Therapists in Murrieta, CA
I believe therapy is a collaboration. I emphasize the importance of meeting clients where they are at and guiding them to where they would like to be. I want to empower my clients and advocate for them throughout the therapeutic process. At the end of the day, I feel that each person is the expert on their own self, and at different seasons in our lives, we all need extra support and validation.

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.

The goals in therapy need to be your goals-with achievable and manageable steps to reach the goal. We discuss the issue, set the goals, and discuss the goals each session.
In our first session, we will discuss intake paperwork, go over the type of therapy you can expect from me, and also what kind of therapy received in the past, if any. I will go through the intake on your background, what brought you here, and the goals sheet to get to know you more for our journey.

Maybe, there's a part of you that doesn't understand why you're finding motherhood to be so much harder compared to others. Getting out of the house, keeping up with the demands, and coping with crying, all while operating on very little sleep. You never expected motherhood to be this difficult.
You want to thrive in parenthood, not be filled with doubts, shame, or constantly overstimulated. You want to feel connected and grounded in your role as a mother, but you're still trying to figure out how.

My clients seek treatment for anxiety, depression, complex trauma, suicidal ideation, and self-harm histories. I have worked with survivors of foster care, drug abuse, war, grief/loss, neglect, and other traumas. I utilize client-centered, trauma-informed models that stabilize symptoms, while we prepare for trauma reprocessing. I work with anyone over the age of 18 and will make some exceptions for minors and their families who are motivated to work on communication, conflict resolution, and emotional healing.
