Drama Therapists in Anaheim, CA

I believe in your resilience. I am a psychotherapist with specialized training in Drama Therapy. I will collaboratively work with you to help you create the changes you want in your life.

✨ By virtue of holding space for you to make meaning out of your experiences, intersections of identity, and personal and ancestral past, I specialize in providing Culturally Conscious, Liberation-Oriented, Neuro-affirming, Trauma-Informed, Nervous System-Centered, and social justice-aligned offerings of healing that align with your desire to unify mind, body, and spirit, healing both present and intergenerational wounds, and connecting with self, others, and surroundings.

Stay rooted deeply in the present moment, allowing your intuition, knowing, and being-ness to shine! These 1.5 hr. Expressive Arts Therapy sessions offer an eclectic approach to therapy. I have created a dynamic toolbox that can meet anyone where they are regardless of what topic you would like to explore. Combining mindfulness, talk therapy, somatic awareness, and creative approaches every session is unique depending on what is most nourishing for you on that specific day.

I bring deep empathy and a healthy sense of humor into the work that I do. Together, we will be able to hold the darkness and begin to let in the light. Folks I work with regularly tell me that they love being able to laugh with me, and that it helps them to be able to tell me anything without feeling judged or shamed. You deserve to be seen for who you really are.

Many people come to therapy feeling misunderstood or “othered,” even in spaces meant to support them. You may have tried therapy before and found yourself explaining your identity, culture, ambition, or creative life just to be understood. If you’ve struggled to trust that someone could truly “get it,” you’re not alone. I provide trauma-informed online therapy for founders, creatives, and high-performing professionals navigating burnout, anxiety, and chronic pressure.

Anaheim is home to Disneyland and the tourism infrastructure surrounding it, creating an unusual occupational landscape — a large hospitality workforce experiencing the psychological pressures of service work, seasonal employment, and the gap between the 'happiest place on earth' and the economic realities many workers face. The city has a large Latino population concentrated in the flatlands west of the resort district, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists play an important access role for families where cultural and language barriers limit engagement with mainstream mental health services. CHOC Children's and Kaiser Permanente serve institutional mental health needs in the area, alongside a private practice community serving the newer residential areas. Anaheim's significant Vietnamese and Korean communities in its northeastern neighborhoods also drive demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists.
