Stress Therapists in Livingston, CA

With more than 15 years of counseling experience, I have seen the toughest trials and the greatest triumphs. I’ve seen hopelessness change to confidence, fear turn to peace, and sadness into joy. And, while therapy isn’t always easy, the results are worth the effort. I personally utilize CBT treatments for anxiety and/or depressive-based disorders and Motivational Interviewing for addiction related struggles. Lastly, I consider spiritual health, physical health, and emotional health to all be equally important to one’s psychological well-being.

While trauma, chronic stress, and hardship can have a huge toll on our mood and functioning, they also provide a unique opportunity for exponential growth and building long-term resilience.

My goal is to empower my clients to discover and live out the best versions of themselves as they define it.
