I have been a practicing therapist for over 10 years and continue to grow and love the work that I do, I believe the therapeutic relationship and what happens in the therapy session to be honored and sacred. I graduated with my Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University and have spent my clinical experience working in a community based agency working with foster youth and adoptive families, school based settings and a church based setting. I am currently working in a private practice setting and look forward to providing services and helping families in the community of Corona and surrounding cities. Contact me today and let’s see if we are a good fit to work together.

My Approach

Therapy is a process and much more than “tell me how you feel,” but what are those feelings and triggers and how do they influence your choices? What are your thoughts about yourself, your situation, your relationships and your past. I want to help you explore and identify your strengths and what works for you and help you change what is unhelpful and not working. I will not promise you an overnight “fix” or a “magic pill,” to be quite honest; therapy is hard work and if you are willing, I am willing to walk beside you. Just as “getting into shape” takes examining your diet and exercise routine, sometimes working with a trainer, checking in with your doctor, time, commitment, consistency, sore muscles, fatigue, resisting temptations, and occasional setbacks; in the end you will have accomplished goals at achieving a healthier and fit YOU and new habits to sustain a healthier YOU. Therapy works very similar, it takes commitment, opening yourself up to be vulnerable, being honest with yourself, using the tools being taught to you, open communication, not giving up and taking charge of a healthier YOU!

My job is not to tell you what to do, think, feel or give advice. I will use my knowledge and experience to help you look at patterns, offer different perspectives and will challenge you at times…I will be a safe harbor for your emotions, pain, doubts and life history; while we work together in accomplishing your goals. I do commit to providing you with the best care possible, and will work at empowering you for making decisions in your life because you are the EXPERT in YOUR LIFE.
