Therapists in Riverside, CA

Therapy is about how the client and therapist vibe. Connection and emotional safety are critical. Therapy should be a comfortable fit. Especially for when we tackle difficult topics together in a session. When emotional safety and trust are created, that’s when therapy works at its best. My belief is that therapy should be approachable and feel light enough to have you feeling motivated to show up for yourself and make progress towards your goals.

Sometimes we all need a little extra support during tough times. Let me be that support for you. Therapy can be a very scary process for many people.

Life often comes with experiences that are difficult to handle. In my experience in working with individuals, couples, children, and families, I have come to understand that stressful and negative life experiences can present at different times. This may make it more difficult for us to cope, connect, and function in our daily life and with others. I understand that reaching out for support can be difficult, but necessary at times. In my work, I do my best to provide a safe, supportive, and understanding environment that enables individuals the space to explore the situations and experiences that have occurred.

Are you looking for a friend or a therapist? Friends tend to be an echo chamber, just agreeing with the things we say. Friends are like us, don't push us, and don't challenge us. This isn’t a problem in a social group when you’re hanging out and just being part of the tribe (everyone wants to be accepted). But we’re unlikely to find new approaches to problems by consulting people who think just like us and aren’t trained either! So, we spiral in our thoughts and problems eventually becoming a person we don't recognize.
