Therapists in Redondo Beach, CA

Sometimes, when faced with many of life's challenges, we can find it difficult to reach out. Often fear or shame get in the way of asking for help. But there is hope. Working with a therapist, you can begin to feel validated and discover that you are not alone. Do you have a fear of abandonment or fear of intimacy? One or the other can mean you're either a Love Addict or Love Avoidant. I can teach you how to love yourself instead of looking for it in someone else, and bring down your walls and be relational.

My goal and hope for any client I work with is that they leave each session with valuable takeaways while having a chance to process thoughts and emotions. I work collaboratively and actively with my clients to formulate a plan and find tools and healing that allows them to move forward. I work with clients who are trying to understand themselves, patterns, relationships and have struggled with things like anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and drinking, family, stages of life and uncertainty with the future.

Therapy can heal emotional pain, improve relationships, and increase self-understanding. Although starting therapy can be intimidating, it can make a big difference in your ability to cope with challenges or make sense of what has happened so you can move forward. I will help you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings, and together, we will work to understand how you came to be where you are, and be proactive in making positive changes that help you get where you want to be. I'm invested in supporting you as you create the life you want to live.

Life has its way of revealing to us the parts of ourselves that most need healing whether it be through a major life transition or strained relationships. Sometimes we may have even checked off "all the right boxes" in life, making us appear outwardly put together, all the while we might be suffering from invisible wounds of our past. There comes a point where these wounds can no longer go unaddressed as they start to pervade the most important aspects of our lives. It can be overwhelming to navigate these experiences when we are so used to seeking answers outside of ourselves.
