so far with therapy and feel that the suggestions have not helped to shift things in your life, I may be a good fit for you.

As a bilingual therapist I am committed to help clients feel comfortable in therapy to reflect on issues and help them make positive changes. I provide individual psychotherapy to adults who are feeling depressed, anxious, grieving because of life transitions.

CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to improve mood.

I am a bilingual (Spanish) licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a focus on solutions and short-term-outcomes, rather than spending years analyzing the problem. While traditional long-term therapy and in-depth exploration of the past may be appropriate in some situations, it's generally not necessary. Whether it's court-ordered classes, separation, divorce, domestic violence, parenting or co- parenting , depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, I'll personalize a plan that guides you to the desired outcome.

Are the present circumstances getting too stressful? There are so many changes of which we are not in control- job insecurity, fear of disease/death, separation from family members, and kids at home - every day, ALL day! (I am a Registered Play Therapist along with being a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist.) Life's difficulties may have seemed manageable a few months ago, but now are overwhelming.

We are not so much defined by what happens to us in life, but rather by how we respond to what happens. Intuitively we may know problems are opportunities to change and to grow, but sometimes we feel stuck, anxious and disempowered. Please know emotional pain is the only thing in life likely to jump-start a process of personal transformation. You are likely on the threshold of making that inward turn--taking yourself more seriously by addressing the pain of the past, accepting responsibility for prior choices and formulating commitments to do some things differently from here forward.

We all need to feel that we are seen and heard and feel that we are supported by others. Do you need help managing the day-to-day demands of life? How about navigating depression and anxiety? Trauma? Relationship issues? Friendship issues? Parenting responsibilities? What about taking care of your needs and practicing self-care? Setting boundaries? Practicing mindfulness or gratitude? Do you struggle with achieving your goals and having a positive outlook? Life is challenging. We can't do it alone. I am available to provide support and services to clients in California.
