Dear friend, I believe that with the right tools, you have the ability and resilience to prosper in life. Together, we can focus on you as a whole person; your strengths, aspirations and daily struggles, and as we work through these you can open doors to new possibilities and solutions. Most importantly, you and I can approach each meeting with mutual respect of culture, knowledge and experience. Based on your beliefs and what you value as an individual and as part of a family and a society, we can mold our interactions towards the therapeutic modalities that best suit you.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist trained in integrating spiritual and Christian beliefs in short term and long term therapies for children, adults, couples and families. I have over 25 years experience working in the public sector conducting thorough assessments and evaluations, as well as in private practice, seeing clients of diverse age range and cultural backgrounds.

As a therapist, my goal, is to come alongside individuals, couples, families and children as they navigate through the tough parts of life. Deciding to participate in therapy can be an intimidating process but the results can be life-changing. My goal when working with people is to create a warm environment that supports growth through conversation, empathy, and even humor at times. I value the therapeutic relationship and always work hard to meet the unique needs of each client. My hope as a therapist is to come alongside individuals as they work towards their goals.

I am an associate therapist providing services at Chino Hills Counseling in Chino, CA. I have extensive training serving the community at the Community Counseling Center in San Bernardino and the youth at a local school in the Chaffey Joint Union High School District.

Life gets messy sometimes, and when you are in the middle of the mess it can be hard to find a way through it on your own. My clients and I work collaboratively to identify what could be adding to their emotional distress. Together we take a good look at their thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and behaviors to see if we can find patterns, then create a plan of action to reduce their distress. Everyone is unique with his or her own set of circumstances that are considered as we walk this journey together. In a world where everyone is talking, sometimes it's just nice to have someone really listen.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families who struggle with a variety of issues that impact their quality of life. Often times, depression, anxiety, loss, fear, or other forms of mental illness can result in feeling alone and overwhelmed. Other times, there are challenges related to how people communicate with one another and when this happens a variety of difficulties present themselves. As a therapist, I enjoy coming along side of people to help them process and work through feelings and then working toward solutions or ways of coping.

My counseling style is open and collaborative. I am here to service children and adults struggling in the areas of anxiety, PTSD, depression, relationships, parenting, ADHD, and children with behavior problems. Sometimes life throws us unwanted curves that is out of our control and we feel alone; I want you to know you are not alone and help is here. You can restore your life to its normal functioning and achieve the goals that you set for yourself. If I am unable to assist you, I will make it my mission by referring you to someone that can.

By providing Compassionate Christian Care, I offer hope to those who may be experiencing difficulties in their lives or relationships. My goal is to provide you with the skills and tools you need to help restore a sense of balance and well-being in your life.

I recently retired from the County of Orange where I worked in various capacities. A significant amount of time was spent in providing family therapy and individual therapy to children, adolescents & adults with various issues. I have worked extensively with depression, anxiety, anger and behavioral issues. I work from a Cognitive-Behavioral approach where our belief system affects our behavior. In other words our thinking dictates how we behave which can lead to certain problems

Life is filled with struggles that are hard to overcome, but there is hope. It can be difficult to face our problems. I understand that constantly trying to overcome these difficulties can be tiresome and frustrating. People often come to therapy after all that trying seems to not work anymore and I would love to be there to help. Let us collaborate and find those strengths (I know you have) to be able to give you that hope and begin to enjoy life to its fullest. I know this must be a hard time, but I hope you are ready and able to take that next step to come in.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life, whether they are simply looking to improve a part of themselves or have hit a major "bump" in the road. I actively assist clients who are struggling with relationship-based problems, and I have received advanced training in EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) for couples, ETT (Emotional Transformation Therapy), and NET (Neuro Emotional Technique). In addition to my licensure as a Marriage & Family Therapist, I am a Certified Sexual Assault Counselor, Certified Trauma Response Specialist, Board Certified Expert in Traumatic Stress (BCETS), and Board Certified in Bereavement Trauma (BCBT).

What is addiction? Am I an alcoholic? These are common questions asked by those who struggle with substance abuse. By providing drug and alcohol counseling services, I aim to help cultivate an opportunity that will help educate about use, abuse, addiction, recovery, and sobriety. Working alongside my clients, I help support you in developing the skills and tools necessary to change current behavior and get on the road to recovery. Each individual's journey is different and there is no single blueprint for everyone. My goal is to help you to develop your blueprint and support you in following through with it.

ON-LINE COUNSELING --Members of the Community, These are trying times for all of us but you don't have to do it alone. We at Serene Pathways Counseling want to be there to support you by offering telehealth sessions in lieu of face-to-face appointments. Telehealth is a confidential way for us to hold therapy sessions with you regarding emotional struggles as we navigate this new experience. Through telehealth, our Therapists at Serene Pathways can assist you with the trials and emotions that come up as we are staying home.

Welcome to my profile! It takes a tremendous amount of courage to seek out a therapist, so I want to first and foremost acknowledge you and your efforts to better your life. Whether you’re feeling stuck, hurt, or just needing a fresh perspective, my hope is that we can partner together and work to create the life God has for you and that you envision for yourself. It would be my honor to be your therapist.

Resilience is within each individual. We encounter different waves and hurdles in life that might keep us from having the lifestyle we strive for. Every once in a while we just need someone to work together with to identify the source of those obstacles and explore what possibilities there are outside of the box to get through life. To find that resilience within us and regain the balance of life. Myself and our other clinicians will be right here by your side, guiding you towards finding that resilience we know is within you.

With all that is going on around us, I have seen how we may need support now more than ever. Are you a bit more overwhelmed of late? Are you or your partner struggling with best communicating wants and needs? Are you reacting at times about things that did not previously bother you?

The effectiveness of psychotherapy depends on the ability of the client and the therapist to establish a therapeutic connection. More to the point, good therapy is dependent upon good communication which requires the therapist to be open and responsive to your worries and concerns as well as to hear you even when your own awareness may be muffled by pain, anger, anxiety and disappointment. My job is to find the hope your bring to treatment and to assist you to find creative ways to approach your life's challenges with a renewed and joyful sense of resolve.
