Therapists in Long Beach, CA

Therapy with me is infused with humor, practicality, and compassion. I often use humor to help you build the skills you need to deal with all the challenges that come from doing life. I'm your biggest cheerleader, but also strive to give you helpful direction, and tangible skills tailored to your specific needs. I validate what you're feeling, but am also ready to call you out when helpful. I believe the ultimate goal of therapy is to help you build a life worth living, whatever that means to you!

Life is full of big questions that we all struggle with at some point or another. Who am I? What do I want? Why do I feel, think, or do what I do? What’s the point? When we’re faced with these questions, a spark is ignited within us. Therapy is an opportunity to nurture that spark by exploring these questions with someone who can help you think through new perspectives and ideas to define an existence that is uniquely yours. It’s also an opportunity to connect with a person in an authentic, supportive, safe way.

The clients that I collaborate most effectively with are those who are in a place of thoughtful contemplation-curious about their lives, their symptoms, their struggles and successes, and the impact of their decision making on their everyday experience. Through both traditional "information gathering" assessment and innovative "collaborative/ therapeutic assessment," together we can begin to better understand you within the context of your life experiences, cultural affiliation, and familial background and history, and set the stage for growth. My goal is to make our assessment a positive and useful experience, and to help you create positive therapeutic changes in your life.

Congratulations for taking action! Sometimes we need to re-write our stories, change directions, or get back on track, before our lives are the way we desire, and more importantly the way we deserve. I offer a compassionate space for individuals to heal from past wounds, stop self-defeating and self-destructive patterns, increase self-awareness so that they may express themselves and make progress in their lives.

Taking the first steps towards healing our inner wounds is a journey that does not have to be made alone. Therapy is a space for your to be seen, heard, and foster a sense of security. With a client centered approach, I am here to walk side by side you, with a goal of making you feel empowered to make the positive changes you want to make for your life. By navigating our past experiences, we uncover patterns, messages, and beliefs we internalize that holds us back in our present moments. Gaining awareness of our past, and making new meaning, we are able to create new experiences for our future.

Have you boundaried too close to the sun, and now your only support is a few friends you only text when something goes wrong? Are you starting to wonder if people think you're the problem? Is it making you second-guess yourself even more than usual? Find these, and more questions designed to lovingly call you out, at our first therapy session! Therapy with me is all about creating a life that makes sense for you - even if other people don't get it. Yes, we still want to show up for others, but we have to get comfortable putting ourselves first.

My ideal clients span generations, encompassing children, teens, and adults, each with their unique set of challenges and aspirations. Children may grapple with anxiety, behavioral issues, or difficulties adjusting to life changes. Teens often face identity struggles, peer pressure, and academic stress. Adults may contend with relationship conflicts, career transitions, or unresolved trauma. Regardless of age, my clients share a common need for understanding, validation, and support. They seek a safe space to explore their emotions, confront their fears, and cultivate resilience.

I enjoy working with clients from different racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds and incorporating those facets into a more holistic approach to therapy. I have extensive experience using evidence-based treatments to address depression, anxiety, trauma and substance disorders.

Do you feel like lost in a maze trying to get out? Do you feel off balance trying to find your center again? If you are feeling stuck or overwhelmed, and you are close to the point of running out of hope, give me a call as I can help you to find freedom and relief. There is a way out, and together we can find it. You are not alone in this journey!

I welcome clients of all ethnicities, sexual identities, religious/spiritual belief systems and socioeconomic status' who are struggling with something in their lives that is making it hard to engage in interpersonal and/or other relationships. This could include difficulty functioning in your romantic partnerships, occupational/educational duties, family systems, and, most importantly, your relationship with yourself. Whether you want to heal from something in the past, learn how to be fully present and confident in your life today, or set yourself up for success in the future, no goal is too small.

I am most passionate about working with individuals who are motivated to do therapeutic work; who are willing to explore themselves and take action toward desired change. I work well with individuals experiencing anxiety and low mood which may look like a lack of self-confidence; feeling stuck; sense of overwhelm; guilt; shame; disconnection from self and others; and sometimes a general longing for more joy and sense of purpose in day to day life. It can be challenging to balance all life’s conflicting obligations while also making sure not to lose sight of yourself.

Hi. Sometimes our past, & present can hurt, can cause pain and suffering that prevents us from living the present and future lives that we want and deserve. Please allow me to assist you in taking a load off of your back that you’re carrying in this ongoing journey we call life. This life can be hard to live in & challenging, let me help you develop the armor, & equip the best weapons, to fight this fight. We will work together so that anxiety, anger, depression, or any other negative emotional state, will not get in the way of you achieving your goals & living a values driven life worth living that is full of meaning & purpose.

I believe therapy heals from the inside out, cultivates resilience and growth, builds a life of meaning and purpose, empowering one to fully engage with life as their authentic self. In a welcoming, sex-positive, affirming, judgement-free environment, together in partnership with you. I will mindfully customize my approach to meet your unique needs and comfort level, to bring about growth and change that goes beyond relieving distress. What I love about therapy is the journey, being able to help clients identify and enact value driven choices, accomplish goals that promote actualizing the meaningful life in which they envisioned.

The perfect client might have gone through tough times like trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship struggles. But together, we can dig into the roots of trauma, find hidden patterns, and set off on a life-changing journey towards emotional healing. Throughout this process, we'll rediscover joy, nurture relationships, and revitalize our overall well-being.

Life can present challenges that take two to process and understand. I believe a good therapeutic relationship is a dynamic conversation that can change your perspective and positively impact your everyday life. I offer a trained empathic ear, an inquisitive mind, and a safe environment to explore your thoughts and feelings about whatever is troubling you.

I know that it can be hard sometimes to ask for help. Are you feeling the pressure to be everything to everyone, and not having the same support? Do you have feelings of not being enough, and hearing that inner critic remind you of your past? Have you been suppressing your emotions and find yourself being emotional "out of the blue" and unable to understand why? Are you feeling unappreciated, underestimated, unworthy, or unbalanced? Taking the first steps on the road to heal can be scary, I am here to support, encourage & empower you. To support you as you release the anger, release the stress and restore the love.
