Teletherapy for Hermosa Beach, CA
I have had over 20 years experience impacting the lives of children, adolescents and adults with emotional disturbances and often extensive trauma histories. The symptom presentation can range but often the cause is a mixture of biological factors and environmental stress combined with an inability to effectively process and deal with these stresses. I create meaningful working relationships, even when someone may be skeptical of the benefits of therapy. I then work collaboratively to improve coping skills and the ability to handle challenging situations with minimal to no impairment today and in the future.

We seek therapy for so many reasons: relationship challenges, physical pain, parenting, isolation, depression, anxiety, career. Sometimes it's just hard to live with uncertainty. I work with all kinds of addictions and intimacy challenges. I treat people of all ages who are going through life transitions: graduations, marriage, new baby, career changes, divorce, illness - while others are athletes and artists wanting greater achievements. Many are grieving or just needing someone to listen. Together, we can determine what kind of therapy will work for you.

I believe that to become better versions of ourselves, we must first work towards healing and processing our past wounds. Sometimes our wounds and past traumas can hold us back from being better partners, parents, and individuals. I need to provide you with a safe and nurturing environment to heal and grow. My focus throughout the past years has been providing culturally responsive care as well as LGBTQ+ affirming care while working with clients toward their goals, building upon their strengths, and facilitating an environment for growth toward self-acceptance and self-empowerment.

Is your self-doubt, anxiety, depression, or recent life change is holding you back from reaching your full potential in life? Do you want to make positive changes but don’t know where to start? Do you feel alone in your suffering? The good news is that you are not alone! Therapy ensures that we do not have to experience life's struggles on our own. I like to think of a therapist as a flashlight in a dark forest. While I may not be able to take you out of the forest itself, I will go through the experience with you, providing non-judgmental and compassionate guidance, support, and insight along the way.

As a proud Clinical Social Worker/Therapist (LCSW), my passion and specialization centers around trauma in relationships as a child and through adulthood. The heart of my work is in the power of here and now processing, shifts in awareness and discovering new possibilities, rather than staying stuck in old patterns that may be hard to identify. This includes my inherent belief that our work together will move towards a place where my clients will take charge of their experience, their reactions, and will grow the capacity to live life on life's terms with an authentic sense of self and a felt sense of pride.

In a safe and trusting environment, I work with you to identify goals and potential solutions to problems causing emotional turmoil, help you improve communication and coping skills, and support you to strengthen self-esteem and promote behavior change, resulting in improved mental health. I look forward to meeting you . . . or your child! — Morgan

Happiness, contentment, and love are our birthright, yet painful life experiences can sometimes block our access to them. As your therapist, I intend to offer an experience of being deeply seen, understood and accepted. With over 10 years of experience in private practice, I am continually amazed by the power of these essential remedies. Together, we will learn about the roots of your current struggles, and challenge the beliefs that may be keeping them in place. I help clients to take this learning into daily life with an expanded repertoire of interpersonal, emotional, and problem-solving skills.

I work with motivated clients who find themselves feeling "stuck", stressed, and fatigued and are looking for a way out of destructive or unhelpful cycles. I value a depth-approach to therapy that identifies patterns in your life that no longer serve you so that you may feel more free and confident. Starting therapy can be daunting and can come with many taboos, but alongside a curious therapist, you will find the resolution and clarity you've been looking for. I bring a grounded presence that will allow you to safely explore areas of your life you may have not looked at before to have you feeling more in control of your life.
