Spirituality Therapists in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

From the outside, you may appear to have it all worked out. But you are feeling alone, you are plagued with anxiety, self-doubt, and dissatisfaction. Perhaps you've lost sight of who you are, where you're headed, and why you're working so hard. You want to feel better but find yourself stuck in old patterns and feeling like you'll never be able to change. I am a firm believe in the healing power of human connection. We are all needing to be heard, seen, loved, and appreciated. I'll step in with you and help guide the way to move past the obstacles that are getting in the way of your happiness.

People find me when their old coping strategies stop working. If your usual strategies for handling life just…broke... you're not the only one going through that. You might have tried to OUT-PERFORM your pain. Or maybe you tried to OUT-RUN your pain. Finally, you tried to OUT-PRAY your pain. All of these strategies kind-of work a little. Thankfully. Hard work, moving and breathing, and spirituality are an important part of recovering from stress. But these strategies don’t work all the way because the mind and body combine to create a specific reaction when we’ve been through something awful.

Do you struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, challenging relationships, or loss of a sense of self that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, or work? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, or have trouble getting through the day, answering emails, texts, or calls with the thought there’s no light at the end of the tunnel? More than ever, people have been feeling uncertain, anxious, and overwhelmed about their overall struggle with anxiety and depression, moving past traumas and complex relationships. Living better shouldn’t be hard; people can change, and hope and answers exist.

My belief is that we are happiest when we are mentally, spiritually, and physically balanced. Sometimes things happen that disrupt this balance, and impact our ability to lead a fulfilling life. My goal is to partner with people to discover balance, as well as provide hope and healing to those who are hurting. I know it can be uncomfortable thinking about going to counseling, and many wait until things seem hopeless. I believe that there is always hope, and with the right tools and support, you can move forward and begin enjoying life to the fullest.

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.

Being bilingual has allowed me to work with Spanish speaking families. Being from a first generation immigrant family makes me sensitive to bi cultural issues. My scope of practice has been primarily with young children, foster children, and adolescents. I also work along with parents to provide them with skills to handle problems such as tantrums, sensory issues, parenting/discipline issues, behavioral problems, and traumas. I also work with young adults struggling with family conflicts, bi-cultural issues, career decisions, depression, anxiety, and childhood trauma.
