Psychodynamic Therapists in Corona Del Mar, CA

I TREAT AFFAIRS- I invite you to pause and pay close attention to your inner voice. You have managed to avoid your concerns yet know at some level you are not satisfied. Do you sense your partner is cheating? Are you? Does your relationship lack intimacy and passion and feel alone when together? Sexual problems? Can't stop compulsive shopping or cybersex behavior? Emotionally exhausted from pointless dating? Lonely and disconnected? Missing"Hygge" in your home? When you look in the mirror are you dissatisfied? Life racing by leaving you feeling old and defeated? Longing to age gracefully? Can't sleep? Feeling bored professionally?

Everyone struggles with the challenges of life and everyone can use some help once in awhile to get through a difficult period. Challenging times can be scary and overwhelming, but they can also present an opportunity for growth and positive change if managed appropriately. In my practice, I work collaboratively and interactively with teens and adults to help identify and solve problems that get in the way of achieving life aspirations. The goal of therapy is to empower people to live richer and more satisfying lives. I use a compassionate approach when helping people make changes in their lives.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with post doctoral certification in psychodynamic psychotherapy from the Los Angeles Institute and Society of Psychoanalytic Studies, and the Newport Psychoanalytic Institute.

I offer adoption consultations and psychotherapy for all involved in the adoption triad.

I believe therapy is a process of self-discovery and achieving a fulfilling lifestyle. When our lives are out of balance, it impacts our relationships and health. Therapy can restore that balance. You will receive individualized therapy with integrative treatment approaches to help you, improve your relationships, and your surroundings. I believe every person can meet their fullest potential through awareness, insight, making necessary changes, healing and growth. I provide a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment to explore your thoughts and feelings. Together we can heal your past, live in the present and plan your future.

I provide in person and online therapeutic services to individuals throughout the lifespan. I have over a decade of experience working with individuals experiencing symptoms associated with depression, generalized and social anxiety, stress, grief and loss, self-esteem concerns, difficulties with life and social skills, life changes, re-discovering self, postpartum and peripartum depression, schizophrenia spectrum disorder, bipolar depression, borderline personality disorder, obsessive compulsive personality disorder, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for individuals struggling with anxiety/depression, trauma, substance abuse, and relationship conflict. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as attachment therapy to help you build the skills that will help you manage your anxiety and improve your relationships.

Do you often find yourself agreeing to things you don’t like or don't want to do?

As your psychologist, I’ll provide you with a safe judgment-free space to be vulnerable, where we can discuss your situation and examine your habits that are making it hard for you to stop pleasing others. During our sessions, you can feel heard and empowered to start living your life for yourself, and not others.

Are you struggling in your relationships? Constantly feeling anxious or depressed? Do you wake up in the middle of the night with a feeling that something is "wrong" or missing in your life? I believe that each of us can live richer, more satisfying lives when we examine how past circumstances and experiences are causing current difficulties and preventing us from more joyous living. Although problems may have historical roots, I believe in the importance of tending to current pain and struggles with an eye toward their origin. In today's fast-paced world, I see therapy be a sacred time for discovery and clarity.

As a therapist, I know that sometimes, you may just need someone to listen and walk through a difficult season in life with you. You may find yourself in need of a safe place to explore your thoughts and feelings about dating, a significant relationship or a life transition. You may be coping with pain in ways that are self-destructive, or feeling "stuck", sad, and/or overwhelmed by worry. I offer understanding and caring, compassionate feedback. My goal is to help you tap into your own inner wisdom, so that you can heal, grow, and thrive- ultimately living a more fulfilling life.

No matter what you're feeling or thinking or going through, I'd welcome the chance to work through it by your side--whether you're a teen or an adult, we can start figuring it out, together. If you're reading this, you might be ready to jump right in or you might be taking that first tentative step towards finding someone to talk to; either way, you've already actively moved forward (though I know it sometimes doesn't feel that way). If you're struggling with your feelings, your thoughts, or a difficult situation, I hope that you'll reach out; nobody is meant to handle everything on their own, and you absolutely don't have to.

I am excited to work with people who are interested in making a change in their life. From significant life events to dealing with the day to day challenges of life, I am enthusiastic about working with you to find ways to improve how you feel. I utilize a collaborative approach where together we determine your reasons for seeking a therapist, what you hope to gain from our time and how we can help you achieve your goals.

Navigating relationships, conflict and attachment issues can be challenging. Coping with anxiety/depression, and confronting life's unexpected challenges can add to the overwhelm of daily life. It's important that you connect with a provider who's dedicated to your goals and helping you achieve the understanding, acceptance and change you need. I am licensed in New York and California, and work exclusively with adults (individually, couples, and executives). My work is entirely evidenced-based and my approach is empathically direct and resolutely dedicated to your success.

The partnership you share with your significant other holds unparalleled potential for fulfillment, yet it also presents formidable trials. Together, we can delve into the nuances of nurturing relationship contentment and coherence. Such a journey demands persistent effort, unwavering dedication, and a willingness to negotiate. Every partnership is a unique composition, and my goal is to foster an environment where both partners feel empowered to express their emotions, concerns, and aspirations. In essence, I'm here to illuminate the path forward, bolstering your partnership's foundation, and fortifying its walls.
