Some problems in life can be difficult to deal with. It can be hard to make progress. It can be hard to understand why we feel the way we do, or to understand why we do the things we do. We can be stifled by fear, hampered by low self-esteem, or suffer from being too hard on ourselves. It can seem that we have the same kind of problems or painful emotions over and over.
The good news is that although things can seem complicated, there is always a reason, a belief, an experience, a meaning, a fear, or a combination of these that are the underlying cause of repetitive problems and difficult emotions such as anger, despair or depression.
I am a family and marriage therapist licensed in California with a wide range of experience over 30 years that includes working for: CPS, adolescent residential treatment centers, substance abuse treatment center, psychiatric hospitals and doing psychiatric evaluations in a hospital ER. I have seen it all and dealt with it all.
