Female Therapists in Chowchilla, CA

Welcome! I am a licensed therapist providing to adults and couples. I work with individuals that are struggling with depression, low motivation, worry, past trauma, stress and more. I am very understanding, non-judgement, down to earth, easy going, support and kind.

As a human and as a therapist, I understand that making sense of life and its impact can sometimes be overwhelming and traumatic in ways that can leave us feeling helpless, anxious, depressed, or simply stuck. It takes courage to seek help to find relief. That relief is possible in the safety of the space I provide where you know you and your story matter. I will hold your vulnerability and pain with compassion and authenticity while the process of finding new or renewed hope, healing, strength, wholeness, and vitality for life begin to unfold as the difficulty you are facing is shared and your journey supported.

We all go through difficult times and it takes courage to reach out for support. You may be wondering how therapy can help you. Perhaps you want support with a challenging issue, to relieve anxiety, recover from trauma or to change patterns that no longer work for you. You may want to improve a relationship or get support with parenting or working through loss. You can make changes, break patterns, and heal. Therapy is a place to get support, to explore new strategies for coping better with life, and to view things from an expanded perspective. Our challenges present us with opportunities to heal as well as grow.

Hey there! I'm here for those navigating neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism), battling anxiety, OCD, depression, or healing from tough relationship patterns. I might be a good fit for you if you are looking for deeper self-exploration, realistic tools to navigate difficulties, and strategies for daily life. I feel my role is to help you gain better balance and self-acceptance as well as piece together things you struggle to understand on your own. I work to identify the root of clients concerns and guide them towards real solutions. I think you deserve a life free from societal pressures and space to embrace uniqueness as strengths.

You are already whole, and I believe the process of psychotherapy is to shed the self limiting beliefs we hold of ourselves that keep us fractured and compartmentalized. The process of integrating our disavowed parts creates the space for our wholeness to emerge. We make meaning through our experiences, but shame and trauma can distort our way of relating to ourselves and the world. Through the therapeutic container of safety one can begin to deconstruct the strategies adopted along the way to keep one feeling “safe” and “in control”, while also in many ways, keeping one from meeting the world with an open and curious heart.

Emotional pain can create an opening for change. Your decision to seek professional help is a step in this direction. I have over 38 years of experience helping individuals understand the causes of their emotional difficulties and helping them to make changes that fit their unique needs. I provide a safe environment where together we can explore the barriers preventing you from living the life you want.
