Therapist Overview
At times we can feel so overwhelmed by emotions that our natural instinct is to simply shut down. We feel no one understands us and that if we tell someones they will either dismiss it, tell us ” just get over it,” “why don’t you just look at the bright side.” Other times, we don’t want to share what we are feeling because we do not want to burden those close to us. This only further validates either that what we are feeling is not important and that nobody cares. When we don’t acknowledge or process the pain we feel, our overwhelmed self may lash out or act in a behavior that is either destructive towards the self or others. I work with individuals who are feeling at a loss and keep hitting dead ends because of challenges they are facing. Perhaps, you feel depressed about a challenge or are going through an ending of a relationship that left you feeling lost and confused, I can help. I am able to provide telehealth services to individuals in California. I can understand the reluctance you may feel when considering seeking therapy. It is difficult to confront your challenges and acknowledge your pain. However, therapy is the first step to healing your emotional wounds and I am committed to embarking that journey with you at your own pace.
