Let's Connect (424) 256-0992
I am a Jungian psychotherapist with an integrative approach which includes CBT as well as solution focused work when called for. I work with clients around their depression, anxiety related issues, and their relationships. We are looking for what is causing the pain or blocking you so that you can better move through life’s traumas and difficulties. My goal is to release blocks caused by depression and anxiety so that you can reduce your suffering and feel more alive and energized. I look at your childhood as well as your current situation to better understand who you are and what will be helpful.
I am interested in how you think and react (CBT), what you're conscious of and what lies below the surface; how you operate in the outer world, and your inner world. I am offering you a chance to feel good about yourself, have more energy, and have a renewed sense of purpose and meaning. Visit my website at www.malibu-therapy.com to learn more about me.
Life is not what we thought it would be. It can be more challenging and difficult than we ever imagined. But it can also be more rich, whole and free. When blocked energy is freed it releases energy that enlivens and energizes, and symptoms often resolve. Call me to talk about what you're wrestling with. I can probably help. Let's see if we're a fit.

Our first sessions will be about collecting information about your symptoms and issues, and understanding your inner and outer worlds. We will also be simultaneously looking at ways and strategies for working with the problems that are up for you at this time. Just even starting a process like therapy can bring a surge of relief because you've become unstuck and are doing something new about them.

In our first sessions we'll explore what's bothering you and begin to look at the context and history around it. We'll look for ways to get some immediate relief, and I'll give you tools to get you started. Often just starting therapy can give you a boost, but we'll look for things you can do as well. You don't need to suffer alone. Call me and let's talk.
