I am currently providing psychotherapy services in both English and Spanish in person and via Telehealth in California. As a strength-based clinician, I have had the opportunity and privilege to assist people in the process of bringing stability and healing to their lives, by helping them to find and recognize their own inner strengths and applying them to their daily lives.

Have you found it difficult to relate to people around you, manage your stress, reduce anxiety, or regulate your mood? I work with individuals to help increase self-awareness, improve relationships, and regulate mood, through processes that increase authentic communication, creative expression, self-awareness and other important skills.

Life can be overwhelming and full of challenges. I believe we all have the need for a little help at times; someone who listens without judgment and encourages personal growth. I focus on providing compassionate, quality counseling and support individuals in developing new tools to better address troubling issues. I specialize in the treatment of Autism and Aspergers, as well as anxiety, depression, and ADHD/ADD.

Hello and welcome. You have taken the first step in an exciting and rewarding journey to understand and heal from issues which can keep you from your fullest happiness. Together we will embark on a partnership to explore who you are, and why you make the choices you do. Although I treat many different issues, my biggest passions are healing wounds from childhood sexual abuse, working with mood disorders, and helping find a healthy balance in daily life.

I am the founder and CEO of Workforce Chaplaincy Inc. Our organization deploys professional corporate/workplace chaplains to provide for the emotional and practical needs of employees and their families in Central California companies. We provide weekly onsite visits and offsite counseling as a voluntary benefit paid for by companies. Our chaplains are available 24/7 for personal and corporate crisis response.

Not accepting new clients at this time. “Healing takes time, and asking for help is a courageous step” – Mariska Hargitay. Life can sometimes be difficult to manage. Taking that courageous step and asking for help allows us to gain a better understanding of how to manage our life's stresses, our relationships with others, and improve our quality of life. I work with individuals who struggle with substance abuse, depression, anxiety, and trauma and often experience anger/aggression, impulsivity, low self-esteem, communication struggles, and family/social relational conflicts.

My work with clients for over 26 years has allowed me to be part of a special journey with each individual. My experience in the field of social work and psychotherapy, serving multiple ages, socioeconomic and culturally diverse clients has allowed me to learn how each client has needs and life goals, which are part of their life journey. I work with clients to focus on who is writing their stories in positive and adverse ways, which causes them to be stuck, wounded, or lost. In the process of therapy, we explore skills and/or deep healing to move toward healthier experiences, relationships, and living.

Hello and welcome. There are moments in everyone's life when things can begin to feel overwhelming. You have taken the first step towards a journey to gain healing of mind, body and spirit. Therapy can be extremely helpful in learning new ways to cope with our complex lives and learn to live more fully. Together we can create a new path in your life in which you will learn self-acceptance and be more in tune with thoughts, feelings and emotions. Remember that your healing and transformation is a process that requires patience, kindness, and allowing yourself to be human.

Therapy is the first step in your journey of self exploration and change. Life presents obstacles and challenges that mold us into who we are and there are times when we all need some help in managing those stressors. The therapeutic process may assist in gaining a new perspective on how to manage those daunting obstacles you face day to day.

Compassion, safety, flexibility-- these are qualities that I believe are key to good psychotherapy. I offer a caring and safe atmosphere with treatment tailored to your individual needs. I also bring 20+ years of experience working with a wide range of mental health and personal growth issues. Areas of special interest and expertise are women's issues, trauma, and depression. I am trained in EMDR and have used it successfully for many issues, as well as more traditional talk therapy.

I work with individuals who want to understand themselves better. In our chaotic world, often there isn't enough time to think about ourselves: who we are, what we believe and how we want our life to unfold. I believe change happens when we go back to the past to understand what contributed to forming us into the person we are today. Then we can make changes in the present so the past no longer dictates our actions, and we can move forward with confidence. I have 20 years of experience working with trauma of all kinds, depression and anxiety.

Are you trying to manage trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, family or relationship issues by yourself? You don't have to! I know it can be hard to reach out and ask for help. All of our problems exist within, and finding a therapist to help you unlock the issues that stand between you and freedom is here for the taking. You've taken the first step by reaching out for help to begin healing mentally and emotionally. I am honored to walk with you on this journey of healing and hope.

I offers in person sessions and telehealth. Free consultations. Bilingual English/Spanish. Accepting New Clients. Accept most PPOs. Life events can contribute to barriers in reaching those goals. Learning how to process and cope can assist in creating a healthy balance in your life. If you feel like you're ready to make a change, please contact me to set up an appointment. We will talk about your needs and how we can work together to start your journey.

Are you losing hope due to emotional stress, anxiety, past trauma and abuse, or as a result of difficult relationships? I believe hope is what drives emotions, relationships, job satisfaction, and life fulfillment. Therefore, my practice is based on hope. I always keep hope before me, and I will help you find your own hope as we work through your struggles and emotions.

I believe that finding a therapist that is the right fit for you is especially important. Therapy is a place where one goes to share vulnerable/personal things about themselves in hopes of getting help. I may be the right fit for you if any of these questions resonate with you: Do you feel overwhelmed with life or carry a constant anxious energy? Do you have continual negative self talk in your head? Do you want to be freed from feeling sad, down or stuck? My hope is that I can help you become more self aware, self loving, and understanding of how you are wired, how you can rewire yourself and regain control of your life.

We all go through difficult times. We face more challenges today than ever with family, careers, relationships, and parenting. Therapy can be extremely helpful in learning new ways to cope with our complex lives and learn to live more fully. No one has to walk this journey alone. I don't have all the answers, but I would love to help you discover your own strengths and uniqueness and help you flourish. I graduated from Fresno Pacific University and completed my Master’s Degree at the Seminary. I would love to help you live your best life.

When you're challenged, depressed, anxious or struggling in life, or relationship it can seem difficult to navigate the world in a meaningful, authentic way to where it feels almost impossible. I offer a safe environment to allow you to express yourself without judgment. I will help you with the emotional imbalance that many family members and friends are unable to do. Through empathy, unconditional positive regard, understanding and genuine compassion for your struggle, I will work with you as you fulfill that need for a better, happier, more meaningful life.
