Teletherapy for 91202

Therapy is truly a unique process for each person. As a therapist, I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. My approaches are varied and individualized for each client, at the core I believe in taking a relational and client centered approach as my foundation for all my clients. I view myself as a guide in your processing of thoughts and feelings and take great pride in holding space for my clients when they are not feeling their best and really need that unbiased viewpoint. Therapy can get tough at times, it can feel worse before it gets better. Trust the process, I've seen the power of healing!

Over 15 years of experience in mental health as a Marriage and Family Therapist has provided me the exposure and opportunity to grow in skill and knowledge regarding a variety of cultural and diagnostic differences. I take great pride in providing culturally sensitive care that is backed up by culturally focused education in my Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Concentration in Cultural Studies and a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling.

The relationship between client and therapist is important to me, as that is the starting point of any change you may seek. It is my hope that you to feel valued and respected in a non-judgmental environment. I will help you establish the goals you want to achieve, and then guide the process to make that happen.

I believe that by seeking therapy, you are taking the first, courageous step towards leading the kind of life you have always pictured for yourself. For some reason, you may feel that you have been derailed in your journey thus preventing you from getting to where you want to be. Perhaps it is a painful experience, maladaptive patterns of behavior, or faulty relational dynamics that are holding you back. You may not even be fully aware of where the root of the derailment lies.

Are you so anxious you feel sick and can’t sleep? Has worry taken over your life? You might feel like nothing you’ve tried is working. I can help. Anxiety can be confusing, exhausting, and overwhelming. But you don’t have to keep living like this. I can teach you what’s happening in your body. I can help you learn effective coping tools to stop your thoughts from spiraling. You can get back to the doing the things you care about. I can help you understand your anxiety and apply practical strategies to take your life back. I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety and OCD and the BIPOC community.

Relationships are one of the most impactful areas of our lives. If you are experiencing a lot of stress in your relationships, I can imagine the toll it is taking on your overall wellbeing. The quality of our childhood bonds can determine the patterns of our relationships in adulthood. Human connections can improve. With the help of a judgment-free professional and implementation of new skills, relationships can become healing and transformative. I believe that growth is achieved by the pairing of insight and the implementation of tools and techniques that will be learned in psychotherapy.

Sometimes there are unforeseen circumstances that lead to difficult roads ahead, and we can feel stuck. What am I doing here? Where am I going? When will this be different? These are just some of the questions that come up when we feel overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Sometimes it gets foggy, and we cannot seem to find our way out of the cave. This is where therapy can come in and be transformative. Change is only created when there is acknowledgement of emotions, better understanding, and the process to unlock your full potential.

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step towards self-awareness and healing. I am a true believer that therapy is beneficial to everyone, whether you need a safe person to process your day to day with or need help managing undesirable behaviors. Together, we will work as a team to explore what works for you and what doesn’t. We will come up with a measurable plan to help you reach your goals.
