Lesbian Therapists in Riverside, CA

Over the last 16 years, I have helped people with a wide range of problems. My services are ideal for those struggling with depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationship issues, career obstacles, grief and loss, life transitions, and the demands and challenges of everyday life. In therapy we examine thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that aren’t working and identify more adaptive or functional responses that help you to adjust to life's changes. If you are looking for a therapist in Ca I am a Licensed psychologist providing individual psychotherapy virtually using a HIPAA compliant video conferencing platform.

Do you feel helpless, stressed or overwhelmed? Do you have flashbacks to things that are hard to forget or forgive? Do you focus on your weaknesses rather than your competence and strengths? Would like to improve your communication skills? My vision for your well being, is a therapy plan which focuses on your strengths through solutions (Solution Focused Therapy). Based on what has worked for you in the past, personal and relationship issues are improved by focusing on solutions. Identifying your existing strengths helps to resolve your current difficulties. Our vision is to instill hope by exploring your possibilities.

Are you feeling overwhelmed in life? Are there concerns you’re facing in your relationship? Do you experience significant anxiety or depression? Have you experienced trauma? If so, I can help!

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.

I meet you where you are. Whether you are feeling sad or happy, I work with you to process the emotion at your pace. Taking a client-centered approach to treatment, I encourage you to lead your progress in therapy. I have performed thousands of hours of therapy with people that were seeking a healthy transformation in their own life and in their relationships (marriage/couples/parent and child). We all experience challenges; I would like to help you attain clarity, support, and the confidence to address and heal from your individual challenges.

Welcome! You have taken the first step into discovering the importance of your mental well-being. Life is filled with unexpected challenges and often we have difficulty facing them. This is where having a safe space and a non-judgmental therapeutic environment can assist with your journey towards increased wellness. My specialties are Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, and Workplace/Caregiver Stressors.

Your life is impacted by many things. Your individual family history and your unique life experiences influence how you see yourself and interact with others. You may find yourself overwhelmed, confused, and unable to change behavior. Your previous ways of coping no longer work, yet you don't have the tools to make any changes. The good news is that things can change for the better. You have the power within you, with professional help and guidance, to make life- altering changes. I provide a lot of feedback and things to think about. I ask questions that elicit changes in perceptions and result in insight that moves you forward.

I believe that each person has a specific path to travel and that, at the end of the day, what we most desire is to leave a meaningful legacy, sweetly remembered by those we love. My heartfelt goal in counseling is to help you find your purpose and significance in life and essentially discover how your path is influenced by your history, family, and community. I realize that these relationships can be difficult and my personal goal for therapy is to walk beside you in an attempt to maintain a healthy balance of all that life brings.

One of the most challenging aspects of life is developing and maintaining good and healthy relationships. If you are having difficulties in relationships with a spouse, child, parent, or sibling you are not alone. You may think communication is the source of your problems, but the cause is often much deeper than that.

Deciding to come to therapy can be a very difficult decision. In the last 12 years of practicing, I've found that meeting my clients where they are is the most important part of my job.
