Female Therapists in San Pedro, CA

Feeling stressed or overwhelmed? Tearing up or having crying spells? Family, relationships or work becoming more challenging? Or maybe, past situations are now causing feelings of sadness, anger, or shame because you can't forget the memory though you try. These are things that many people deal with on daily basis, however you don't have to do it alone. Therapy is an opportunity to learn ways of coping with things that can be emotionally draining. Counseling is not only what I do, but what I love! You will have the opportunity to share your thoughts in an environment free from judgment or criticism.

Therapy work is a process of self discovery that's both fulfilling and challenging. As a psychotherapist, my commitment is to provide you with a safe and creative context for an ongoing collaboration. Together, with compassion, persistence and humor, we'll work to identify and uncover self-sabotaging behaviors: the conditioned ways of being and outmoded ways of thinking that often manifest as confusion, self-doubt, fear, anger or anxiety.

Resolving personal issues and the work of self-discovery can be a difficult but rewarding journey. Undertaking this challenge in a thoughtful way, with someone who acts as support and guide, helps illuminate the process. Relationship issues, romantic, familial or social, can be filled with confusion, anger, jealousy and the loss of self-worth. They can also be the seeds for better understanding who you are in the moment and who you really want to be.

Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us. -David Richo I believe that therapy should be a safe and comfortable place for people to come and talk. Therapy can be scary and maybe overwhelming at times. The connection between a therapist and a client has the ability to foster change and growth and as a therapist I look forward to hearing your stories.

I am happy to consult with you to help you in the process of finding someone who feels like the right fit. If it doesn't feel like I'm the person that's right for you, I can make other recommendations within my professional network. You don't have to do this alone and finding the right person and reaching out can be the hardest step. Especially, when looking through a sea of nicely positioned head shots. The number one factor for success in therapy is the connection between therapist and client and I believe my strength is to always attempt genuine and authentic understanding for your story and how you got to this place.

I believe that every individual is a whole and healthy being. Trauma that occurs in childhood or later in life creates a block that makes one feel less than whole and far from healthy. Because of this, anxiety, depression, addictions to substances, food, and other destructive behaviors become a way of coping. My goal is to help my clients restore the feeling of wholeness and well-being by providing a safe, supportive and nurturing environment in which they can work through difficult issues and restore their true selves. I see it everyday...
