Therapists in Fullerton, CA

Do you feel overwhelmed with daily stressors, relationships, or your job? As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults to improve relationships, overcome crises, and provide new paths to achieving a healthier life balance.

Chronic illness sufferers! You know how hard life can feel. Sometimes just getting up in the morning can feel like a monumental task and other times you feel ok. The struggle is never knowing which way it’s going to go. I’ll bet your life would feel easier if you could learn how to cope with this uncertainty, while also finding ways to share your experience with your people. So many of us (yes, us!) attempt to hide our struggles for fear of being looked at as “the sick one” and that takes a toll. Working through your own judgements and anger will help to shift the way you walk through life...even on days you feel like crawling.

Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

High school and college should be times of joy, peace, purpose, and growth. Maybe you’re smart, take challenging classes, and get good grades, but you want to be more confident and happy. It can be a big relief to find someone you can have judgement-free conversations with. I specialize in therapy for students who are smart but struggling with anxiety, depression, or trauma. I have walked alongside so many students to guide them toward greater confidence, healing, and purpose in their lives. People tend to say they feel safe with me and that they feel more peaceful after we talk.

Are you struggling with anxiety and trauma and turning towards unhealthy coping mechanisms in an attempt to manage your emotions? Now is a trying time for almost everyone, and if you have a trauma background what's coming up in the current environment may be reminiscent of the stress, isolation, and fear induced by early childhood experiences. You don't have to handle this alone, and with clinically tested techniques to regulate the mind and body, it's possible to shift from a place of disempowerment to strength.

Do you struggle with depression, anxiety, and trauma? Do you experience difficulties managing family and relationship issues? I believe that healing happens when we pay attention to all the parts that make us whole—our mind, body, and soul. The subconscious mind controls most of our reality and choices, so building awareness and active presence can improve the quality of daily living and assist in not only surviving but thriving through life. As an intuitive & holistic therapist, I will assist you in strengthening your inner psyche and developing new tools to manage negative feelings and thoughts.

No one should have to feel alone or unsupported during life's difficulties. Many of my clients come to therapy because they are experiencing depression, anxiety, or loneliness. These difficulties are often related to their relationships, identity struggles, trauma, or major life transitions. I enjoy working with individuals who feel overwhelmed/stuck, and/or disconnected from themselves, peers, or significant others, in order to help them regain confidence and connection. Additionally, I often work with couples (engaged/dating/married) who are distressed and struggling to connect, communicate, and find peace in their relationships.

My passion is to help people reach their highest potential. To focus on strengths. I have been a therapist for over 22 years. I work on the faulty beliefs and messages one gives themselves that holds them hostage to their anxiety, depression, weight gain and poor relationships. I look forward to journeying with you to a place of happiness and good health.

So many pictures. So many profiles to navigate. This must feel like the online dating version of finding a therapist. Look, life is difficult. It's genuinely stressful.

When we are exposed to trauma at an early age, it can seriously impact how we feel about ourselves and our relationships with others.

I aim to understand clients’ internal responses and to provide more options for emotional regulation and problem-solving.

Do you struggle with overwhelming emotions? Maybe you are frozen by anxiety or overrun by worries you can't control. Or you feel so numb, empty and hopeless that you can't concentrate or work. These emotions cause you to snap at others or retreat so that your relationships are not what you want them to be.

You will also learn what to do when you are feeling intense emotions and be able to stop avoiding life.

I offer a safe and supportive environment to help you identify and resolve unhealthy patterns that keep you from moving forward.
