Chronic Illness Therapists in 95124

Helping clients facing grief or chronic illness is my passion. I work with clients experiencing many kinds of losses, including death of a parent, partner, or one's own health. For nearly a decade, I was a hospice grief counselor providing support to individuals and families. I help clients finding meaning after devastating challenges, while developing practical coping strategies. I am certified in Thanatology, the study of death, dying and bereavement, through the Association of Death Education and Counseling (ADEC).

Depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic illness, addictions and emotional challenges can disrupt our lives and everything we hold dear. I will work with you to develop a plan and set reachable goals to improve your quality of life.

Are you experiencing the loss of a loved one, a relationship or a job, or perhaps you have lost your sense of self and just feel stuck? Are you struggling with marriage or relationship issues or transitions in life and just don't know how to move forward? You are not alone. I believe that we all can achieve a deeper understanding of ourselves and find purpose within a safe relationship which therapy can provide.

Life gets complicated. Sometimes it helps to work with a trained professional to help put things in perspective. Struggle is part of life, but it doesn’t have to define us. It has been my great joy to help clients work towards a place of empowerment and fulfillment in their lives.

Reproductive mental health is my jam... ​New or intimately familiar with an infertility diagnosis? Struggling with the invisible nature of secondary infertility? Difficulty coping with decision-making fatigue and/or endless uncertainty? Pregnant after infertility and baffled by this new identity: no longer infertile but not a civilian pregnant person either? Are you grieving a devastating pregnancy or baby loss?​ Has your miracle baby arrived and you're not "enjoying every moment?" If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, anger, grief, isolation, sadness and/or hopelessness related to family-building challenges- I got you!

Grief can result from many types of loss and life transitions: death of a loved one, loss of a relationship, miscarriage, abortion, job loss, aging, loss of our sexual selves. Walking beside those who are in the process of grief, I help them find compassion and wholeness in their life. I see clients dealing with grief as a normal and necessary process as well as those with complicated grief, anticipatory grief and trauma. Understanding the nature of grief, it is possible to get through this time of confusion, sadness, anger & loneliness to a place of hope and inner peace.

I have limited availability in my private Telehealth practice on three Saturdays per month. I hold active licenses in Hawaii and California.

Life presents unexpected challenges which can cause anxiety, depression, hopelessness, difficulties with relationships and problems with self esteem. These unresolved issues can derail us with feelings of being overwhelmed. Therapy can help you learn to manage trauma in order to deal with stressors and move through challenges with confidence so you can get back on track with your life.

Finding the right therapist for you can feel daunting! You might wonder if it's possible for someone to really get you & if opening up is worth the risk. I connect well with those who feel set apart from those around them or have difficulty connecting with others. We come to know & understand ourselves in the context of relationships. Without authentic connections, we can end up feeling really stuck - disconnected from those around us & from ourselves. Through the experience of being with another person in a safe & accepting space, the therapeutic relationship offers a unique & meaningful opportunity for self-discovery & healing.

Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, anger or defeat, as a result of a significant life change or past trauma? Maybe a relationship has ended or a new phase of life has just begun. Perhaps you’re living with the long-term effects of abuse, pain, or other traumatic experience. You may feel out of control & unsafe of your life or emotions, anxious about even the smallest things, or like you just can’t find your footing. Eventually, these things start to overflow into other areas of life: your relationships, work, and decisions about the future. Despite how hard things are right now, you know there’s more to life than this.

Life comes with many complicated challenges. At times seeking support can be difficult, but it is the first step towards discovering a pathway towards personal growth, insight and deeper self-understanding. I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Board Certified Art Therapist. I have been serving diverse populations from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, race, and socio-economic status. Most specifically, since 2005 I have been specializing in treatment of individuals that have been diagnosed with chronic pain.

Welcome! I view therapy as a means by which we can increase curiosity about ourselves and the world around us. We'll work together to identify patterns and stuck points that may be impacting your relationships, work, school, and other parts of your life. Taking steps towards healing and self-discovery can be daunting. As a therapist, I work to create a safe, supportive space in which you feel secure in exploring the parts of your life that may feel overwhelming. Whether you are coming to therapy for self-exploration or for a specific concern, I look forward to being part of your healing journey.

Change can be difficult -- Allow me to help you succeed on your journey! Throughout my years of experience, I've found great joy and satisfaction in helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with children treating for phobias, unhappiness, divorce, grief, separation issues, abuse, neglect, poor self-esteem, and problems adjusting to life transitions. I use a combination of play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy, as appropriate per the child's developmental level.
