Therapists in Bellflower, CA

My goal is to guide people restore their self-esteem as a competent individual, build a healthy relationship with others, especially with their spouse and children, and promote lasting change that brings them to feel loved, capable, and alive. It may be a long journey, but by the end of the journey I have seen people moving away from unhealthy vicious cycle of the past and creating more desirable relationships with each other.

Are you overwhelmed or suffering from panic attack? Do you feel very anxious or have relationship difficulties with others? Are you looking for a therapist who can work with you in a safe place to explore your resources and find effective ways of healing through nurturing experiences? We all feel overwhelmed and don't know what to do sometimes and I believe we all have, within us, the capacity and resources we need to flourish. I am very effective in treating anxiety and panic attack.

I believe that therapy is a sacred space where a client and therapist encounter to make transformative changes as a team. My indescribable joy as a therapist is to witness my clients rise from the misery of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting issues, and troubled relationships. These are my specialties guided by a principle that St. Irenaeus best describes, “a human fully alive is the glory of God.” I help clients connect with their inner potential and resources and build effective coping strategies specific to the personality, lifestyle, and predicament.

In life, people are sometimes feeling stuck, frustrated, or overwhelmed as a result of current life stressors or have been living with long-standing issues. I have often observed that many people don’t remember their inner resources or feel they never have any inner wisdom when they are in challenging situations. I believe that therapeutic process could help people remember their innate resources such as strengths, wisdom, positive emotions, etc.I will support people in improving their lives by gaining personal insights, making healthier choices in difficult times, and allowing for positive change to occur in their lives.

I believe in the adaptive healing power that is innate in all of us. A large part of our negative reactions and self-defeating behavior come from the unconscious, that is outside of our reasoning and willpower. By tapping directly into the unconscious and changing the way some memories are stored in the brain, we can stop reacting and begin responding in an adaptive manner. As a licensed psychologist, I have worked with children and adolescents and their families for the past 20 years. I would love to guide you in your journey of self-discovery and wellness.

저는 12년 이상의 경력을 가진 면허 받은 결혼 및 가족 상담사입니다. 저는 인지행동치료 (CBT), 수용전념치료 (ACT), 그리고 정서중심치료 (EFT) 훈련을 받았으며 어린이, 청소년, 성인들과 함께 자아존중감, 정체성 발달, 인간관계 어려움, 불안, 우울증, ADHD, 트라우마와 같은 문제에 대해 상담하고 있습니다. 특히 그들이 삶의 도전을 극복하도록 도와드리고 더 건강한 관계로 나아갈 수 있도록 돕고 있습니다. 저는 임상 경험을 넘어서, 언어를 공유하지 않는 둘 이상의 당사자 간의 소통 간극을 좁히는 통역자의 역할이 굉장히 매력적이라고 생각합니다. 마찬가지로 저는 심리 상담사로서 개개인이 자신의 감정에 대한 개인 통찰력과 이해를 높이고 다른 사람과의 관계를 더 강화하도록 마음의 언어를 번역하는 일을 돕습니다. 아주 작은 의사 소통 스타일, 관점 및 명확성이 어떻게 개인과 가족의 삶을 크게 변화시켜 치유를 가져오는지 목격하는 것은 저에게 있어 큰 기쁨입니다. 저는 여러분 곁에서 여러분이 미래에 대한 새로운 희망, 신뢰 및 기대를 경험하도록 도와드리기를 희망합니다.

때로는 삶이 마치 롤러코스터를 탄 것 같을 때가 있습니다. 어떤 때는 모든 것이 잘 되어 세상에 부러운 것이 없는 것 같다가 한순간에 아래로 한없이 떨어져서 두렵고 몹시 당황스러우며 그 곳에서 헤어나오지 못할 것 같을 때가 있습니다. 이렇게 불안하고 우울하거나 또는 어려움에 처한 분들을 안정되고 희망이 있는 곳으로 가도록 돕고자 합니다. 여러분의 정서적, 육체적, 그리고 영적 회복이 진정한 회복이라고 믿습니다.

Sometimes, we feel stuck in negative personal/relational patterns; are reeling from a loss, hurt or other traumatic events; are navigating transitions/changes and desiring clarity and direction; are grappling with existential/spiritual questions; struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, and/or addiction; or, are struggling with family issues including cultural conflicts and abuse. I collaborate with individuals, couples, and families to discover positive and adaptive ways to move forward that are uniquely empowering and authentic to who they are.

Many of us are struggling to get through the days as we deal with the stress of balancing complicated thoughts and feelings about identity, relationships, and coping with the constant pressures of living in our current situation. Whether it is the state of our society, personal and relational struggles, or all of the above, I would be honored to walk with you as a supportive, consistent, and helpful companion and guide in your journey towards healing and strength. I view the therapeutic relationship as an equal partnership as we work together towards the fulfillment of your personal and relational goals.

Authenticity, self-acceptance, and social justice are the tenets that guide my work as a therapist.

Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 24 years of counseling experience. I have many years of experience in the areas of depression, anxiety, relationship issues, victims of abuse and codependency. I also offer Christian-based therapy for real-life issues. In addition, I am a certified Family Mediator. My goal is to help clients overcome their present adversities and to achieve more peaceful and fulfilled future.

Do you feel like you hide behind a mask while pressuring yourself to be perfect or please others to feel at peace? Do you constantly seek reassurance from others and avoid conflict? Do you find yourself trapped in an endless cycle of overthinking, self-doubt, and fear? You may feel powerless and stuck in a toxic, unfulfilling relationship. You may be a highly sensitive empathic person, a great helper and giver to others, but struggles to extend the same compassion to yourself. Childhood or complex trauma can keep you stuck in a feelings-state of shame, self-blame and depression, leaving you feeling helpless and isolated.

Relationships can be difficult to manage and maintain, and they can be a source of great discontentment. You are left wondering what happened, thinking "Why am I so lonely?" or "Why do I feel so distant from my partner?" Whether it is with an intimate partner, family members, friends, or even with yourself, relationships can leave you feeling unsettled, disconnected, stuck, and empty. Props to you for seeking out therapy! The fact that you are here shows that you want more fulfilling relationships and are willing to explore how to connect on a deeper level.

Life is sometimes unexpectedly difficult and suffering can be inevitable. However, how you respond to life circumstances can drastically change your ability to enjoy life. I have worked with those that believed in lies about themselves after a traumatic incident, childhood, or their own minds. These lies can be crippling and result in anxiety, depression, addictions, school related difficulties, stress, anger, parenting, communication difficulties, relational issues, family problems, job dissatisfaction and more. I provide different perspectives that encourage personal healing and relief. Change your mind change your life
