Couples Counseling Therapists in Moreno Valley, CA
Everything in life is a learned experience, and my goal is to help individuals, couples, and families reach the level of satisfaction and joy they desire.
Throughout life, we all experience heartaches, pains, trials, and tribulations that affect us in various ways. Many times we need someone to hear and understand us while providing support and guidance. I am a nonjudgmental Mental Health Clinician who enjoys working with children, adolescents, and adults to explore the highs and lows in life. I create a safe space for individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings while empowering them to be reflective. I encourage clients to explore solutions, deep-seated emotions, and the origins of those emotions, and strengthen relationships.

I specialize in working with college & graduate students, young professionals, adults, and couples, and have experience addressing issues such as panic disorder, anxiety, depression, PTSD, grief, and more.
Attachment-Based Therapy for those struggling with difficult emotions, anxiety, depression, & relationship trauma - Most of us weren’t taught about emotions or how to care for them. But emotions follow us through our whole life and play an important role in how we relate to ourselves and to other people. When we don't learn to care for and communicate our emotions in a healthy way, we have a harder time in adulthood establishing healthy attachments to others and feeling secure within ourselves. This is often to case for those of us who have experienced trauma, emotional neglect, or betrayal in the past.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
