There is potential for growth in every difficult life circumstance. Seeking help can serve as the spark to ignite your true potential. I enjoy assisting others in working through emotional or mental obstacles in the way of contentment and effectiveness. I believe effective treatments blend processing underlying emotional experience with skill building to break unhealthy habits and cycles. If you are looking to become more skilled in your career, relationships, and health, let’s work together to reach your goals.
I am an insight-oriented therapist whom integrates Psychodynamic, DBT, and CBT treatments. I truly believe that growth occurs through the relationship one has with their therapist, secondary to any style of therapy. For couples, I utilize an Emotion Focused (EFT) approach.
I specialize in the treatment of addictive behaviors, relationship issues, anxiety, career issues, and eating disorders. I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy melding Psychodynamic, DBT, and CBT principles to fit the strengths and needs of my clients.
I strive to help people gain insight and self-awareness into how their unique histories contribute to current struggles. My goal is to help you become more confident and effective in the valued areas of your life by understanding your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
I keep offices in Huntington Beach and Long Beach. In addition to therapy, I provide evaluations and assessments for a variety of issues including ADHD, Autism, and other psychiatric disorders. Free initial phone consultations are available. Call now and we can discuss your needs and how to best address them.
