Therapists in Brea, CA

在我们的传统文化中，与他人谈论自己的真实感受通常是件不被默许的事。这样的环境下，我们不知不觉地养成了压抑真实自己的习惯，不知道如何释放自己的负面情绪。这也常常导致我们不被家人、朋友或爱人理解，感觉与周围的人或事物格格不入。即使我们认为自己所做的每个决定都是为了更好地满足他人的需求，但我们仍然经常受到他人的责备和情感勒索。也许对你来说，生活中的方方面面都是心灵的枷锁。在很多个瞬间，您可能也想过为自己找到一个出口，结束所有痛苦，逃离一切的烦恼和复杂的人际关系。如果您正在经历的这些问题，也在努力的寻求帮助，希望我可以有幸可以为您提供心灵向导，帮助您探索真实的自己，学会与自己和生活和解。

Navigating therapy can often feel intimidating and confusing. Taking up space and speaking your truth is challenging, especially when problems and experiences that may be distressing or painful are involved. But this process isn’t one that has to be tackled alone nor are you meant to. My approach is empowering and encouraging, and I strive to provide a warm, safe, and judgment-free space that allows us to collaboratively uncover your inherent strengths and build the life you envision for yourself.

Hello there! As scary and uncomfortable as it may be, I'm glad you're here. We are all a collection of our experiences. And sometimes those experiences can be painful and disorienting. Things can happen, relationships can be strained, and we can become overwhelmed, exasperated, devasted, or all of the above, at the same time. I am a firm believer that everyone can benefit from therapy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, dealing with severe trauma or substance abuse, adjusting to a significant change or loss in your life, or struggling in relationships, I would be honored to be on this journey with you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed at work and at home? Do you feel alone struggling daily? Do you lose sleep over your relationship with someone? Are you worried about your child? Have your teenager shut down as soon as s/he comes home? This is a tough time for you, but with professional help, you can grow from this experience. I look forward to working with you in my office to help you sort out your problems and find solutions. I have 19 years of private practice in counseling and psychotherapy to promote a happier and more rewarding life for you!

With passion, I provide psychotherapy to individuals and people-in-relationships (couples, families, parent-child dyads) to improve relationship dynamics, heal from relational losses and difficulties, and restore potentials to be in relationships. Issues in treatment I specialize in include: grief and loss, trauma, parent-child bonding challenges, child behavioral management/parenting, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts. Contact me if you are seeking help in topics relating to life transitions, self-esteem, personal growth, and cultural and faith-related struggles, including spiritual abuse. With an interpersonal and reflective approach, I consider it a privilege to embark in this journey with you.
