Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Redlands, CA

Since 1999, my practice has been guided by a deep belief in the transformative power of understanding our childhood experiences to improve how we think and behave as adults. By exploring and gaining insight into these foundational experiences, we can challenge and update the beliefs that no longer serve us, facilitating personal growth and healthier relationships. I specialize in an integrative therapeutic approach, combining Internal Family Systems (IFS) with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), alongside other targeted interventions like letter writing and psychodynamic therapy.

As a parent, it's so hard to watch your teen or young adult struggle. You know they're capable of so much, yet they seem to be sidelined by lack of energy, confusion about who they are, and an inability to see a bright future for themselves. I enjoy working with teens and young adults who struggle with tackling life. I'm skilled with helping young adults and teens who feel “stuck” – they know they're capable of so much, but they just don’t know where to start in making the life of their dreams happen. I know how to work with young people so that they gain much needed direction and confidence to allow them to soar!

If you are reading this, chances are you are struggling with something. Life is filled with challenges: managing relationships, coping with feelings of hopelessness, insecurity, trying to contend with daily stress or pressure, or picking up the pieces of a life that has just been torn apart. Are you reaching out or looking for a way to make things better? Are you seeking a way to restore your energy, enthusiasm and passion for life? You do not have to work through your problems alone! Psychotherapy works and you are about to take the first step in getting "back on track."

In our work together, I will aim to help you feel understood as we explore the life difficulties you have faced, and currently face. I emphasize empathy in my work, and provide a safe environment in which to help you process your painful experiences and understand how they may be influencing your current struggles. Unprocessed emotional pain is commonly at the core of the symptoms we experience; yet it is often dismissed or suppressed. We will process your feelings and experiences to help make sense out of them and reduce your symptoms.

Are you feeling burdened by pain from your past? Do you feel like particular past experiences are keeping you from enjoying your life today? You can be free from the pain! Are you feeling discouraged and overwhelmed by current stressors in your life? Do you just want to be happy and able to live in the moment? You deserve to experience joy!

Everyday you see your child struggling, and, to be honest, so are you. Everyone around you tells you that your child or teen just needs more discipline...more structure...stricter rules...but you think that maybe they just need help adjusting to this pandemic - and to life. I hear you, and I’d love to help. I’ve worked with many kids just like yours with overcoming their challenges and engaging in life again. My warm and inviting personality allows me to connect easily with my clients, and I offer a whole range of science-based, therapeutic strategies to assist kids with learning new ways of handling their strong emotions.

Talk therapy isn't enough and you're having a tough time containing your feelings, thoughts, urges and physical sensations. It’s spilling out into your personal and professional relationships and moving you further away from the life you imagined. Panic, grief and shame have you holding back, making it impossible to risk or rest. You are willing to work, just don't know where to start. You're realizing you need experienced support to not only heal and accept your tender parts, but also real tools you can put into action to self-regulate, transform and be able to grow through this! You want to get better and you will.

Are there times when you feel like you are just hanging on, going through the motions without really living, struggling to deal with substantial problems or life traumas? Then it is time to face the challenges that life has brought you and move toward the life that you envision. A life that is peace-filled, satisfying, bringing out the gifts that you carry inside - it is possible! Counseling is a process to help you enhance your life path, heal your life traumas, stop addictive patterns, and move forward. NOW is time to begin your journey - we can start together.

The focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. I achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan. I help individuals focus on the Solution.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) currently working with clients statewide in California via telehealth. I have over 12 years of clinical experience treating adults, couples, and adolescents in a variety of settings and have worked extensively with the LGBTQIA+ community. I welcome clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities. Often the clients who seek out my help are experiencing depression, anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship problems, or questioning/exploring their sexual orientation or gender identity. My goal is to help you understand what you want and what's holding you back.

Do you struggle saying no when asked to do something? Do you say yes and then immediately regret it? Do you feel burnt out from life's demands? I have spent the last 9 years in the field and have worked in various settings including inpatient psychiatric hospital care, individual therapy, couples therapy and group therapy. I have helped individuals ranging from those who have mild symptoms or troubles to individuals with chronic and severe symptoms and illnesses and one thing they have in common is needing a support system and help setting important boundaries in their life in order to start living for themselves again!

Everyone is experiencing unique challenges right now. Some are considering therapy for the first time. Reach out. Get the support you need. Times of stress can bring out ways of coping that are not useful or helpful, they can surface old wounds and patterns that are painful. Take the time and space you need to take care of yourself. Whether you just need to work on the anxiety related to your life right now or you want to finally get to the roots of "stuck" patterns, this is a good time to start.

Seeking tranquility? Are you looking for relief from your stress or hoping to end turmoil in your life? Are you stuck in a rut in your job or relationship with your partner? Are you feeling unfulfilled? If you answered yes to any of these, your search is over. I will help you begin the process of discovering your peace and harmony.

Life is often difficult and challenging in the best of times. When you face anxiety, stress, depression, and feelings of inadequacy, the pain can be overwhelming. Life changes, relationship issues, family stress, and career challenges can activate deep feelings of confusion, failure, and being unlovable. If life has become too difficult to manage on your own, and you need assistance and support to sort things out, make necessary changes, and discover your innate talents and value, I can help. I have been working with people to face and grow from the pain in their lives for 44 years.

I’m here to witness your lived in experience. I believe that who you are is a culmination of having survived the pains of life and how you learned to get love. I don't feel the need to fix you but will push you to lean into your humanity by rediscovering the parts of yourself you had to abandon to receive love. I act as a mirror for you to see yourself more clearly, to realize that love has been and is already inside of you.
