Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Coachella, CA

As a teen I worked with foster youth who shared their stories of abandonment, loneliness, and trauma. As a kid myself I didn't fully know how to support besides listening and comfort. I never wanted to feel that helpless when helping a fellow human being again so I became a therapist. Watching people heal and having the privilege of being a part of their journey has been my greatest joy as a therapist.

However, many of us struggle to break free from the blocks and barriers that keep our true selves hidden. Good therapy offers a path for removing these obstacles and allowing our true selves to shine through.
