I am passionate about providing quality, in-depth, and compassionate therapy for those wanting to understand themselves and their relationships on a deeper level, especially those feeling frustrated with relational and habitual patterns that no longer serve them. I strive to do this by collaboratively exploring your inner workings to uncover maladaptive beliefs, behaviors, or emotional responses that have developed as a result of painful past experiences that continue to shape your perception of yourself, others, and the world. I seek to understand all of the above in the context of your unique ecosystem of culture and upbringing.

Are you wanting to feel differently or have something change in your life but dont know how to get there? Sometimes we just need help generating the internal and external life we crave.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Journeys Counseling provides professional psychotherapy, vibrant living coaching, and spiritual direction to the community. Our work is interdenominational, serving clients from many different backgrounds, including those who have little or no religious affiliation. As a Christian organization we believe counseling should address the whole person and be respectful of people’s faith. Individual’s beliefs are both an important part of their lives and a valuable resource when experiencing distress. Counseling should assist in developing those resources further. Often, people lack support systems that help deal with personal problems.

You are determined, smart and used to navigating challenges but this feels different. Normally you could handle it yourself or push the worry away but bigger questions are arising and you are left feeling overwhelmed, lost in ambivalence, stressed, anxious and not sure what can help. You feel like your dreams and what you have worked for are slipping away and it's impacting your life & relationships. This may be triggering lots of painful or scary feelings, memories from your past, not feeling like yourself or the idea that now is the time to make real change and get help.

Are you worried about your child? Are they struggling with social-emotional or behavioral difficulties? Reaching out for help is the first step. I have experience working with children ages 5-11 in both therapeutic and academic settings. I have a relaxed, easygoing demeanor and quickly build rapport with children, as trust is the first step toward building a strong therapeutic relationship. Ultimately, I believe the relationship is what heals and the child intrinsically knows how to and has the capacity to heal.

I am a compassionate and caring licensed professional therapist, with many years of combined personal and professional experience working in various capacities with children, teens, and adults. As a hard working mother who raised four children (two boys and two girls), I understand the stressors that families go through in this journey we call "life." Although children and teens may be hesitant to meet with a therapist, you will find that they will warm up to me quickly. I have ways to connect with children and teens through a variety of interventions, including therapy-type games and casual and relaxed conversation.

As a trauma-informed therapist, my primary goal is to facilitate a safe and nourishing place for my clients, where they can explore their subconscious in a compassionate environment and discover the healing available to them. My therapeutic approach is bottom- up. A bottom- up approach addresses the somatic and psychological impacts of trauma by attuning to bodily sensations through mindfulness, somatic experiencing, and other mind-body techniques.
