Psychodynamic Therapists in Seal Beach, CA

**Currently accepting new clients** I help creative, unique, and motivated individuals from all walks of life on their journey to better themselves and live a more fulfilling life. Depression and anxiety looks different for everyone and dealing with it on your own may leave you feeling worse. Perhaps societal or family pressures have led you to believe that you need to have it all figured out, which has resulted in unsatisfying relationships and self-doubt. You don’t have to navigate overwhelming emotions on your own. Therapy creates a space to hold the conflicting parts of you without judgment in order for you to thrive.

Are life’s struggles causing you to feel overwhelmed, confused, distressed, dissatisfied, or alone? I can help you find hope and healing, and a way forward. I truly believe the connection between therapist and client is essential to successful therapy and connecting with my clients - is my greatest asset. I do this by providing a caring, non-judgmental, supportive presence and a listening ear. In this safe place, I come alongside adult individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, Co-dependency, Elder and Caregiving Issues, Life Transitions, Grief and Loss, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Faith Issues and help them move forward.

Is it a gnawing sense of anxiety, and loneliness that gets in your way? Often, I meet people who are up against strong self-criticism, doubt, low self esteem and transitions in life as they attempt to make it through the day. In my experience people come to therapy looking for something they can’t get elsewhere. You are not alone. Together we can resolve these struggles opening-up to new potential and life purpose.

After over twenty years in practice I have extensive experience in treating anxiety and depression secondary to life stress and transitions. Many of my clients are struggling with difficult relationships where they need to learn new methods of communicating, identify reoccurring and destructive patterns, or make decisions to either more fully commit to or let go of their partners. I focus on therapy to generate coping skills to deal with the changes that challenge us through our lifespan, such as separation, divorce, infertility, birth, family conflict, death or loss of a loved one, retirement, empty nest, and aging issues.
