Therapists in Redlands, CA

My ideal client is a survivor of human trafficking dealing with overwhelming shame, guilt, and feelings of worthlessness due to the stigma attached to their experience. They need a safe and validating space to heal and understand that being trafficked was not their fault. Their goals are to reclaim their sense of self, overcome emotional and mental challenges, and rebuild their fragmented identity. They want to feel valued, whole, and complete, free from the burdens of their past, so they can lead fulfilling lives. Their motivation is to regain their dignity and self-worth after the trauma they've survived.

I enjoys working with children, teens, and adults. My passion is working with the teenage population, and challenging young minds to overcome difficulties that they face. I have the belief that not one type of approach or intervention works for everyone, which is why I like to incorporate my clients interests and needs in therapy. I enjoy challenging the mind of my clients, and aiding them in understanding emotions, behaviors and thought processing.

If you are adjusting to a life change, challenged by conflicts within relationships, making a big life decision, hurting emotionally, or dealing with your own or another family's member's mental health diagnosis, I am a professional and empathetic resource for you.

Taking new clients! Are you feeling tired and worn out? I want to help! Sometimes the struggles of life can feel overwhelming. My goal as your therapist is to give you a safe space to process your experiences and the guidance to move forward in a healthier way. You are not alone. Let me walk this journey called life alongside you.

You’ve overcome a lot, and yet are having a tough time containing the feelings, thoughts, and physical sensations this time. It’s spilling out into your personal and professional relationships and moving you further away from the life you imagined for yourself. You've reached your maximum bandwidth and before you know it, old patterns creep back in. The confidence that you'll be okay slips away with each day. You're realizing you need support to not only heal and accept what is, but also to transform and be able to grow through this!
