Adults Therapists in Upland, CA
Specializing in addiction, codependency, and women's issues. My approach to the therapeutic process is one that stresses creating a safe, trusting, respectful relationship with my clients. I recognize that different people respond to different interventions and I am comfortable with an eclectic approach to foster change. I am naturally someone who enjoys people and engaging them in examining what they value and want for their life. Life is a series of choices. Insight is vital but lasting change happens when we do something different that is effective in building our self and a new perspective on life's possibilities.â;

Do you feel anxious, confused, lost, guilty, hopeless, helpless, stuck? Is someone in your life easily angered, constantly blaming, manipulating, lying, threatening, contemptuous?

You'll be my sole focus. Offered virtually, in Upland, or at a serene retreat setting in Running Springs.

Vulnerability researcher and storyteller Brené Brown stated once that authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we are supposed to be, and instead, embracing who we are. Do you feel insecure, lost, or helpless? Do you ever feel immense pressure to be someone that you are not? Do you feel depressed or anxious about life’s journey or had a loss? Do you find yourself dwelling on the past or the future, preventing you from truly living a joyous life? Have you experienced trauma or loss and are struggling to move forward? I will help you understand yourself better so you can live a peaceful and happier life.

We all carry emotional struggles—some more painful and enduring than others—that shape how we experience the present. At times, our feelings may seem dismissed or misunderstood by others, leaving us in conflict or emotional distress.
Healing begins with the courage to look within. With the grace of God and a gradual process of exploring your inner world—particularly the beliefs and experiences that have shaped you—you can begin to understand, heal, and transform. This journey can lead to deeper relationships, greater self-acceptance, and renewed emotional well-being.

We all struggle at times with feelings of unresolved hurt, anxiety, depression, and anger. These feelings can rob us of the joy we might normally experience in our selves and our relationships. It is never easy to admit to having personal issues or to examine our past experiences. We all want to be heard and know that someone is listening to us. We want to have confidence in our relationships that they are healthy, loving and dependable. Sometimes these questions are more fundamental. What are we doing with our lives? We all want to be whole, confident in who we are and in our relationships. We want to be our best selves.

A Greek philosopher told us the only thing constant is change; it seems life is full of changes and challenges. When we're confident and strong, we usually adapt fairly well to stresses and struggles. It's different, though, when unpleasant emotions or complex issues seem to drain practically all the energy we can muster just to get through the day. Feeling overly confused or frustrated, maybe even lost or helpless, might mean it's time to reach out for help to identify, work through, and manage whatever is getting in the way of our happiness and peace of mind. I might be just the person who can do that for you.
