Trauma Focused Therapists in Brea, CA

With passion, I provide psychotherapy to individuals and people-in-relationships (couples, families, parent-child dyads) to improve relationship dynamics, heal from relational losses and difficulties, and restore potentials to be in relationships. Issues in treatment I specialize in include: grief and loss, trauma, parent-child bonding challenges, child behavioral management/parenting, depression, anxiety, interpersonal conflicts. Contact me if you are seeking help in topics relating to life transitions, self-esteem, personal growth, and cultural and faith-related struggles, including spiritual abuse. With an interpersonal and reflective approach, I consider it a privilege to embark in this journey with you.

Family building (including adoption and foster care), women's issues, infertility/pregnancy loss, work related stress, anxiety and trauma are some of the areas that I have had the most personal and clinical experience. I can help you to work through the struggles that you are facing by collaborating with you in a comforting and safe environment. I offer support and guidance in a nonjudgmental setting where you can decipher your true feelings, needs and desires and work out the ways to achieve your goals.

I firmly believe in the value of each person, and their capacity to change for the better. It is often difficult to know how to initiate and maintain positive change, though. I enjoy partnering with clients to increase insight into what has led to the issues they bring to me. Whether that client is dealing with addiction, trauma, depression, or another issue, finding an individually-tailored path to positive change is the goal.

High school and college should be times of joy, peace, purpose, and growth. Maybe you’re smart, take challenging classes, and get good grades, but you're being held back by anxiety, depression, or trauma. It can be a big relief to find someone you can have judgement-free conversations with. People tend to say they feel safe with me and that they feel more peaceful after we talk. I'll help you move forward and take the next steps in your friendships, education, job, or career.
