For over 19 years I've worked with people experiencing mental illness (anxiety, depression & PTSD), relationship conflict, families dealing with a love one's mental illness, domestic violence, crisis management, and Child Protective Services (DCFS).
Sudden life circumstances can create worry, stress, confusion, sadness, anger, emotional pain, and frustration among many other emotions. Do you ever feel that way? Is it because of family problems or hardships in your intimate relationship, or are you having negative thoughts about life itself? With 20 years of experience in mental health, crisis management, relationship conflict, domestic violence and child welfare my primary focus is to help you heal and find solutions. If you need professional help, I look forward to working with you in a safe, professional, and judgment free manner.

I have done extensive work with victims of domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, depression, anxiety caregiving, (especially to those caring for others with dementia), marital issues and spiritual questions.
For the last 23 years I have been a Biblical Counselor and trainer in a local church in the Antelope Valley of Southern California. My cliental was largely Christian in their outlook and practice but I also valued and enjoyed my time spent with many people without a specific faith tradition. Spirituality is an important aspect of our identity, and I am qualified by education and experience to integrate Biblical values into the counseling relationship, but my practice has never been exclusively Christian. Depression, anxiety, grief, marital issues and life transitions effect all of us.

In 2020, I opened a private practice. I was blessed it grew to full capacity but dealt with sadness of turning people away due to no space. Frequently people shared their difficulties with finding therapy. I am tired of people and families, who are suffering emotionally not getting the help they need. So, I put together a group of several skilled clinicians. We operate by providing a therapy environment that is confidential and emotionally safe. We’re dedicated to making people feel comfortable and understood when discussing the most sensitive issues. Our goal is to ensure support that is empathetic and non-judgmental.

Domestic Abuse Therapists

What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?

Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognize that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?

Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?

Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?

It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
