Find a Therapist in Angels, California.

Sometimes it is helpful for people to know "where that came from" in order to better understand themselves. Insight gained is a valuable tool for changeing. Lifelong events are interpereted by the individual. These interpretations affect our self esteem, our thinking, and affect our beheavior and feelings. Psychotherapy helps us gan "insight" and therefore we have the tools to make our own changes.

Psychotherapy is not anything to be scared of, or intimidated about. Seeking out a therapist or being in therapy isn't an admission of weakness or some kind of character flaw. Therapy is a collaborative process and a partnership with someone who is trained in and experienced with facilitating personal growth. And in this process, you are in the driver's seat. Our minds and emotions and relationships involve complicated machinery just like our bodies do and in the same way a medical doctor helps you stay physically healthy, Psychotherapy is designed to help you be and stay mentally and socially strong, and continually in a position to take on life's many challenges as your best self.

I use an evidenced-based approach to my cases, and create a very creative and effective assessment process. From this I am better able to identify a client's unique presentation of a disorder or issue and also from setting a baseline, can re-assess for therapeutic gains from working together. I use CBT, DBT, DBT Integrated Play Therapy, and PCIT. I also have training from the Gottman Institute to help with relationship issues, as I work with individual clients to improve their marriages and partnerships.

I work with an entire person--the mind, emotions, body, spirit, relationships. I offer an alternative approach to traditional psychotherapy because sometimes we are stuck beyond our thoughts. I believe we are often stuck beyond how we think about something, but by how our body holds and remembers the experiences. After all, we feel the anxiety in our chest, shoulders or stomach. When we are depressed, we struggle to move, sleep, concentrate etc. I work to remove the block from wherever it is stuck. My clients come to me after years of ineffective therapy. They are looking for more than talking about their struggles or identifying how they think about them in favor of a change in living.

I offer psychotherapy for multiple issues. Mostly for people that suffered abuse and neglect in their life. People that went through absent parents growing up can have very hard time to connect and develop healthy relationship. Through psychotherapy clients can heal the past and learn to reconnect with others and feel love happy and secure. Client learn to descover themselves and increase their self esteem.

In laymen's terms, psychotherapy is the opportunity to talk about and process your problems or challenges with a trained therapist. Sometimes, we don't need someone to try to fix our problems for us, which is what most of our friends try to do when we talk about them. Sometimes we need someone who will listen and be a sounding board so we can think through and process for ourselves. I want to support you with your goals and your needs and we can make a therapy plan (psychotherapy or other types) that you feel will best suit your needs. Most importantly, I provide that safe environment for you to be able to be vulnerable, talk about, and process whatever is on your heart and in your mind.
