Therapists in Long Beach, CA

Life is full of challenges that overwhelm us. It stops us in our tracks and we think "how did I get here?" Whether it is grief, fear, lack of motivation, excessive worrying, indecisiveness, poor choices, trauma, addiction, or relationship problems: therapy is a tool to help, if you are open and reach out. This is when you need someone who is genuine, safe, non-judgmental, caring, supportive, and redirects gently to help you decide the next steps in YOUR journey. In therapy, we will focus on healing, process past wounds, identify triggers, create healthy boundaries, explore solutions, and find the path that is right for you.

I like helping clients regain control over reactive tendencies and negative beliefs held about themselves.Digging into the root cause is important.There are big "T" traumas such as serious accidents, disasters, assaults, surgeries/illnesses, death, and war that impact us.In addition, there are little "t" traumas such as being made fun of, or hurtful words said years ago that may seem insignificant but are often linked to mental health symptoms.These incidences from your past can result in depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, powerlessness, inadequacy, lack of choice, lack of control, and an inability to be present.
