Interpersonal Therapists in Yucca Valley, CA

Seeking therapy can feel daunting. Even when we know something has to change, it can feel more comfortable to stick with old habits. Clients are often surprised when I say - we keep "bad" habits for good reasons. We develop patterns to feel safe when we lack internal or outside supports to help us feel grounded, connected, accomplished, or hopeful. I support clients to increase their awareness of their own patterns, perceptions, reactions, learned behaviors, and true desires, so they have more choice in how they respond to people and situations and can take steps to build better relationships and more fulfilling lives.

I help creatives, public people, academics, designers, corporate, and tech professionals heal from trauma. You may excel in some areas yet suffer anxiety, depression (stuck/lost), and relationship pain. A past with abuse, neglect, emotional disconnect can result in both thriving and overactive survival instincts. I provide a warm judgment-free space, strict confidentiality, modern research-based techniques, and 25 years of mental health experience. I offer EMDR, IFS (internal family systems/parts work), Somatic Experiencing, & psychedelic ketamine work. I also specialize with ASD/neurodivergent (autism), DID/dissociation, & LGBTQ+.

It is not easy to ask for help.  I believe that in order to heal and move forward in our lives, we need to be able to dig deep and figure out what is holding us back.  While this can be challenging and at times uncomfortable, it is not something you need to do alone.

We all experience anxiety, depression and interpersonal stress at one time or another. Often, we are able to cope with these experiences on our own or with help from our loved ones. When our pain persists despite our best efforts, we turn to someone with training and experience for help. Research and tradition teach us that sharing our painful experiences within the context of a supportive and focused therapeutic relationship can help us cope with and even overcome our emotional pain. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I have dedicated my academic and professional activities to helping others get better.

While I believe that all of us have the strength to overcome our own struggles, I also believe that therapy makes that process easier. With professional help, you can overcome issues with less time, less strain on your relationships, and less impact on your overall well-being. I personally and professionally, believe in the power of this process, and look forward to meeting you where you are to face your struggles together.

As we wonder how to navigate life, we may face several obstacles and challenges that can seem overwhelming or unbearable.

Eating disorders are painful illnesses that are influenced by many factors. Eating disorders can be lonely but you do not have to face this alone.

Additionally, I have lived experience of healing from an eating disorder which brings a unique level of empathy to the therapy process. I love working with folks who are open to exploration and ready to receive support.

As a clinical psychologist , I work with clients to increase insight about reasons for distress and dysfunction; formulate predictions about desired goals and pitfalls to avoid; and plan/apply realistic, yet appropriately-challenging steps to achieve set goals. Thanks to APA-accredited doctoral training and years of experience, I offer a range of empirically supported therapeutic tools customized around my client's unique cultural identities and specific needs, and influenced by C(B)T, DBT, ACT, Dynamic, Interpersonal, and other models of therapy.

I provide counseling services to adults of all ages who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, chronic pain, interpersonal difficulties, as well as workplace issues.
