EMDR Therapists in Santa Clarita, CA

Are you feeling stuck, confused, or in pain? Life can be difficult and confusing; it can be helpful to have someone to guide you in utilizing your strengths and gaining skills to navigate life more effectively. I offer clients a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to work together on getting you "unstuck." I work well with clients who have issues with anxiety or have experienced traumatic events. I have a lot of experience and passion for working with clients who identify as LGBTQ and/or are in the arts. I work primarily from an empathetic, relational approach and can incorporate EMDR and DBT into our work as well.

As a parent, it can be heart-breaking to watch your child or teen struggle with worries, sadness, friendship difficulties, or behavior problems.

We will work with you and/or your child to improve coping and quality of life. Your family's path to healing starts with a call to my practice: Therapy SoCal.

Are you overwhelmed with anxiety or worry? Do you feel pressure to do everything perfectly? You might be praised for your success, but inside you feel like you’re drowning in anxiety and self-doubt. You worry frequently about failing, and are consumed with self-criticism. Or maybe you have experienced a distressing or traumatic event(s) that is making it hard to function, and you are tired of this trauma getting in the way of how you want to live. You are ready to make meaningful, lasting changes in your life. You want to feel calmer, more confident, and are ready to leave the past behind you.

Too often, we feel we are surviving rather than thriving. Do you feel stuck in grief or loss, or that your anxiety is running the show? Are your relationships painful or not satisfying?Also-Parenting is hard! Maybe you're a new parent and it isn't what you expected, or even hoped for. Nobody tells you about the postpartum experience -that internal voice in your head that is constantly critiquing the new role of motherhood you're taking on, mourning the version of yourself you once were. Not to mention the pain that comes with a birth plan gone wrong. If you're mothering without your own mother, that also comes with real challenges.
