Therapists in Brea, CA

As the parent of a struggling child or teen, you may find yourself wondering what you can do to help them feel better. Adolescents are facing unique challenges that can feel overwhelming like social media, bullying, self-esteem issues, anxiety and depression. Not to mention some of the difficulties you may have faced as a family, like adoption, divorce, death of a loved one, or a traumatic event. You can see that your child is struggling, but they won’t even talk to you or they don’t have the language to communicate their big feelings to you. How do you help your child when you are not sure where to start? Well I am here to help.

Change can be stressful. LIFE can be stressful! Sometimes, the transition might be the birth of a child, a new job, a new relationship or it could involve the loss of a loved one, or coping with a family member being ill. I am particularly passionate about helping women, especially those entering parenthood, those living with grief & loss or those entering a new stage of life. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sadness or even hopelessness, you do not have to feel alone. Those recurring thoughts of self doubt or painful relational patterns CAN be changed.

I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults; as well as providing therapy to couples and families. Are you struggling with the demands, of work, kids, a spouse or partner? Are you feeling overwhelmed at work/home and cannot manage the anxiety/depression? Do you and your partner disagree about how to parent the kids? Are you struggling with blending two families together? I will help you explore solutions to the problems and challenges you are facing.

Does it feel like no matter what you try, your child is still having behavioral problems at home and school? Are you always worrying and find it hard to relax? Are you struggling with feelings of sadness and not having as much fun engaging in your favorite pastimes? Do you feel like you have tried everything to solve your problems and would like some new ideas and additional support to move forward?

My philosophy is that every client deserves personalized care, respect, and responsiveness. This attitude helps clients feel safe enough to consider new ways of approaching life's challenges.

I understand what it’s like to struggle, feeling hopeless and alone. This is why I feel one of the greatest joys of being a therapist is the opportunity to be a voice of hope for you and to provide space to feel safe, seen, and heard.

Life can be so challenging that we doubt that change and overcoming adversity is possible. Despite what circumstances of your life or the doubtful voice inside might be telling you, or the self critic inside - change is possible! I believe that therapy is a place to explore the thoughts and feelings behind some of those doubts that might be keeping you "stuck" in the belief that change or healthier habits aren't possible. I believe that past experiences shape one's story, but those experiences do not have to define an individual. With increased awareness and use of coping skills, you can improve your overall quality of life.

I'm so glad you're taking the time to begin your healing journey! Life, and the uncertainty that comes along with it, can be very difficult to navigate. I have the experience and treatment skills necessary to help you achieve a better quality of life. I have helped both children, and adults process trauma, and gain effective coping skills for managing anxiety and unwanted thoughts to help them live a more fulfilling life. Our work together will help you gain clarity on how to navigate the problems you are facing by providing you with a safe environment as you begin your journey toward healing.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationships (including divorce and affair recovery), grief, PTSD, or past trauma, I provide a warm, empathic, collaborative approach that is client-centered. My passion is to help you find your inner strength as we process life and find healing for the painful areas of your heart. My goal is to see you integrated and whole so you can thrive in your life! I work with individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and families.

As a mother of four children - two college students and two middle schoolers, I understand well how challenging parenting can be at each stage of a child's growth. Working as a preschool teacher, parenting instructor, and children's department minister, I have developed an interest in the impact of temperament and personality on relationship-building. Drawing from these experiences, I aspire to share this knowledge with you, offering wisdom, compassionate advice, and support to those in need, helping you navigate the journey of love, understanding, and overcoming difficulties.
