Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Therapists in Lake Balboa, CA

I help people of all ages feel more optimistic and enthusiastic about life, without medication. I specialize in the release of depression, anxiety, negativity, jealousy, lack of motivation, weight issues, perfectionism, anger problems and anything that is a result of low self-esteem. If you would like to move through the world with more confidence and ease, you must be willing to see yourself in a different way, and with Rapid Transformational Therapy and hypnotherapy, I can help you achieve that. As human beings, we can get stuck in a pattern of negative thinking and that only keeps us from getting what we want. So, I work with the subconscious mind to change the neural pathways in your brain so that a new way of thinking can change your trajectory in this life, getting you out of your own way and giving you a fresh perspective.

Navigating life's challenges is never easy, but reaching out for help is a brave first step to living a more genuine and fulfilling life. I have expertise in working with individuals struggling with childhood trauma and trauma-related symptoms such as grief, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relational conflict. I believe every client is unique and deserves to be listened to and understood in an empathetic way. I am passionate about creating a safe, kind, collaborative and judgment-free space where clients can attain new insights, experience new feelings, and find a renewed sense of physical and mental well-being.

Nobody’s childhood dream was to grow up and feel overwhelmed, alone, stuck or unworthy. I aim to help individuals heal from trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues. If you find yourself living without a navigation system to understand emotional terrain or trauma that impacts your well-being; you are not alone. All of us go through rough patches in our lives. My approach is specific to meet your unique needs in a safe and non-judgemental space.

Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences that often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

Choosing a therapist can be difficult, complicated by therapy jargon. To put it simply, we will examine your past, evaluate your present, and collaborate on your future. Therapy is not without risk. However, I will provide a safe environment and a non-judgmental ear for you to explore your life and its infinite possibilities. You will determine where you want to go, and I will work with you to help you get there. I look forward to hearing from you.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges, know that you don't have to face them alone. I offer a compassionate, safe space where your thoughts and feelings are welcomed and respected. Together, we can explore your experiences, unravel the complexities of your emotions, and work towards the goals that matter most to you. Whether you're navigating relationship issues, grappling with anxiety or depression, or seeking to heal from trauma, my approach is tailored to meet you where you are.

I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Certified ADHD Professional. I work through a depth-psychology lens to pinpoint and heal developmental and trauma wounds by identifying unconscious/subconscious thoughts that create the symptoms that lead you to therapy. Meanwhile, I simultaneously provide knowledge and tools to empower and guide you to discovery of your true Self. During the pandemic I experienced and then trained in brainspotting, which I use in person, online, and over the phone to nuke the source of stubborn symptoms that have not responded to traditional talk therapy.
