Therapists in Claremont, CA

All too often change occurs, it's inevitable, but not always expected nor welcome.. From small, situational dilemmas to larger, more complex personal or family concerns, therapy can be the change that brings about relief, insight and new solutions for dealing with these circumstances. Together, with my support and guidance, I hope we can begin to identify and develop the tools and resources needed to help you move toward the healing and growth you are seeking.

I earned my Master’s degree from Alliant International University and am currently a doctoral candidate in the Psychology program for Couples and Family Therapy. I am trained in Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT). My experience includes working in community mental health, academic settings, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient care.

My approach to working with families and children is grounded in developing self-awareness. I use a relationally and culturally appropriate based approach to develop strong connections and provide insight to heal relationships. For me, a compassionate and non-judgmental approach is key in working with clients in order to identify maladaptive coping patterns to help repair and strengthen relationships. My goal is to increase a person's emotional presence so that they can be fully available to their families and with themselves.

Are you asking yourself, 'Should I stay or should I go?' You never thought you'd be where you are today, wondering if your relationship will survive. You once loved your partner, but now you're not so sure. Every now and then, the two of you feel connected but, then, something happens ... and a wave of disappointment knocks to you the ground. You may even suspect infidelity. What if your marriage never improves? Are you afraid of never having a satisfying relationship? Confusion and disbelief are normal when problems in a relationship become too big to handle.

Parenting is HARD! My mission is to help you and your child live happier, healthier and more fulfilled lives. I specialize in adoption and foster placements where attachments were not formed in an organic manner as they are with birth children. Whether it is an infant or teenager, the need for secure attachments is key. I offer services that help foster these attachments.

I am a psychologist specializing in behavioral interventions for anxiety, trauma, and depression. I obtained my PhD from UCLA in 2012 after working in the Anxiety Disorders Research Center. I then completed my clinical internship and a postdoctoral research fellowship at the National Center for PTSD in the VA Boston Healthcare system while a fellow at Harvard Medical School and the Boston University School of Medicine. In addition to my practice, I am currently an Associate Professor in the Psychology Department at the University of La Verne.

As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable environment for my clients. Overall, I use an very authentic, egalitarian, honest, direct, dialogic and relational approach. I focus on the ability of clients to make changes and find freedom in their lives by utilizing their unique potential, accepting personal responsibility, and exploring the meaning in life that they desire. My style stems from my belief that the client's own internal knowledge, strength, and commitment to change is what ultimately holds the power. Relational Gestalt therapy highly informs my clinical work and therapeutic style.

Life is already quite difficult without that added everyday stressors that we encounter along the way. It can make us feel alone, defeated, hopeless, scared, and worried about our futures and our loved ones. When someone feels this way, it's hard to reach out for support. Maybe it's because we don't want to feel like being a burden to others, or because we don't want people to know our personal struggles. In reality, our life struggles are much more commonly shared than we actually realize. Most of us just want to be content in life. You are not alone! I understand, and together we will get you where you want to be in life.
