Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in La Verne, CA

Aloha, Are you or your loved ones struggling with anxiety, depression, or chronic pain? Do you find yourself compulsively eating, drinking, working, or seeking relationships in order to fill the inner void? Do you and your partner sometimes get caught in a negative interaction pattern that prevents you from experiencing love and intimacy? I have years of education, training, and clinical experiences to help you process painful emotions, learn new skills, and find new ways of connecting with self, others, and the world. I am licensed in Hawaii and California to see clients from both states.

Are your relationships strained? Do you feel like therapy is the next necessary step? Relationships can certainly be challenging. But, I believe we are innately wired for connection, and sometimes that wiring can get tangled along the way, resulting in resentment, anxiety, depression, and damaged relationships. Additionally, the challenges of maintaining a healthy work-life balance, experiencing feelings of inadequacy and limited emotional expression beyond anger and sadness, often lead to a disconnect from those we care about most. This becomes a source of frustration for us and our partners. We can work together to repair this.

Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed? Uncertain how to move forward? Coping with a chronic illness? Struggling with a loss in your life? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Humaning is hard, therapy should not be. When we begin to understand ourselves better, life becomes much easier to journey through. We start to choose how we want to live instead of reacting to what life brings us. I am passionate about helping my clients find a solid sense of self, while staying emotionally connected with others. I strive to create a safe, genuine, supportive, and compassionate environment in which a lasting positive change can be made.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, wondering why you have strong reactions to small stressors or during interactions with others. Life doesn't wait for us to resolve each bad experience/trauma in life, they build up over time and leave us feeling hopeless, alone and disconnected from others. Our past traumas, if unresolved, can impact us negatively with how we interact with others. For the last 19 years, I have helped individuals from all walks of life overcome issues such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationship issues, traumas, and work/school stressors.

We are all aware that life can be challenging, and often feels out of our control. Sometimes we are surrounded by obstacles that seem insurmountable, and at other times even the simple things overwhelm us. There are days when you know exactly what is bothering you, and other days that it feels as though you're walking through a heavy cloud and simply can't find your way through. You want things to get better, but you can't make it happen. You've tried different ways of controlling or changing your situation, or just "looking on the bright side," but perhaps more often than you would like those efforts fall short.
