Fresno, CA - Accepting clients in CA

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the healing arts and in program design for emotionally disturbed adolescents. In all these positions, I became aware of the need to care for the emotional wounds and distress that people carry, affecting their sense of self and their relationships and leaving them wondering what is wrong with them. I returned to graduate school after raising 4 children as a single mom to become a therapist. I love being able to witness clients finding self-understanding and self-acceptance-- discovering, valuing, and feeling comfortable in their authentic self. I find that this usually involves connecting our personal experience and meaning making with both conscious and unconscious familial, social, and cultural influences that have shaped our beliefs about ourselves. My experience tells me that lasting change emerges from therapy that is collaborative, psychodynamic, and experiential, allowing you to experience yourself, your life, and your inner world differently.

I work collaboratively with my clients on deepening their awareness through the use of somatic techniques, mindfulness, and reflective activities. We will work on identifying supports and building on useful coping skills as we work through generational trauma and learn boundary-setting, communication skills, and managing emotions. My primary focus is on building a solid relationship with you, my client, to provide such a space where you can feel comfortable enough to show up raw and authentic. I believe that growth happens when we dig deep into the mind, body, and soul. The journey toward healing is not always comfortable, but I am here to hold space for you and meet you where you are.

When we experience severe trauma or life stressors, our lives can start to collapse into a day-to-day struggle. Our normal coping mechanisms and our support systems can start to fail or no longer be enough to help pull us through the difficult time. The truth is, we cannot change our life experiences, but we can search to find solutions to help us overcome depression, addiction, anxiety, relationship difficulties. We can grow and become aware of our own strengths as we face our struggles. Sometimes we need that extra help to aid us in regaining life balance in our journey of self-discovery.

Visalia, CA - Accepting clients in CA

I am a seasoned and dedicated therapist, holding a license as a Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), and I am based in California. With 13 years of experience in this field, my practice is driven by a profound commitment to assisting individuals in their journey toward self-discovery and personal growth. My therapeutic approach centers around meeting my clients right where they are in their lives, offering them a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I am deeply passionate about nurturing self-understanding, self-compassion, and self-love, guiding individuals to embrace these qualities as they navigate life's challenges. In my practice, I emphasize the importance of moving away from self-criticism and self-blame, recognizing these patterns as hindrances to personal well-being. Instead, I work collaboratively with my clients to foster self-acceptance and self-compassion, empowering them to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. My ultimate goal as a therapist is to help individuals discover their inner strengths, enhance their self-awareness, and develop the tools they need to lead more fulfilling and contented lives. It's a privilege and a passion of mine to assist others on their journey towards greater self-acceptance and emotional well-being.

Hemet, CA - Accepting clients in CA

Congratulations for taking the step to seek counseling. The world we live in is increasingly complex, and we can find ourselves feeling disconnected, stressed, and uncertain about what direction to take. How do we identify solutions for our life’s challenges? How do we let go of stress and sleep at night? As a therapist, I have counseled with individuals and families for over ten years and have found that problem-solving does not have to be stressful, and that we can work through our toughest issues. It is common to believe that people in our relationships, or circumstances in our lives cause us to feel the way we do. But it is our thinking, and the way we relate to people and circumstances, that create our feelings and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us observe what we are feeling and identify the thoughts that create our feelings. With increased self-awareness, we determine which of our thoughts and perceptions are distorted and unhelpful. As our thinking becomes more realistic, we feel better. There are several therapy methods that are effective in creating positive change, including Narrative Therapy, Goal Setting, Visioning for Personal Growth, and Mindfulness to promote focus and attention. Let’s engage in a conversation to explore your individual needs, and how best to meet them.

You're not your thoughts, feelings or traumatic experiences, you are what you choose to be! You deserve to be free from your trauma! I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), serving in all areas of California. I specialize in supporting adults who are struggling with traumatic experiences. My main focus includes Childhood Abuse Survivors, Sexual Assault Survivors and Culturally Specific Trauma. Trauma can subconsciously have an effect on an individual and prevent him or her from properly treating the issue mentally. However, not all who experience trauma are necessarily traumatized. I am here to assist you in processing trauma in ways that aren't too discomforting. You will learn ways to transform shame and guilt into self compassion by soothing your inner child. Let’s look at your old story with a different perspective and try to discover the cause of your internal struggles and recreate a new story, where you get to choose the ending. I look forward to joining you in your journey!
