Therapists in Brea, CA

My purpose is to provide you a safe place where we can meet and build a relationship of trust, based on talk and explore, together, the hurt, the confusion, feeling stuck, and and obstacles that keep you from finding healing, meaning, and a better life. I meet with individuals, couples, children, and families to work on issues concerning family of origin, relationships, identity, spirituality, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and more. Once we enter into the client-therapist relationship, my top priority is to be with you through the therapeutic process, and to support you as you begin taking steps towards living the life you desire.

Feeling out of control over what you care about the most can make you feel like your world is crumbling around you. Feelings of worry, fear, confusion, anger, and sadness can make your relationships, parenting, work, or your education seem impossible and feel like a heavy burden. My passion is helping people realize or remember that they are capable, strong, worthy, and significant. I look to understand your pain and concern, and I want to tell you that you CAN overcome these obstacles that come your way in life. Having peace of mind is a mind frame.

It has been a while since you felt stuck, terrified, hopeless, or worthless. Yet, you have always been smiling to pretend you are okay. Or you are very used to distancing yourself because “nobody cares about me”. Life can be very challenging when you can hardly recognize the person next to you, more importantly, when you can’t even recognize yourself. Whether it has been years over the same issues and difficulties, or there has been a sudden tragic change to your life, believe it! You are already doing the best you can at any given moment!

Our clients feel comfortable in our space as we help them redefine who they are. Are you a new mom? Empty nesting parent? Graduated college 10 years ago?

I am passionate about helping my clients find their voice, create a space for their truth to be heard and realigning themselves to what they value most in life.

Do you find yourself struggling with life transitions such as school, professional development, and marriage? It can be difficult to become your authentic self when you are dealing with life stressors and personal road blocks such as; self-esteem, anxiety, and depression.

My theoretical approach stems from Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, and the use of somatic language, art therapy, and mindfulness strategies to strengthen the mind and body connection.

Human connection is vital to human survival. In a world where digital interaction has become the norm, loneliness is a pervasive condition. People who’ve experienced trauma, especially in family relationships, can find it difficult to develop fulfilling personal connections. Even surrounded by close friends and family, many of us still feel disconnected. Connecting with others on a physical and emotional level has proven to have a lasting impact on overall well-being.

My passion is to help those who feel weary and lost. It is difficult to be present and live a fulfilling life when the chains of past events hold us back. As hard as we run and distract ourselves, we also run away from our sense of self. Avoiding pain can grow into unhealthy behaviors and addiction. My intention is to help build a foundation for a meaningful life. Core pieces of the foundation include insight, communication, emotions, and connection. These pieces are vital to maintaining healthy relationships and attaining the love we want. Other important areas to consider are cultural identity, spirituality, and our past.

Life these days throws us some curves that all our best efforts just can't resolve. Pulling ourselves out of current life circumstances we are as we try to escape from issues we unable to face so we can move on and heal causes blame and resentment between partners, families, parents, and kids.

We work together and uncover the core issues keeping you "stuck" in life and replace them with workable, usable coping strategies to provide you the life you deserve!
