Life can be overwhelming, emotionally painful, and we can feel stuck. This can be coupled with feeling ashamed, lonely, depressed, angry, anxious or panicked. We feel I “should” be motivated and in control. It is easy to feel helpless in our pain, not knowing how to get out of it. You want to feel motivated, joy and peace in life. You want to regain hope living your life again.
There is a way out of suffering. Joy and peace can co-exist with difficult issues. You can move towards feeling like your old self again. You can begin to feel connection, hope, and peace. You will practice skills that will move you through the emotional pain.
You can take the first step towards reconnecting with yourself. I provide a safe, compassionate, judgment-free environment, with a focus on building hope with quick results. Please call or email me to make an appointment. It is my honor to be by your side guiding you on the journey to peace and joy. It has always been my passion to be in the helping field never questioning my career choice. I have been in practice for 10 years.
I helped create the curriculum and currently facilitate a group therapy program for older adults struggling with grief, depression and anxiety due to life transitions at Loma Linda Behavior Medicine Center.
In my private practice, my therapy starts with a clear and specific treatment plan with very specific and measurable goals. My approach is based on CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) with a focus on quick results.
It is important for you to see improvement quickly to get quick relief and motivation to stay with the program. I provide you tools and techniques that you practice in session and at home. My goal is to get you back in touch with your feelings and help you achieve sustainable peace and joy in your life.
My goal for all my clients is to be able to face adversity without the suffering in emotional intensity. Our thoughts occur so rapidly that we often are not fully aware of how they affect us. I help bring the subconscious to the consciousness to increase awareness and heal. I believe that everyone can use language, in their own thoughts to create helpful behaviors and manage emotions.
