Women's Issues Therapists in Fullerton, CA

I work with adults and young adults who identify as QTPOC, Non-Monogamous, Kinky, and/or those that are a part of the adult entertainment industry. Within these identity categories, I have specific experience helping folks process around marginalized experiences, microaggressions and trauma, navigation of medical transition services, and communication about their relationships and identities. I also have experiences supporting straight and cis identified clients struggling with shame, alternative relationships, and supporting QTPOC loved ones.

I am a strong believer in the saying “change is inevitable; growth is optional”. We can count on shifting seasons. You can build resilience and learn to thrive in the peaks and valleys. You can break free of unhealthy coping patterns. You can create new thoughts and behaviors that work for you and your relationships. We all desire a safe space to feel known. It brings me joy to walk alongside adults, children, families, and couples through life’s greatest challenges. To help them feel heard, to locate their inner strength to achieve their goals.

Do you ever struggle with feeling like you’re not enough? Do you feel like you have to prove yourself? Do you feel stuck and triggered by childhood trauma? The symptoms of trauma include anxiety, depression, high conflict relationships, occupational impairment, addiction, and much more.

I specialized in working with people who are willing to explore past, present, and future challenges and to find tools for personal growth.

My passion lies in supporting those of all ages and identity backgrounds who are interested in self exploration and discovery. I practice from a trauma informed, sex-positive, queer affirming, feminist, spiritual and social justice-oriented standpoint. Understanding how the “personal is political” and how psychological challenges are rooted in systemic oppression is central to my work. My experience in sexual/reproductive healthcare and working as a birth and postpartum doula catalyzed my interest in supporting those undergoing vulnerability regarding their sexuality, pain, pleasure, health, gender identity and life transitions.

I strive to foster a safe space where clients can tell their story, gain insight into how that has impacted them, acknowledge the various unique contexts which impact their lives, connect with their strengths, and learn new ways towards wholeness and personal growth.

I enjoy working with teens (15 and up), adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have extensive experience with mental illness, addiction, parenting, marital difficulties, and LGBTQ issues. Most of the time, people have tried a variety of solutions before coming to me for help. Together, we can explore your concerns, your goals, your strengths, and the obstacles that are keeping you stuck or holding you back. In most cases, long-term therapy is not necessary. My goal is to help you heal and grow to the point that you no longer need therapy as quickly as possible.

Depression, anxiety, fear or feelings of helplessness can overwhelm you at different times in your life. When these feelings interfere with your daily life, you need to talk to a therapist.
