Therapists in Riverside, CA

Hi there, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 4 years of experience in the field. I am passionate about providing empathic and unconditional support to individuals, couples, and families while treating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, and life transitions. I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all clients, and I tailor my approach to meet each individual's unique needs and goals. Whether you are seeking support for a specific challenge or simply seeking personal growth, I am here to listen and guide you toward healing & wellbeing.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with extensive experience working with teenagers, young adults, and families. Using an integrative therapeutic approach including CBT, DBT, trauma-informed, and other modalities, I treat a wide range of mental health issues, including Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, low self-esteem, and other issues. As a therapist, I am committed to providing a safe, caring, and accepting environment that encourages healing and growth.

This may not be an easy time in your life and I respect your courage to reach out for help. Hiding fear of failure or family pressure to be perfect and make it look effortless is a daily struggle. I know you can be overwhelmed. Frustrated and angry. I have lived it and have decades of experience. After facing the pressure from parents, peers, or yourself, you need a place to sort out who you are and how you fit into these pieces. You may be looking for a safe place to work through your challenges, such as when you are experiencing anxiety or depression, or even a unique cultural experience that you feel nobody understands.

I know... reaching out for therapy is difficult. The thought of a confiding in a complete stranger can seem weird. But I have high hopes that this will be the start of something beautiful. If you are an individual who feels empowered to help calm your anxieties, lift your spirits, and get rid of anything standing in the way of you living your best life, then you're in the right place.

I am glad you're looking for therapeutic support in times that are drastically impacted by the capitalist mindset and inequality. Life’s external factors such as stress and trauma experiences including but not limited to childhood abuse, physical abuse, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, racial and social traumas as well as anti LGBTQ+ policies are taking toll on our bodies. These show up as fatigue, sadness, anxiety, overthinking, thoughts of self-harm, and disables us from our lives. In such times we all can use trauma-informed and nonjudgmental professional support to help us heal from root causes of these symptoms.
