Therapists in 90403

As a therapist, I value and create a safe, nurturing, and empathic environment for individuals, couples, and families to explore underlying issues to relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and addictions. I am trained & certified in EMDR, which helps a person to quickly move through recent and past trauma and successfully overcome symptoms related to PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). We'll work together to help you find a healthy balance between body, mind, and emotions that allow for success in relationships and work, self-empowerment, and to live a life full of hope, meaning, and purpose.

Are you scrolling through all these profiles but can’t decide which one is best for you? We can help. Are you trying to save your relationship? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or behaviors you can't seem to change? We have been helping people just like you for over 40 years. If you are concerned about how much it costs, we have a wide range of specialties and fees, and because of the size of our group we are able to carefully match you with a therapist that is personally best for you. We have experienced therapists on staff, Christian therapists on staff, and we have been helping people since 1980.

You work, pay bills, socialize, maybe exercise (or not) and wake up to do it all over again. There is more to life than running the “rat race”. If you are starting to question your values, your thought processes, even your choices because you know there is more; Let’s dig a little deeper. Let us take a journey in your life by going back to childhood experiences that have shaped you or at the minimum, had some effect on your current position in life. Addressing personal, relational, and professional issues can be difficult but from the famous saying “whether you believe that you can or cannot you are right.”

Beginning therapy takes courage and you've already taken the first step. My goal is to help you create a more fulfilling life. I provide a safe space to work collaboratively with you. I will listen and use my knowledge base to help address the parts of your life that feel challenging. I work in both short term and long term treatment modalities.

Welcome, and thank you for clicking on my profile. You would probably like to know a little about me and how we might work together. I am a psychotherapist who is passionate about my work and whose interest lies in developing rapport and trust through active listening, respect, and creating an environment where you feel safe to share your thoughts and feelings. My approach is multidisciplinary, eclectic and highly interactive. My demeanor has been described as warm, accepting, non-judgmental, and compassionate. Together we will identify your concerns, what you hope to accomplish and build strategies for leading a happier life.

Is anxiety, depression, or trauma holding you back from being your true self? Do you feel stuck in managing difficult life transitions? Now, every little thing becomes super overwhelming. Those negative experiences reopen old wounds and cause new ones. You tried burying your pain hoping it would go away. You feel lonely and tormented. You feel exhausted, stressed, and angry all the time. You wonder how much more you can take. You are unsure of who or where to turn for help. In the midst of this painful journey, you do not have to go through it alone.

You are valuable and have hope to overcome whatever the reasons are that brought you here. Working with anger, anxiety, mood disorders, depression, anxiety-driven anger, major life adjustment issues, relational conflict, trauma, major depression, stress, PTSD, grief, communication are some my specialties.

I am here to help you learn more about yourself and to help you to improve your relationships, both with yourself and with others.

Are you struggling to focus? Do you feel emotionally drained, insecure, or stuck in people-pleasing? Does conflict feel uncomfortable or scary? Do you fall into patterns in relationships, friendships, or career and wish you could break the cycle? Sometimes, it isn't obvious why we do the things we do, but we can sense we're not our most authentic or successful self. And even when we know the cause of our distress, changing our behavior can still be hard. That's where I come in. My job is to listen without judgment, pressure, or bias and help you examine the root causes of your challenges to create the change you want in your life.

You are feeling like life is full of chaos and no matter what you do, you can’t seem to get a handle on what is happening. Your relationships are broken, or strained and not only is it affecting you, but others are pulling away. You feel lost as if you have no purpose in life. You are tired of the spinning wheel. Depression, anxiety, anger, relationship challenges and much more keep you stuck and unable to grow. ENOUGH! You're ready for answers to start a new Holistic, healthy journey and become that whole person you were meant to be - Mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually - whole!
