Therapists in Lancaster, CA

I believe that one of the most courageous steps we can take when experiencing mental health challenges is seeking the support of a mental health professional. I believe that our lived experiences and lack of experience influence the way we manage and adapt to life stressors and changes. My hope is to support you in exploring ways in which you can reduce mental health distress and improve your overall mental health well-being.

I can assist and support you with problem-solving skills, traumas, and collaboratively work with you in obtaining new coping strategies for issues such as: Depression, anxiety, relational disruptions, unresolved childhood issues, stress management, and more. Many of my clients have shared that attending therapy with myself has helped them learn new techniques in self-management and personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and some of life daily stressors. I can work with you in achieving a fresh perspective on a difficult problem and help you identify your true authentic self.

What happens when you and your spouse disagree? Do you go round and round with no resolution? Or does one of you get frustrated and stop talking, then you both stop talking? If you feel stuck and it seems there is no way to make things better, you may wonder if your relationship can change. I have good news. There is a path to change, but your relationship is stuck in a negative cycle. This negative cycle keeps you from being able to communicate, resolve conflict, and discuss problems. If your relationship is struggling, it is probably because you are caught in a negative cycle. I want to help you get out of the negative cycle.

Anxiety steals your breath; you overthink and worry about everything; you’re on edge constantly; you feel hopeless or ready to cry at a moment’s notice; you blame yourself for just about everything or lash out at those around you. Whether panic is just a step away or you’re in the depths of despair, you’re tired of feeling this way. A part of you recognizes your reactions are outsized to the situation, but you feel helpless to change what’s happening inside of you. You’re scared this is as good as it gets, but a part of you deep inside isn’t ready to let this be the end of the story. It’s time for a change.

You deserve to live as authentically and with as much integrity as you desire in order to be the best version of yourself, but this can be difficult at times. The journey can be full of discovery or even feel scary. The things we think can lead us to our goals may not be as fulfilling as we thought. Sometimes because of what has happened before or what we think might happen. Change can be hard. It can feel overwhelming. It's different for everyone.
