I am a Licensed professional counselor with more than twenty years of experience in the field of counseling. My goal as a clinician is to help individuals and familes deal with their struggles, working with them to build appropriate skills as necessary and harness strategies to effectively deal with them. In addition to being a professional, I am also a Christian therapist who values an individual's faith values. Faith can be an important component in therapy and when appropriate, I provide counseling from a Christian/ biblical world view too.

You might be carrying a burden that does not belong to you. Maybe someone told you it did or you blamed it on yourself. Maybe you are taking a "fierce moral inventory," (Step 4) and you want to "make amends" (Step 9). Walking around with guilt or shame is like carrying a bag of heavy stones that exhausts you; life has become bitter. But something tells you that you want to breathe free, break those chains of addiction, come out of the closet, let go of guilt that has nothing to do with you.

There’s a part of you that feels like you’re about to give up​​​​​​​! And that's where we come in. You're stuck in a repetitive cycle with little improvement. You find it hard to smile and it makes you wonder when peace will arrive. You’re burnt out, too tired to hang with friends, too overwhelmed to play with your kids and the sight of your significant other is not helping. How long will continue with these repetitive cycles? This isn’t a healthy way to live and if you continue you may end up resenting the world and yourself. Operating from a place of discomfort is never easy and finding the help you deserve can be even harder.

At Grace Valley Clinical Services, we support individuals who are silently struggling—those who show up for everyone else, but deep down feel anxious, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted. Many carry the weight of past trauma, grief, rejection, or emotional neglect. Others are navigating faith questions, burnout, strained relationships, or major life transitions that leave them feeling off-center and out of control.

My ideal client is a first-generation immigrant or first-generation American who feels pulled between cultural expectations and their own needs. They may struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, guilt, or shame, and feel “not enough” despite being capable and thoughtful. They want a safe, culturally responsive space to process emotions, heal past experiences, and better understand themselves. Their goal is to build confidence, reduce anxiety, improve relationships, and live more authentically—with greater clarity, balance, and inner peace.

I know what it is like to live in a psychological prison, trying to "stay strong" while repeating the narrative "I'm ok!". You don't have to go on this journey alone. The common thread amongst all clientele is a desire for positive change. At times one may need a helping hand to guide them on their journey in a therapeutic, environment. Seeking guidance is a courageous first step to wholeness and lasting change. Seeking therapy does not mean that you are weak or "crazy"; it means you have decided to address your concerns with non-biased professional help. It's ok to find someone to help you cope with the stressors of life!

Growing up you may have fantasized and planned out how your life as a woman would be -starting a career, meeting "the one", getting married, having kids, and living happily ever after. Then, you started "adulting", and nothing is going as planned. You may be single or unsure about your relationship. Maybe you're having trouble starting a family. There could be feelings of guilt or shame because you're not overjoyed about your baby or family. You are struggling with your pregnancy or your postpartum transition. You are nervous, afraid, and want to feel better but don't know how. Or maybe you're just trying to figure out life. You don't have to feel this way forever. You can feel like yourself again and find your way.

After 38 years of experience with adults, children, families, and couples, and many transformational groups, I developed Heart Path Therapy (HPT), integrating the most life changing tools. They include ancient spiritual wisdom, guided imagery, inner childwork, energy psychology (similar to EFT & EMDR), use of sound, and ancestral connection work (Family Constellations). The goal is to transform emotional and relational struggles by bringing compassion to the source and in turn empower a greater sense of meaning and purpose in life. Join an adolescent or adult HPT Group, inspiring online heart opening communities.
