It Gets Better
Therapy & Counseling in California
Finding the right therapist to encourage your journey, support your growth, and hold hope for you, can be instrumental in reaching and maintaining overall well-being. I invite you to take a step: call for a consultation to see how I can support your journey to wellness.
Trauma & PTSD
Healing from trauma can end disturbing thoughts and feelings related to past events. Treatment can help free yourself from the grip of trauma.
Phobias
Healing from a phobia can end or reduce overwhelming fears of an object, place, feeling, situation, or animal. Treatment can help you enjoy everyday situations.
Anxiety & Depression
Healing from anxiety and depression can end or reduce feeling trapped, physically impaired, overwhelmed, concentration difficulty, and relationship problems. Treatment can help give your life back and learn strategies to manage the future.
Stress & Grief
Healing from intense stress or a loss can help you navigate emotional experiences, change itself, external pressures, and gain a sense of control. Treatment can help you manage life events and how you interpret and respond to change.
Love & relationship
Strengthen your emotional bond. Solid relationships are built on trust, emotional intimacy, love and respect.
Happy family
As relationships evolve, successful couples need to get into alignment and work as a team.
Plan your family
Confidence to understand who you are and as a result be able to move toward the life and marriage you desire.
Powerful mindset
When you have tools to create a new powerful mindset for yourself and your marriage you’ll see changes immediately.
Are you considering
EMDR therapy?
At first glance, EMDR appears to approach psychotherapy in an unusual way. It does not rely on talk therapy or medications. Instead, EMDR uses a patient's own rapid, rhythmic eye movements. These eye movements dampen the power of emotionally charged memories of past traumatic events.
