Anxiety Therapists in La Canada Flintridge, CA

When you receive a Cancer diagnosis , no matter how treatable, your life changes. The cancer journey is both one of physical endurance as well as emotional challenges. Along with finding the proper medical treatment team it is important to find psychological support that will carry you through the many feelings of anxiety, fear, depression, sadness and loss in addition to feelings of building resilience and hope. I am a health psychologist experienced in working with oncology and palliative care patients. My focus is to partner with you and your family to manage emotional distress in your cancer journey.

When adults and children alike build an understanding of their emotional worlds, they are better equipped to cope with life’s challenges. As your therapist, I will provide an empathic relationship in which we will explore the unique experiences and emotions, both past and present, that bring you to therapy today. Young clients may not yet be able to name their feelings, or have an awareness of what triggers challenging behaviors. Through Play Therapy, I will support your child to process feelings, increase emotional vocabulary, and develop positive coping skills. With older children, I often employ evidence-based CBT/Mindfulness.

I don't believe that struggling is weak or wrong, it allows us to grow into stronger and more capable people. I think that there are some experiences that hit us a little harder than others and have us needing some support along the way, everyone has conflict and difficulty in their lives at one time or another. I also believe that our emotional challenges can affect our physical experience through anxiety symptoms, chronic pain, exhaustion and difficulty sleeping as well as in other ways.

Are you self-critical? Do you worry about others judging you? You wish your life was different. You are constantly on the go, juggling two or three things at the same time including the help you offer others because you can’t stop yourself. What will others say to your “No’s, what would they think of you? You fear their judgment. Sometimes, you just want to be left alone. You sometimes snap at people you love and then feel guilty. You don’t enjoy life like you used to. Where is the motivation you had before? I will help you ease self-doubt, feel more confident, and have healthier relationships.

Through relational connection, collaborating on concrete coping skills, and exploration of current and past patterns, I have seen tremendous healing in my partnership with clients.
