Facilitated workshops on all issues of addiction and
codependency
at Good Samaritan Hospital and Kaiser Permanente Hospital.
I am passionate about counseling alcoholic/addicts and/or their families to help them better understand the disease of addiction and the dynamics of how adversely they have all been affected. I have worked in the field for thirty years and love seeing addicts and their families get the help the so much deserve. It is a treatable disease and by one family member reaching out, the process of recovery can begins.

Hi there, I'm David! I have over eight years of experience working in a number of mental health settings from emergency rooms to inpatient acute hospitals to outpatient clinics. I generally work with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, relationship issues, behavioral issues,
codependency
, and life transitions. I typically practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, and individualize my approach based on clients' needs. In my experience helping others, I have come to believe that therapy can truly be a transformative experience for those who want to make a change in their lives.

Have you wondered what your life could be like if you were kinder to yourself, accepting of yourself, and knew your own value? Do you need to be seen and heard, and to feel like someone is on your side? You might be struggling with the debilitating anxiety, family and relationship conflicts,
codependency
, and depression that complex trauma can bring. You might come from a long line of family traumas. Maybe you are going through a breakup and are having a hard time finding your voice again. You may feel an emptiness and you don't know why.

My specialties include complex trauma, childhood abuse/neglect, healing from narcissistic/abusive relationships,
codependency
and relationship problems, substance use disorders, masculinity and men's issues, couples therapy, and working with Asian American/minority issues such as family conflict, intergenerational trauma, cultural identity & racism.
Though I work with most issues, I specialize in helping people recover from complex trauma. People with narcissistic, abusive, or neglectful parents or partners sometimes develop issues with trusting themselves, have difficulty maintaining close relationships, struggle with an inner critic, vacillate often between depression and anxiety, lack a solid sense of identity, or feel a sense of emptiness when their lives seem great on paper. Sometimes that trauma can even become part of one's identity - I work with clients to build insight, boundaries, self-compassion, and acceptance to free themselves from it & live more fulfilling lives.

I have used it to treat Phobias, dental phobia, SOCIAL ANXIETY, and panic attacks, FEAR OF FLYING, co-
codependency
and grief and los.
We are living through a difficult time right now. As a young student nurse, I was taught that we were overdue for a pandemic. Forty years later here we are. Feeling threatened by a micro-organism we cannot see. Then there is the uncertainty of how it will end and conflicting messages that bombard you. Your thoughts trigger your feelings. Thinking errors and cognitive distortions can add to your distress making feelings of anxiety worse. When we are unable to change situations, we need to change how we handle them. I will help you.

I work with issues such as childhood trauma,
codependency
, parenting, boundary issues, grief and loss, and couples and family issues.
By considering a therapist, you are taking a step towards improving your life, examining what needs to be changed and building upon what is already working. Life can get better and you have the power to change it. During difficult times, it is important to either develop healthy support systems or utilize the ones that we already have. Seeking therapy is one piece of a healthy support system. You are acknowledging that some aspects of your life may not be going well and need to be changed. Therapy can help you to put life in perspective.

We can identify coping skills that can assist in
codependency
, relationship anxiety, and avoidance of intimacy.
Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma? Do you experience difficulties managing family and relationship issues? I believe that healing happens when we pay attention to all the parts that make us whole—our mind, body, and soul. The subconscious mind controls most of our reality and choices, so building awareness and active presence can improve the quality of daily living and assist in not only surviving, but thriving through life. As an intuitive & holistic therapist, I will assist you in strengthening your inner psyche and developing new tools to manage negative feelings and thoughts.

An individual adult or couple who may benefit from seeing Esther has probably said to themselves, "My life is stuck in a rut or falling apart" or "We are so frustrated with dealing with each other!" Esther assists clients in untangling blurry webs of feelings, thoughts, and interactions in order to bring clarity to issues that may be the source of great pain and dissatisfaction.

My specialties include using culturally-responsive evidence-based practices to help you address sociocultural and systemic challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use,
codependency
, career and performance challenges, coping skill development, grief, near-death experiences, chronic illness and health challenges, chronic stress, and men’s issues.
Are you feeling frustrated, confused, stressed, depressed, or lost? Living a human life means learning to live with the human condition and the challenges that arise as a result - mortality, relationships, conflict, emotionality, suffering, and change. Therapy can help you adapt and adjust to experiences that can often be challenging and confusing; experiences that you may not always have the skills or insight to address. Therapy is meant to be a safe environment for you to process your experience of life to get emotional support, helpful feedback, and a healing perspective.

Are you a people pleasure, overthinker and/or perfectionist, who is looking for a non-judgmental, transformative space to gain insights and self-awareness about why your inner critics are so loud? You may be feeling exhausted from putting yourself down and dismissing your own needs in the name of productivity, achievement, or avoiding rejection and mistakes. You have spent enough time being harsh on yourself. It's time to be kind to yourself. I specialize in anxiety, self esteem, grief,
codependency
, infertility, and racial identity. I can help you take action toward the life you want instead of getting stuck in your own mind.

What therapy types help with codependency problems?
Both couples and family therapy and cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) can help with the relationship difficulties referred to as codependency. Such problems typically include inappropriate feelings of responsibility for a loved one’s destructive behavior, irrational patterns of thinking about such behavior, and family interaction patterns in which the needs of one troubled member override the needs of others in a household.
What happens in therapy for codependency?
Spouses and family members learn and practice how to interact and support each other in a healthy way without sacrificing their own needs or well-being. They learn the limits of their responsibility for their loved ones and correct faulty patterns of thinking and feeling that underlie codependent behavior. Individuals may be encouraged to nurture an array of social relationships and to cultivate their own talents and interests so that they develop a healthy sense of self outside the family.
How does therapy help a person or couple overcome codependency?
Therapy helps people establish healthy ways of being in a relationship. Spouses and family members learn how to nurture and support one another without sacrificing their own needs or allowing the needs of one person to dominate the dynamic. Individuals learn how to say no and set boundaries, and how to maintain their own identity and self-esteem. Therapy helps people understand that they are not responsible for the feelings and actions of others. It also helps individuals deal with the turbulence that can come from living with a person suffering from such conditions as substance abuse and mental illness.
What is the goal of therapy for codependency?
One goal of therapy for codependency is to alleviate feelings of responsibility for and correct irrational patterns of thinking about loved ones whose behavioral problems override the needs of others in a household. Therapy helps people establish healthy boundaries of behavior and speak up for their own needs in a relationship. In addition, people learn how to maintain a healthy relationship, one in which both parties give and receive equally and are able to retain their own identity.
