Therapists in Bradbury, CA

I am a California licensed therapist and have worked in mental health for 15+ years both in person and online. My experience spans age ranges from children to those past retirement. I have worked with a wide range of issues including those whose familial abuse and trauma needs longer term support to weekly goal setters who need coaching and accountability to move through avoidance and resistance. Because I am genuinely curious about people, my client's experience me as accepting and non judgmental with a sense of humor. My approach combines a humanistic style in a psychodynamic atmosphere with a knowledge of human behavior that informs my support of your unique situation. Your life may not be the way you envisioned it and it seems unclear how you can re-vision your future and narrate your past. Since I was very young I have been fascinated with story. It began with watching and reading stories, creating stories and now I listen to personal stories. Our stories are important to us and they form us in to the people we are. Finding new meaning underneath your understanding of yourself is integral to changing your current internal reality. Self efficacy is an important part of self esteem. Whatever your current issue, you may feel as if you could be more effective in your life and work. You may want to learn how you are seen by others, and how to integrate how you see yourself with other's impressions of you. With your collaboration and best interest in mind, I will challenge you to see things from a different view. I am hopeful this will shift your focus toward your goals. After working in the entertainment industry with creative people and process, I have an awareness of how personalities are structured and the way those personalities work within a whole person and within an organizational structure. Whether we are discussing you as an individual, the culture at large, an organization, or a family, communication is an important part of getting what you need from others. It is a courageous step forward to enlist the help of a therapist and I truly respect how uncomfortable you must feel in your current situation to reach out for help. It is my goal to create a supportive, safe environment for you to explore, discover and move through the material that will guide and help you move on from your current state. I look forward to working with you!

Are you having difficulties in your personal relationships or other areas of your life? Do you suspect that alcohol or substance use in your life is becoming an addictive behavior? Is sadness, worry, racing thoughts or other matters becoming intrusive in your life? If you are experiencing these or any other concerns, I would like to help you. I can do this using insight oriented psycho-therapy to encourage behaviors designed to replace unproductive actions and beliefs with a useful paradigm for living with peace of mind. I am a results oriented Marriage and Family Therapist. The Doctoral research I have completed situates me to assist you through the use of solution focused interventions designed to change perspectives using an action orientation. Improving one's relationships has been shown to improve one's quality of life and life satisfaction. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and hold a Psy. D. in clinical psychology. As far as addiction is concerned, my Doctoral research and studies combined with an extensive Addiction counseling experience, have positioned me to blend psychological principles with classical addiction recovery philosophies.
