Find a Therapist in Lake Elsinore, California.

Today we want so much from life and from love. Finally we have tools to help us grow out of issues that keep us stuck! Tools can be used to release buried feelings that keep us wound up, anxious and too compulsive (or addictive) to really connect and feel nourished. Using tools helps us regain our center and overcome the wounds from our childhood that hold us back. Depression, anxiety and old anger can restrict our capacity to really live a full life. Tools give us a way to have healthy boundaries, to manage our moods better, to be more sensual and passionate and to make life feel like an adventure, not a endurance test! We don't have to be perfect but we can reach our potential!

I provide more in-depth psychoanalytic psychotherapy, which deals with unconscious motivations, defenses and projections. I look at early attachment and how our difficulties in early relationships contribute to psychopathology and problems in our present relationships. With my approach, you will benefit from a lasting, more internal shift in uncomfortable and painful feelings as a result of a new and more positive, safe relationship experience within the therapeutic setting.

My approach to psychotherapy is collaborative in that I work with my clients to unearth dysfunctional patterns of behaving or relating that are keeping them from the fulfilling lives and/or relationships they seek. As a solutions-focused psychotherapist I use complementary therapy approaches and techniques to teach clients new skills, increase understanding and insight, and build healthier lifestyle habits that are customized to address their unique therapy goals. My clients are encouraged to practice these new behaviors and ways of thinking between sessions so that the changes they make through our work together produce more satisfying and fulfilling lives.

The process of therapy is and should be tailored to each individual's life experience. Research shows that clients in therapy, who seek assistance to deal with a whole range of issues, challenges, thoughts, and emotions, can experience a positive benefit. In our collaborative work, we will complete a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment, where we look at many life factors that may be contributing to those challenges for which therapy is being considered. After an assessment, we will have a clearer idea of core values, possible goals and many ideas on designing a flexible plan that is easy to understand and use to bring about the transformation desired.

Psychotherapy is often something that can benefit all people of all backgrounds no matter what they are going through. Being able to have a safe space where you can discuss inner feelings, inner thoughts, concerns and struggles is important to overcoming those challenges of life. Being able to reach your goals, whether that is overcoming anxiety or just becoming a better version of yourself, psychotherapy can help you achieve this. It helps you gain a better understanding of yourself and your goals, helping you learn the process as well! I look forward to helping you in this journey!

I provide brief solutions-focused psychotherapy to help clients assess personal and professional functioning, clarify goals, and strengthen social and emotional skills. I specialize in brief online relationship counseling. Online counseling allows clients to seek help as needed, engage in therapy at a schedule that's convenient to them, and keep their counselor as they progress through life. I work with LGBTQ and hetero clients on individual, couple, and alternative relationship concerns. Clients explore issues that impact their professional and personal relationships, including communication, power dynamics, and intimacy. I accept US$ and cryptocurrencies.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) I love to see individuals get free from their individual issues, especially those self-sabatoguing defenses frequently learned from family of origin dynamics. I will help you be more OK with who you are and have more freedom from your past and thus have more contentment and success within yourself as well as others. I will help you be more confident, less anxious and less controlled by others. Your self-awareness and ability to stop underlying negative patterns will become easier to see and to change. In my 20 years of being a psychotherapist I have developed much expertise and have seen hundreds of people psychologically healed up.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

I find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to be the most useful tool in my psychotherapy toolbox. That's because CBT has been proven scientifically effective to reduce depression and anxiety for the last 50 years - and can be used in conjunction with or without medication. Proponents of CBT contend that it is not the events themselves that cause feelings of depression and anxiety, but rather what we tell ourselves about such events. Let me help you to identify the hurtful "self-talk" that is derailing your happiness!

Psychotherapy is a general term for treating mental health problems by talking with a psychiatrist, psychologist or other mental health provider. During psychotherapy, you learn about your condition and your moods, feelings, thoughts and behaviors. Psychotherapy helps you learn how to take control of your life and respond to challenging situations with healthy coping skills.

I count it a privilege to walk with my clients into a new version of themselves through sessions in the therapy room. I work to deeply hear and understand my clients. We will look at how they got where they are and work to change the perspective/dynamic that's keeping them in this painful place. We will look at how past and current relationships have impacted them and changes they can make to improve their relationships.

I CARE about my clients deeply. I know that each person's story is unique and take time to connect deeply with my clients. Therapy is a deeply personal journey and I never forget the trust my clients place in me. Find the right person to help you is about chemistry. Please call me at (949) 288-3123 if you have any questions at all. I want your therapy journey to be a success.
