Divorce Therapists in Irvine, CA

I am currently taking new patients. The difficulties, pain, and sometimes confusion that arises in trying to meet emotional needs may lead to seeking help. I am a psychologist, marriage family therapist, and psychoanalyst with more than 25 years of experience treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My approach connects to my patients with empathy and insight beyond basic support. This is a collaborative approach to therapy.

Do you feel alone even when there are people around you? Do you feel empty inside? Do you struggle with creating and maintaining lasting relationships? I would like to help you with that. No doubt, you have tried to handle things alone, but that empty, heavy or lonely feeling is still there. If you often feel frustrated or disappointed in your relationships with others; if you have experienced a deep longing for a connection with another person and have not been able to create such a connection; if you have suffered a loss of a meaningful relationship - it is time to let someone help you.

I am now open to clients in California and Nevada. As your therapist, I utilize a client-centered approach tailored to your goals and needs. I actively listen to your needs and desires with genuine care, empathy, and respect. I strive to create a safe and comfortable experience, identifying possible solutions to help you better understand yourself and others and teaching you healthier coping skills to manage your stressors effectively.

I understand that seeking counseling while struggling with your depression, anxiety, grief, and/or relationship conflicts can be a stressful and overwhelming experience. Therefore, from our first contact, I try to help you feel as supported and comfortable as possible in each session while first understanding your reasons for seeking therapy and then collaboratively identifying realistic goals for you. I strive to help you move from where you feel stuck now to where you want to be in the future.

Life could be thought of as a journey with many challenges, twists, turns, and peak experiences. Therapy is a personal investment we make in our self It can be a part of our life journey where we get to know and understand our self and others, and find the true meaning and purpose of our life. It can afford a person an opportunity to outgrow insecurities, discover his or her strength and become the best person you can possibly be. Therapy is for everyone a place to learn and grow.

Can heartbreak be cured? If so, how long will it take? Must it hurt so much? Is therapy going to help? Sadly, a broken heart cannot be cured; as with the loss of any beloved, grieving is unavoidable. But yes, a therapist helps by journeying alongside you, listening, offering comfort and wisdom gained from years of helping others regain their footing and with time, trust in love again. Why not you?

Are your Anxiety and Depression preventing you from enjoying life and relationships? Do you find yourself alone and disconnected from your loved ones? Are you looking to understand the problems you're facing on a deeper level to make lasting changes and re-claim your life? In working with me, you will find my services as a guide to help you through the difficulties of anxiety and depression and the veil they have set in all aspects of your life.

Anxiety hurts. Whether it wakes you up in the morning and lingers all day or hits you like gang busters when you least expect it. Whether you know where it's coming from or not, anxiety tells you something is wrong and needs fixing. Anxiety is often tied to trauma and grief. You lose a person, relationship or perhaps a dream and you're left in a puddle of pain. Therapy is about working through grief and finding the courage to start again. You develop coping skills to feel better and communication skills to express your needs. You identify personal goals, and together, we chart your course toward your best and truest self.

I am committed to helping people achieve a sense of happiness, health, and well-being and to maximize their potential in life. In our first session, we will explore the changes you want to make and together we will collaborate on a treatment plan designed to help you reach your goals. I see clients from age 16 to late adulthood for individual, couples or family therapy. I see people for a variety of issues and am especially skilled in working with families, older adults, executives, and other professionals. I'm skilled in many different types of evidenced based therapies.

I believe that healing and change begins with the therapeutic relationship. Through a safe, caring and nonjudgmental space we can process difficult emotions, gain awareness of what keeps us in suffering, and integrate newfound insights which bring relief. I am sensitive to the ways our past experiences and future anxieties impact our present. Together we will explore and discover what unfolds moment-to-moment to gain new understanding and begin healing.

Welcome! My passion lies in working with individuals desiring to achieve more independence for themselves, working through uncomfortable feelings, establishing better boundaries, improving relationships, and increasing self-esteem and self-worth. Ask yourself the following, what areas in your life are you avoiding? Where are you feeling stuck? It takes courage to seek help and desire to work through your issues. Through therapy, we can address how your struggles are impacting you. We will work on ways to help you feel safe, empowered, and to have the skills to manage stressors.
