Therapists in Anaheim, CA

As a Mindfulness trauma-informed therapist, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families struggling to find relief from many of life’s challenges. Relational difficulties, family problems, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and life transitions can all be more difficult than we imagine. I encourage collaboration in a safe, nonjudgmental space to gently explore these struggles, and build solutions that grow confidence. I believe in the healing potential of the brain, which is why I draw from a variety of practices to achieve real change.

I don't know that life ever works out exactly as we picture.

I believe that you should guide your therapy experience and work toward goals that fit your life and values utilizing your strengths and beliefs.
