Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in 93433

There are many paths up the mountain. I believe that each individual is as unique as the pathway they select in life. On every path there are difficult challenges that bring questions. Why do I feel this way? What am I missing? Is what I'm feeling a mental illness? Is my brain functioning properly? Do I need professional help?

Are you experiencing anxiety you can’t just shake? Are you experiencing depression due to life situations? Are you experiencing trauma from your past? Are you experiencing addiction use, abuse, or relapse? All of these struggles along with life’s challenges can be overwhelming. Your life doesn’t have to be this challenging anymore. Choose to engage in therapy, develop trust, and share your concerns with someone who cares.

I work primarily with children, teens, and adults who have suffered traumatic events. I provide an outlet without judgement, helping clients work through unresolved feelings about past childhood trauma, family conflict, and broken relationships, which can cause significant distress, affecting other parts of their lives. I will help you break away from anything that is holding you back from being the person you truly desire to be. My style is eclectic, supporting individual needs, unlocking and developing each person's potential. With children and teens, I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist clients in overcoming negative effects of the traumatic experience.

Accepting NEW Clients: In-person and telehealth services available.

Licensed since 1999, my goal is to provide you with a compassionate, supportive, and holistic approach to improving depression, anxiety, trauma, grief issues, stress and pain management. As we work together, my focus is to help you to overcome the challenges of daily life, and support you as you move up to your next level of confidence and well-being.

We are meant to work together if you are in one of the following categories: 1.) The Frustrated Adult fed up with continuing to hold yourself back from improving your life. Your mind gets in your way of believing you can create a more fulfilling and satisfying existence, and your behavior stays the same. Or, 2.) The Couple who loves each other & wants to finally ACT like they love each other, and stop the awful cycle they’ve been stuck in for years. An endless feedback loop of the same infuriating fights and seemingly hopeless & tiring perpetual problems keep invading your love and joy.

Each person is unique and has experienced their own set of challenges, trauma and adversities yet we are all bound by human commonalities. We get hurt, we feel anxious or depressed, we feel anger and we can feel hopeless. If you want to find joy, meaning or take control over your life, I am here to help guide you and provide you support. I am here to acknowledge the pain while finding things that bring happiness. We all need a safe place to get support when we are struggling to find our voice, figuring out how communicate ours needs or dealing with the emotional pain caused by everyday stressors, trauma or relationship issues.
