I advocate fiercely for the best interest of your child and

Anchor Psychotherapy, Inc. - Traumatic memory appears without warning. It stops you in your tracks, invades, and overwhelms. In a moment’s notice, your body and brain feel hijacked. No matter what you try and bury it under: work, food, relationships – it’s still there. You may dissociate or maybe you’re watching it happen across the room, in your child’s face. You never asked for this, but, then again, neither did they. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your
family
, or the child in your life, I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and walk through this with you.
Lance Tango
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Verified
My clients are high-functioning adults and couples who privately struggle with injured self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and resentment in their relationships. When, as children, we experience mistreatment or dysfunctional
family
dynamics, our nervous system gets impaired - making it harder for us to feel good about ourselves and harder to have fulfilling relationships. My job is to help your nervous system heal from the burdensome hurts of childhood injustices, so we can reduce any chronic feelings of self-doubt, inadequacy, and dissatisfaction. My work aims to promote emotional healing and relational transformation for my clients.

I have been working with gender diverse teens, children, and adults and offer a unique focus on gender identity issues for the individual and their
family
(if the individual so desires), as transitioning and/or coming out has an affect on the whole unit.
I am a Nonbinary LGBTQ+ supportive, affirming therapist. My pronouns are she/they. My specialty is transgender, gender questioning adults, teens AND children! Yes! Children can question their gender or even begin to recognize that they don't identify as their sex assigned at birth...as early as age 3! Gender identity issues are difficult to navigate...for client AND parents. As a parent, you may experience grief, confusion, overwhelming questions and feelings, plus, your child's own confusion and overwhelming feelings. Come visit for an hour and let's see how we can work through this time together.

Life can feel impossible to avoid struggling and we often don't feel we have the skills to cope successfully through. Unfortunately, sometimes we don't have all the resources we need for a given situation. Parts of us take on desperate roles trying to help us to survive. This might look like anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, and relationship/
family
issues. I aim to help you process unresolved issues and feelings and find solutions.

CORONA VIRUS UPDATE: For 2021 my main focus is to help people affected by the unprecedented affects and after affects of this pandemic. If you read my blog, you will see how this pandemic affected me and my
family
. In California we saw the largest surge of this virus and every day we were bombarded with horrific news, news interviews with families that have lost loved ones or lost their business, and how the stay at home mandate has affected our physical and mental health. You do not need to feel alone, hopeless, scared, and lost. My personal story and skills bring an awareness and empathy perhaps not understood by many.

I am confident that we can collaborate to create a treatment plan that works for you whether it is individual therapy, couple's therapy, or

You are seeking a therapist because you are in emotional pain. Are you struggling with an addiction – sex, alcohol, drugs, or gambling? Have you been abused as a child or in an adult relationship? Have you experienced sexual assault, violence or other trauma? Are you experiencing issues with your significant other or other relationships? Sometimes addiction, depression, anger, and anxiety can happen because of a trauma history. Treating trauma can help you get your emotional health back and free you from addictive behavior and pain.

Systems/Nonlinear Dynamic Systems Theory,
Family
Systems Design.
The most fascinating and important part of my job as a therapist is how to have a really good conversation. It may sound too simple, but it cuts to the heart of what to expect from therapy. Through good conversation, you experience connection and understanding. When we are understood, difficult feelings change with resulting freedoms to engage life. Trained both as a Marriage and
Family
therapist and a psychoanalyst, I work with complex relationship issues, divorce and blended families, depression, anxiety, addictions, men's issues, and sexual trauma recovery, and integration of psychology and faith/spirituality.

Life has a way to take us to somewhere unexpected and requires us to make some changes to find a new balance. It could be something exciting, such as starting college, starting a
family
, getting promoted at work, etc. It could also be something sad, like ending a relationship, loss of a loved one, or being apart from
family
. In any case, adjusting to a change in life is stressful and can cause anxiety and/or depression. At a time like this, I can provide you with effective coping skills to make transitions easier.
