Reality Therapy in Spring Valley, CA

As a Psychotherapist I enjoy helping my Clients become the person they yearn to be. Many people are held back due to a lack of confidence in themselves that likely began when they were young. For some people, hurtful words or experiences led to negative self-images, that caused what some people call "imposter syndrome". Other people experienced trauma that led to PTSD. I enjoy working with Clients who want to improve their lives, who are willing to work on themselves, with the help of an experienced Psychotherapist. Let me help you realize your career goals, and your relationships, and your enjoyment of life.

Are you struggling with emotions that you don't know what to do with? Are you stuck in thought processes that are unhelpful, yet you are not sure how to change them? Do you want to learn how to regulate emotion, reduce stress, improve relationships, improve communication, reduce unwanted emotion, and feel comfortable in your own body? These are just a few of the things that I work with clients on, and I can work with you as well. I believe we are all humans doing the best that we can, and sometimes the best thing we can do is ask for help.

I have also faced my own life challenges, moved across the country to my dream states, and more, which I believe has taught me to have more compassion and an open mind. Hence, why I always state I am a human first.
