Eclectic Therapists in San Dimas, CA

Welcome! Do you have a particular life obstacle you are trying to overcome? Perhaps you have been feeling down or anxious, maybe you feel “stuck” and overwhelmed with stress of life. Seeking help from a clinician can help put things into perspective and learn new skills to manage these feelings. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. We work collaboratively, to identify what you seek from therapy, develop a plan, and help you meet your goals.

I am a bilingual clinical social worker licensed in California, I have over 15 years of experience providing mental health counseling services to individuals, couples and families. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable environment where you can identify your emotions, process, and verbalize your needs in an appropriate setting while learning and implementing effective coping techniques. While practicing feedback informed treatment I maintain a client centered environment and work collaboratively to ensure your treatment needs are met.

During the seasons of life, we encounter various barriers, bumps, ditches and forks in the road that lead us in different directions leaving us feeling disconnected, stressed, anxious, depressed, confused and frustrated. As your therapist, my goal is to empower and collaboratively help you heal, resolve and work through issues, identify and explore your strengths and help you to reconnect with yourself and others in the way you envision. I offer a place that is welcoming, friendly, empathetic, supportive, nonjudgmental and safe in order for you to explore and discuss the issues that are impacting you and your life.

Courage is the power to let go of the familiar, if it’s no longer serving your needs. If you are here, you are ready to explore areas in your life that may need changes to meet your needs and improve the quality of your life and relationships. I have 20 years clinical experience working with children, young adults and adults in outpatient community mental health settings dealing with various issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment to changes, parenting and relationship challenges.

Life is tough and no one teaches us how to do relationships or prepares us for the unending seasonal changes in and around us. I am a changed person myself and that's why I believe in the power of personal change. When you decide it is time to make those changes and take ownership of your future, there is hope for better things. I am also the father of four young adult children and enjoy supporting parents as they raise and launch their children. I will be honored if you allow me to accompany you on this journey.

Don't go another day with your pain. Perhaps you have reached a point in your life in which something has to change; the sadness, anger, confusion or depression have become too great a burden to carry. Perhaps you have been a victim of profound brokenness and long for healing and a brighter future.

At some point in our lives, we may face challenges, overwhelming decisions to make or we just need an impartial person to help us process our experiences. These are just a few reasons why people seek therapy and I provide a supportive, non-judgmental and encouraging approach to helping others become better versions of themselves. I encourage my clients to be active participants in therapy and be open to engaging in the process of change. My aim is to help you develop a stronger and healthier sense of self and understand that you do have the capacity to grow and move forward.
