As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a warm and comfortable environment for every individual I am blessed to work with during therapy. Whether it is an adolescent or teenager needing a space to figure out life, a parent who has an adolescent struggling with the journey of being a teenager, or an individual seeking help after a divorce, breakup, or personal crisis.
My approach
I use a variety of styles and techniques to meet the needs of each individual I meet. My approach draws upon modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Christian Counseling. I tailor my approach to your unique needs, utilizing interpersonal, person-centered, and strength-based elements.
My focus
I am currently working with individuals and counseling adults with problems ranging from relationship issues to parenting or coping skills to build a stronger sense of self-awareness and self-management.
My communication style
In our sessions, I aim to create a collaborative environment where we work together to set achievable goals. I desire every client to leave a session with hope and a stronger sense of self so that they become empowered, build resilience, and thrive. I will partner with you to find the light at the end of the tunnel.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to mental healthcare began with earning my Master of Science degree in Counseling from California Baptist University. I completed my clinical training hours as an intern at the California Baptist University Counseling Center from 2004-2008 and at the Riverside Unified School District from 2006-2008. This diverse experience working with individuals in both university and school settings sparked my passion for helping people navigate life's challenges.
My goals for you
My goal is for you to gain greater self-awareness, build effective coping skills, enhance your relationships, and ultimately feel empowered to lead a more fulfilling life. Through our work together, I aim to help you develop the inner strength and resources to overcome obstacles and thrive.
My first session with you
In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to identify your goals. I will seek to gain an understanding of your unique experiences, challenges, and hopes. From there, we will collaboratively develop a plan tailored to your needs and start the process of working towards positive change and growth. You can expect a supportive, non-judgmental space to share your story.
