Therapists in San Dimas, CA

My approach to counseling takes into account that each client is unique and views their problems and solutions from their unique perspective. Also, each client possesses unique talents and gifts that should be recognized and highlighted to strengthen their coping skills. I incorporate PCT, CBT, DBT, and Solution Focused Therapy in my practice. I find these therapies beneficial with brief therapy and to help move clients through the forest of life’s issues. I appreciate clients that identify their need for help and are willing to make life changes, and I represent the values of restoring hope, inspiring growth, and empowerment.

Are you feeling disconnected from your friends/ family or yourself? Do you need help trying to understand your thoughts and feelings? Coming to therapy can be difficult and scary, but taking the first step is the most important.

Do you ever catch yourself wondering when you signed up for the life you have? Is life heading in directions you couldn't have imagined?

Let me help you put balance back into your life, where you can experience life as the joyful event it was meant to be, and your relationships become enriching and rewarding as they should be.
