Therapists in Fontana, CA

Learning to be transparent and vulnerable is difficult but not impossible. These skills take time and are based on trust. As a therapist I would love to be a person who you can trust because I DO care. I want to understand you better and work alongside of you to help you become the best possible version of yourself. I love working with individuals who often lose a sense of self because of putting others before them such as their spouse or children. It can be the hardest question to answer when someone asks you, what do YOU want? My goal to help you live as the BEST version of yourself is to start with caring for YOU first.

Not feeling like yourself lately? Struggling with managing life’s day-to-day challenges? You are not alone! Millions of people, from all walks of life, struggle with managing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, mood swings, stress, insomnia, and many other common mental health issues. Acknowledging that you need professional help is the first and most important step toward getting your life back on track. Working together, I can help you identify the root of the problem, develop a client-centered treatment plan, and start implementing evidence-based practices to meet your individualized treatment goals.

My job as your therapist is to help you navigate your way through life transitions and daily activities that may cause distress while discovering worthiness, purpose and meaning in your life. I will gently push you towards your goals, and challenge you at times, in a way that feels supportive and kind.

Life's stressors, past and/or current, can become very challenging and overwhelming at times. These stressors can cause us to feel "stuck" and that may interfere with our daily functioning and our ability to move forward and reach goals. Fortunately, therapy can help. I work with people who are interested in learning the necessary skills to address and resolve past and ongoing stressors. Identifying obstacles, overcoming challenges, and healing are all possible with therapy.

I typically work with clients who are navigating self-esteem issues, relationship issues, parenting struggles, work problems, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues as well as parenting struggles. I have experience working with clients who identify as LGBTQ+ as well as multicultural clients. We all need to feel that we are seen and heard and supported by others. I listen empathetically and provide insight and tools. I am non-judgemental and collaborative.

Let's get real. There comes a time in everyone's life when you feel that you are at the end of your rope. You are seeking anyone who will truly listen and try to understand your pain. Is this you right now? You may be saying, HOW did I get here and why am I still stuck here? The challenge of the sudden loss of a loved one, the betrayal by your spouse, a defiant child, or just feeling lost can result in having panic attacks, racing thoughts, sadness you can’t shake, feeling abandoned, desiring to isolate, and using unhealthy coping behaviors. Sometimes things are just too difficult to bear alone. Let's talk.
