I started my quest for a career at my local community college. I took a 'what do you want to be when you grow up' kind of class. One thing that has always stuck in my mind is something the professor told us. She said that a job is something you do to pay your bills; a career is something you would do if you didn't have to work.
She suggested that we volunteer our time somewhere, and if we liked it enough to do it for free, we'd most likely stick with it and enjoy it. So that was my beginning in the counseling field. I volunteered at a Domestic Violence shelter and worked with adults and children who had survived physical, emotional, and sexual abuse.

Online Therapy is a service I recently added, and is a result of innovations in technology matched with current needs of my clients. Now you can have the same benefits of live sessions from the comfort of your own home. Note: Live office visits are still available if you live in or around Long Beach.
At Long Beach Therapy, we utilize a variety of tools and techniques to help our clients reach their goals. In addition to regular talk therapy we also offer researched based methods of helping clients through their issues. One of those research based methods is called EMDR. Although EMDR Therapy was first used to treat complex PTSD and "simple" traumas, EMDR isn't just for PTSD.
Brainspotting is a therapy technique that can help resolve many different issues. Some of the issues brainspotting can help with include trauma, complex PTSD, performance anxiety, general anxiety, grief over a divorce or grief over the loss of a loved one. Brainspotting helps identify and heal where the issue is stored within your neurobiology to help you get "unstuck" from the issue and move forward in your life.
