Let’s put one foot in front of the other and walk together towards a brighter future

Do you feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? If you’ve ever felt anxious, depressed, or stuck, you have come to the right place. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who loves to help people of all ages reach their full potential.

My therapeutic style is warm and compassionate. I use a person-centered approach because I know that you are the expert of your life – I am merely your guide and support along the way. Our process will start with uncovering the core issues that are affecting you today. From there, we will work together on developing both short-term and long-term solutions as well as resilience. If you choose to work with me, you’ll feel supported every step of the way and gain the ability to go out and face the world with confidence and ease.

I have experience working with clients of all ages. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and relationship stressors. I commonly treat self-esteem issues, trauma, life transitions, stress, communication issues, parenting concerns and sleep issues. With children and teen clients, I often help with peer issues, behavioral issues, self-injurious behaviors, and academic challenges. My treatment approach varies based on the individual I work with. When working with children or adolescents, I commonly use creative modalities such as play therapy, art therapy, and sensory activities. On the other hand, when working with adult clients I might blend talk therapy with mindfulness practices.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, lost, or just plain stuck? We’ve all been there. The good news? You don’t have to navigate life’s toughest challenges alone. My passion is empowering individuals to navigate life’s challenges and discover their inherent strengths.

Do you believe that effective therapy supports setting healthy boundaries, practicing skills in emotional regulation and exercising self management? Are you looking for a collaborative approach with helpful resources and productive coping skills that can help? I believe counseling makes matters feel less difficult when working through it together with someone who cares.

I have experience in person-centered therapy and value a holistic approach to treatment planning, supporting my clients physically, mentally, and spiritually. I specialize in therapeutic modalities addressing issues related to self-esteem and self-worth, anxiety/depression, and interpersonal effectiveness. My different approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy, and Expressive Art.

It is my desire to build a safe, trusting, therapeutic relationship with clients and to provide an environment for healing and personal growth. I graduated with a Masters of Art in Educational and Clinical Counseling from Azusa Pacific University. I am an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor and hold a PPS credential as a School Counselor. I have worked in the Temecula Unified School District for 6 years with students from elementary, middle, and high school settings. This has also afforded me the opportunity to aid in the educational experience of students with physical, behavioral and emotional learning disabilities. In addition, I have worked with a variety of cultural backgrounds with couples in the state of Hawaii.

Many believe healing is a solitary journey, or that faith alone is enough. But the most profound growth often blossoms when the careful guidance of a counselor meets the powerful hand of God.

In recognizing that life’s unpredictability can lead one to feel overwhelmed and sometimes even hopeless, a collaborative therapeutic relationship can facilitate in one’s wellness journey.

Throughout my career and educational opportunities, I have had the privilege of supporting a diverse range of individuals in different life stages with varying needs. As an Associate Therapist, I tailor the therapy process to meet the needs of my clients. I prioritize providing psychoeducation by way of an empathetic and non-judgmental, multi-cultural lens. I utilize various therapeutic techniques to support those who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, academic and learning challenges, stress management, adjustment issues, relationship challenges, parenting stressors, and new mom related issues. A few of the therapeutic modalities that I utilize throughout my counseling sessions include: CBT, DBT, Family Systems Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths Based and Solutions Focused Therapies.

Moreover, my Christian faith and passion to counsel others who maintain a biblical worldview, is one of the options I welcome into the therapeutic relationship. When operating from a biblical foundation, alongside my clinical counseling training, I am able to provide my clientele support in navigating their own spiritual and mental health journeys. That being said, I ultimately seek to meet my clients where they are, regardless of their faith journey.

My desire is that my clients feel seen, safe and supported, and that they are ultimately able to thrive while feeling hopeful and ultimately empowered to achieve their goals!

We are working together, taking one step at a time to find peace, joy, and fulfillment in this adventure we call life.

My approach is client-centered, solution-focused therapy. You are the best expert in your life, and your experience is uniquely yours. My role is to help your child/teen identify factors in their life that bring feelings of stress, anxiety, and worry and support them as we find a healing path. When working with me, I will meet your child/teen where they are, and together, we will find coping skills that meet their strengths. Meeting your child/teen’s needs within the therapeutic setting will begin with allowing them to feel comfortable with me by incorporating age-appropriate therapies, such as art therapy, play therapy, and games. Within your child/teen healing path, you and I will collaboratively set attainable goals for your child/teen. When working with your child or teen in the therapeutic setting, my goal is for them to feel comfortable coming to therapy; I will do this by displaying that they are in a non-judgmental environment with a therapist who is empathetic to their unique needs and understanding.

In addition to my experience with children and teens in emergency response and crisis intervention, I have also worked with military spouses in a therapeutic setting as they transition from being spouses to caregivers for injured service members.

As a Christian Therapist, I welcome the incorporation of faith and spirituality in our therapy sessions; however, your preference in what is included in therapy is my priority. My focus is to provide you with professional and exceptional treatment to help you reach your therapeutic goals.

Sometimes life brings unexpected challenges and emotional struggles that can feel overwhelming. My goal is to help you navigate these difficulties and begin a new, empowered chapter in your life. While therapy is not always easy, choosing to begin the journey of self-growth is a powerful and necessary step toward a more fulfilling life.

I specialize in working with teens and adults facing a variety of concerns, including anxiety and panic disorders, depression and emotional regulation difficulties, ADHD, self-esteem and body image concerns, eating disorders, family and relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma. Every person’s path is unique, and I tailor the therapeutic process to meet your individual needs and goals. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you and create a path forward that feels both intentional and achievable.

My approach is holistic, grounded in the mind-body connection and how it supports healing and growth. I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge and reframe negative core beliefs, as well as Mindfulness techniques to help you become more aware of how these beliefs impact both your physical and emotional well-being. Depending on your preferences, I may also integrate creative expression—such as art, music, movement, or writing—to help you process and heal in meaningful ways.

My professional background includes working at a residential treatment center for individuals with eating disorders. I also have experience working with adult children from military families exploring the lasting impact of growing up within military culture. At the heart of my practice is a commitment to building a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic relationship—one where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. Together, we’ll work toward building healthier relationships, emotional balance, and a deeper sense of fulfillment in your life.
