Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Therapists in Murrieta, CA

EMDR and trauma specialist, depression, anxiety. I am passionate about what I do and feel lucky to be a part of your journey. Do you feel stuck in your current situation? Do you feel alone or not being heard? Are you not sure where to begin? Oftentimes, finding help or initiating that first step can be scary and daunting. I would like to be there for you when you take that first step and continue on in your journey.

I am a United States Air Force veteran. I have a strong desire to help couples, families, and adult individuals find hope and healing as they work through anxiety, depression, illness related struggles, attachment issues, ADD/ADHD and challenges associated with military life. I am also interested in working with pastor's wives and other women in ministry who struggle with relationships, spiritual growth and finding balance.

Never before have children, adolescents, and young adults in the education system been more challenged. High-stakes standardized testing and the one size fits all approach to education have caused some of the most resilient students to become stressed and/or fall behind. Students who have disabilities are often overlooked or given the incorrect interventions, causing them to fall further behind. I offer comprehensive evaluations that not only determine if a child qualifies for special education but also by finding each child's unique strengths and weaknesses we are able to match the interventions to the child's unique needs.

Think on this... Do you find that you are struggling with emotional issues/psychological disorders, dealing with life obstacles or performance issues, overwhelmed with the nagging and always-present stumbling blocks that affect your self-confidence and growth, have trouble navigating relationship difficulties, or you just want to figure out better ways to handle everyday stresses and take better care of yourself? Let's talk. I have extensive training and experience in working in areas of psychological disorders, relational issues, performance optimization, and other life and wellness concerns. Offices in Murrieta, Hemet, and MoVal.

My ultimate goal in practice is to provide you or your child with a thorough, comprehensive psychological assessment that will allow you to fully understand you or your child’s unique learning and emotional needs. I do not perform “drive thru” evaluations and seek at all costs to make an accurate and well-supported diagnosis that can help you or your child receive the proper school accommodations, academic interventions, or psychological services to become your best self.

I have considerable experience and expertise working with parents, children, adolescents and families in crisis that may have specific issues related to separated/divorced parents, adoptive, foster and blended families. I especially enjoy collaborating with parents to bring out the best in their children and the parent-child relationship. In addition, I provide couples and individual counseling for those dealing with communication difficulties, anger management issues, loss, trauma, abuse, developmental issues and those with chronic psychiatric conditions.

I am a Christian therapist who specializes in healing relationships. I am certified in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy which has helped children and adults overcome the results of PTSD and abuse. I have over 25 years experience in law enforcement and a passion for police and military families. I created Encouragers Counseling & Training Centers, Inc. (501(c)(3) Non-Profit to offer affordable counseling options to many who do not have financial means for getting help. We have offices in Murrieta & Corona. I also have a Professional Practice named Encouragers Family Counseling who takes Kaiser, Medi-Cal and IEHP.

Everyone deserves a chance at feeling their best, even if there seems to be no hope and you can't find the answers. Neurofeedback gives people hope through noticeable changes- a lightness of being, a sense of peace that emanates from within. Neurofeedback disrupts the issues in neural and central nervous system dysfunctions and allows people to function at their very best. I've personally helped countless people attain the life they deserve, free from emotional, mental, and physical impairments.

I offer a variety of treatment options to help you achieve your goals. One option, is that of Neurofeedback which is a non-invasive way to exercise your brain to resolve issues such as anxiety, autisim spectrum disorders, sleep, depression, focus. I also have 10 years of experience working with assisting families who are separating and divorcing and helping them do so in a way that is best for their children. I look forward to talking with you about how I can help you and always offer a FREE 15 min consultation for all services provided.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients and strongly believe that as a therapist my job is to be the fellow traveler of those that seek the road of recovery of whatever their challenges might be. I have great respect for those individuals that seek to overcome life challenges that impair their lives and have the determination to reach out for help. I am also a Christian Pastor, who clearly predicates inclusiveness and love without any trace of judgement, welcoming all and embracing diversity.

I specialize in working with first responders, law enforcement, and federal employees and provide individual, couples, and family treatment. I am an informed, experienced therapist in active-duty military and veteran cultures. I work best with clients who are ready to take an active role in their treatment and are receptive to interventions that require work both in and outside of the therapy room. I see myself more as a skilled "coach" who will assist you in developing the skills necessary to be your own therapist. You will find that I bring myself into the room and that I use creativity and humor to tackle your treatment goals.

Let me help you "Design Your Life!" We tend to design certain parts of our lives, maybe where we're going to live, or what kind of job we want to have. But when it comes to the most important things: relationships, marriages, parenting, and our own happiness, we often tend to just land where we land. Then we wonder why we are not happy or why things are not working out the way we had hoped. My goal is to help you get in the "driver's seat" of your life, to find true fulfillment, to "Design Your Life."
