I currently work at the Next Move Mental Health Agency in Lawndale, Ca. The agency focuses on clients who have been victims of crimes ranging from Domestic Violence to Sexual Assault.

Many people hit a point in their lives where they doubt in their capacity to heal or even deal with life’s circumstances. Maybe you're someone who has anxiously tried to make it work on your own until you’ve found yourself stuck in patterns and convoluted stories that no longer work for you. The process of sifting through what's true or false can feel isolating and lonely when navigating that on your own. But I want to offer the idea that maybe you were never meant to be alone in that process.

We are all human and sometimes we all need support. Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, stressed, hopeless are some of the feelings we may experience when we are facing life transitions. Friends and family members often with good intentions usually will try to give us advice or support. If we don’t have trusting relationships, we may not know where to turn. It is okay to seek support in professionals and it is okay to feel like you don’t have all the answers as long as you are willing to explore the questions.

You want to feel better. You feel worried, insecure, and anxious about how to deal with the challenges you are experiencing. You feel unsure about how to manage the fears and stress.

Picture yourself feeling more confident dealing with barriers and challenges that come your way. It can happen. My goal is to work with you and support you during this process. We will find ways for you to feel less worried, scared, and stressed.

Our relationships are the greatest treasures we have in life. When we feel disconnected in our relationship with ourselves and others, we are more prone to experiencing isolation, dysfunction and pain.

My goal is to walk with you through the healing process and support you in restoring life in your relationship with yourself and others. With a holistic approach to therapy, addressing the needs of the body, mind and soul are vital for restoring connection as we walk together through the healing process.
