Adults Therapists in Redlands, CA

I am a mindfulness-based psychotherapist working both in-person and providing Telehealth. Together we will work to identify your personal strengths, and challenge negative thoughts and core beliefs using evidence-based mindfulness techniques and trauma-focused therapies, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). EMDR is a therapy that reduces triggers and distressing thoughts, feelings, or memories that remain after difficult or traumatic events. EMDR can help after a one time event, like a car accident or traumatic birth, and for chronic adverse experiences that have built up over time.

Do you ever forget how you got to work? Is life overwhelming, but you have no one to talk to? Do you hold it in, thinking it will go away? Some time in your life, you may be faced with the analogy of “your life vs. a bottle of soda.” There may be things shaken or flipped upside down in your life and you may want to explode. Knowing what happens to a bottle of soda & knowing people react differently, everyone’s version of “exploding” may come in various forms. As a therapist, I strive to find ways to turn your impairments into functionalities. Regarding the soda analogy, let’s “relieve pressure, open diligently, & consume slowly.”

Perhaps you are overwhelmed by anxiety and do not know how to feel right, how to motivate yourself, or how to work more effectively in life. You may think that no one understands you, doesn't listen to you, or doesn't care about you. Or maybe you're struggling with your relationships with your family or children and aren't sure what to do. Your past traumas may be negatively affecting your life and you are unsure how to identify and deal with them. We all find ourselves in difficult places sometimes and need a little help.

Do you experience symptoms related to anxiety, stress, worry, low self-worth, and depression? Do you frequently engage in unhelpful (negative) thinking? When engaging in chronic negative thinking patterns, called cognitive distortions, the way you see yourself, others, and the world become severely affected. We often filter our lives through this lens unconsciously. With the primary use of cognitive behavioral (CBT) and dialectical behavioral (DBT) strategies, I can guide you to redirect your unhelpful thoughts and manage your emotions for the purpose of empowering you to choose healthy behaviors.

I commend you for seeking help. You are not alone in your journey and relief can be found! I provide a non-judgmental, collaborative, and safe place for you to share your struggles. I believe in being honest and direct, while incorporating a sense of humor to approach life’s challenges.

In these trying times are you looking for additional support and someone to assist you in enhancing your tools to deal with stress? Are symptoms of depression and anxiety preventing you from living the life that is meant for you. Why wait! We can work together to help you regain the balance and peace you deserve.
