Your journey to healing depends on two things: a relationship built on trust and guidance to help you find your purpose. Focusing on both mind and body, Sky's the Limit facilitates whole change by helping you unlock those things from the past that block healing. When you learn to change your mind about who you are and begin to see the truth, healing begins.

I believe therapy to be an approach that heals the soul. I encourage a caring and accepting environment in which the therapist-client relationship is a key aspect of the healing process. My ideal client is one who wishes to grow and heal through the process of personal exploration, skill development and commitment to their healing journey.I have experience treating individuals with emotional challenges such as depression, anxiety, panic, and relational issues through the use of short-term CBT and (long-term) insight oriented therapy like Existential and Psychodynamic therapy.

Most marriage and family therapists believe a wide range of individual problems must be understood within the context of the family and social environments. I believe in this systems approach to mental and emotional problems and have the goal to change problematic, repetitive interactions that contribute to the presenting problem. As a trauma informed therapist, I am aware of the long-lasting effects of childhood trauma and will explore that using a narrative therapy approach. Our goal for therapy is the reduce distress and improve functionality. In what ways are you feeling not OK? Let’s help you start feeling OK.

Helping children, adolescents, and their families is important to me. Having spent 17 years working with children in educational settings, I understand the struggles families face when dealing with behavioral and social issues, poor academic performance, learning disabilities, and mental health issues. Families may be faced with unexpected challenges such as loss of a loved one, loss of a job, or divorce. Not being able to help your child or teen with problems they face, or not being able to bring your family together as a loving unit can be frustrating and disheartening as a parent.

The first step in therapy is having the courage to reach out. You are on the right track by being on here today! Celebrate this. It is important that you find a therapist that you are comfortable with. You deserve to find someone that you can be open and honest with who will respect and support you on your journey. Asking for help is a very humbling experience and it takes strength.

I strive to create a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment where we can collaboratively explore, understand and clarify your feelings as well as find more adaptive ways to cope and problem-solve the issues in your life. I believe that you can’t really understand someone’s present world without understanding their past experiences and how that is negatively or positively impacting their life now. In therapy,

Everyone is experiencing unique challenges right now. Some are considering therapy for the first time. Reach out. Get the support you need. Times of stress can bring out ways of coping that are not useful or helpful, they can surface old wounds and patterns that are painful. Take the time and space you need to take care of yourself. Whether you just need to work on the anxiety related to your life right now or you want to finally get to the roots of "stuck" patterns, this is a good time to start.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I enjoy helping individuals uncover and get connected to who they really are. I truly believe that each person is their own best expert in their life. I use Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused, and Narrative techniques to help people get connected to their own values and set themselves on a path to live the fulfilling life that they want to live. I find that we often need to uncover conditioned beliefs that have been instilled by culture and family systems that don't align with our true selves.

The thought of going to therapy can be overwhelming and scary, but it doesn't have to be. As your therapist, I will hold a safe space for you, free from judgement and provide plenty of support. This will be a place where you can heal from past traumas and/or present issues that are making you feel stuck. I will meet you where you are and only take you where you want to go. I have over eight years of experience in both mental health and hospital settings. I started my career as an ER Social Worker at CHOC and most recently was with the County of Orange providing psychological evaluations for suicidal and homicidal minors.
