Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Riverside, CA

Feeling anxious, depressed, upset, confused, lonely, experiencing a pressing issue or racing thoughts? Mental health issues or problems can be overwheling and difficult, but that does not mean you have to experience the spiraling effects alone. As a mental health professional, my approach is to help you utilize your innate abilities to manage everyday challenges.

Together we can build a trusting relationship and address you're mental health needs.

I’m an engaged, compassionate, experienced therapist who challenges my clients to lead more conscious and engaged lives.

I offer a blend of talk therapy with visualization, and mindfulness approaches. I have helped many clients recover from difficult life challenges to live more productive and fulfilling lives.

Everyone has core beliefs that are often formulated at an early age, and can refer to a cognitive construct such as "I don't belong" or "people can't be trusted." When someone is anxious the core belief of "I am a failure" could be activated. When activated these beliefs are experienced by the individual as absolute truths. Although we may "believe" them,the good news is these thoughts are largely false beliefs and can be overcome to fit who you value yourself to be and the purpose you see fit for your life.

If you have experienced any kind of trauma, abuse, loss of a loved one, or loss of a dream. If you have reached a point in your life in which you no longer feel hope, happiness or if stress-anxiety, panic attacks, and or phobias have taken over your life. If you are struggling with low self- esteem, not feeling worthy, or if you are trying to find meaning in your life: then now is the time to feel better. You can feel joy, peace, and hope. I can help guide you on your journey towards healing and feeling more content in your life. You will learn who you are and the important role you have in your life.

Your thoughts are racing. You are questioning your next move. Worst case scenarios are all you can think about. The “what if’s” in your brain start taking over. What if I lose control? What if I get a heart attack? Are others noticing what's happening to me? Where is the nearest exit? Fear begins to overwhelm your thoughts and panic begins to take over. Here we go again. Another panic attack and I’ve lost all control. Another day consumed by anxiety. Even though you want to be bold and fight, your brain tells you that you just can’t do it. It’s always going to be this way.

Tired of depression, anxiety, fear of abandonment, recurrent relationship problems, low self-esteem/self-hatred, substances, or just feeling stuck? Feels like no one understands? My focus is on trauma and early attachment injuries. I work with teenagers and adults, especially people with disabilities (including Deaf/hard of hearing) and international aid workers/expats. My clients want to remember the past but not relive it and free themselves from old pain and fears, so they can get out there and live in color, in touch with their emotions but not ruled by them. All abilities, races, creeds, sexual and gender identities welcome.
