There are times when you feel as though you have tried everything and it's difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Going through that tunnel alone can be extremely scary and anxiety provoking. Facing those challenges may be painful and going though all the different emotions are overwhelming. Therapy can be a safe space for individuals to learn how to identify, process and heal from their past. It can be difficult to heal from the past without the proper tools, therefore prioritizing the importance of individualizing this journey to your specific needs is one of the most important aspects of starting therapy.

Upon starting a new therapeutic journey, I always share that through this process, we will change the idea of “why is this happening to me” to “everything is going according to plan.” As we get started, the first order of business is to construct an environment where you can feel seen, heard, and safe throughout this journey of self-discovery. The goal is to meet you where you are, so we can get you where you want to be. We will accomplish this by taking an integrative approach to facilitate personal growth and healing by identifying themes, unresolved conflicts, and behavioral patterns.

Are you struggling with identity? Feeling worthless or like an imposter? Are you snapping at loved ones over little things? Or repeating relationships, patterns, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. That's where I come in. My job is to listen, help you understand the root causes of your issues, break unwanted patterns, and teach you practical tools to change your life. Therapy isn't always easy, but neither is the distress you're feeling now. And it's ok to need help; we all do.

We assist clients in developing a clinical understanding of their emotions/behaviors in the context of their relationships with others. Assisting clients to understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings and responses helps them gain control over themselves and their environment. When life happens, and we are in the midst of chaos, our brain gets stuck and begins to believe that there are no options available; but sometimes we need a push, an emotional support, or just someone to talk to, to help us un-knot the chaos in our mind with the essential problem-solving skills that we need to manage our lives properly.

You feel an unexplained sense of hopelessness. You have had better days, but difficult emotions seem to be in control of you. You wonder why it's so difficult to be with your thoughts, why a stable connection with others feels so hard to establish, and why it feels so impossible to please everyone without compromising your own well-being. You want to know how to better relate to yourself and your loved ones. Is it even possible to be happy? Or is it impossible because something is wrong with me? These questions confront you so often, but you are struggling to find the answers.

I practice in person and via video as an LPCC at Caring Connected in Valencia and have 8+ years of experience across community mental health, school-based, & private practice settings.
Are you struggling to truly change? Are you tired of negative thoughts, painful memories, imposter syndrome, self-esteem, or decreased motivation? Do you fall into patterns in relationships, friendships, or work and wish you could break the cycle? Sometimes, it isn't obvious why we do the things we do, but we can sense we're not our most authentic or successful self. Even when we know the cause of our distress, changing our behavior can still be hard. That's where I come in. My job is to listen without judgment, pressure, or bias and help you examine the root causes of your challenges to create the change you want in your life.

You can’t bring yourself to face your past trauma. You’ve been to countless self-help programs and created a self-care routine, but the past still torments you. Deep down, there’s something you can’t confront, a darkness that won’t relent. You’ve been isolating yourself from your friends and family because you’re afraid you’ve become a burden. You feel alone, tired all the time, and annoyed at yourself for not being “over it.”
