Female Therapists in Temecula, CA

Accepting new clients- Are you struggling with unwanted emotions, behaviors, and beliefs, causing you to feel unhappy, unfulfilled, or anxious? Struggling to regulate your emotions after a traumatic event, a break-up, or problems in your current relationship? The truth is time does not heal all wounds. It’s human to want to avoid and just get rid of the pain. At the same time, the way to resolve the pain is to give it your attention and work through it. This is the hardest part and trying to do this alone will most likely leave you feeling defeated. Like many people struggling with emotional pain, you may not have the best support.

MY APPROACH TO THERAPY IS TO PROVIDE AN OPEN AND NON-JUDGING ENVIRONMENT SO YOU CAN EXPRESS YOURSELF FREELY. Therapy needs to be customized to fit your needs.

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." This Emerson quote resonates with me because although people have endured very painful events in their lives and may face difficult days ahead, the strength of the human spirit never ceases to amaze me with its resiliency. When people enter into treatment, I consider it a privilege to help them through difficult times in their lives. Whether the problem is a personal, marital, or parenting difficulty, I meet them where they are at and work alongside them to increase awareness, personal empowerment, and life satisfaction.

High-achieving women often face the challenge of balancing a demanding career with a fulfilling marriage and effective parenting.

As a mother of three with over 24 years of marriage and 10 plus years of experience, owner of Outside The Norm Counseling, and host of the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast, I am dedicated to helping you build a lasting legacy for your family.

Hey there! Deciding to start the journey of therapy is something people come to for so many reasons. To heal trauma. To grieve. To vent. To find the way through a huge life transition. To discover who they are. To learn better ways to cope. To find a way to become un-stuck when things just aren’t working. It is about sitting through feelings in a safe space where you can develop new patterns and experience emotional wellness and healing. I practice from a variety of theoretical frameworks, drawing on aspects of Cognitive-Behavioral and Psychodynamic approaches through a trauma-informed lens.

In life individuals and families will experience difficult and challenging events that lead to confusion, frustration, and grief. These emotions if not managed properly could interfere with one's ability to manage their personal and professional life in a healthy manner. My desire is to help find a "Renewed Hope" for your situation. I will walk along side you and your family, providing encouragement and guidance, as you work towards positive change and growth.

Anxiety, trauma, transition, change can be overwhelming, hijacking your life, leaving you indecisive, sick, avoiding what you fear, not present. But it can also be a call to action. You have one life. You are here for a reason. Become who you are meant to be: Self Actualize. I offer a collaborative (powerful) process that helps you access what is essential within yourself and to bring that forward for positive self-growth, greater connectedness, and more clarity around living the truest, most beautiful life you can imagine.

Life is relationship. People come to therapy because their relationships seem strained: You feel misunderstood by your partner, fights increasing, the distance between you growing. You're not on the same page parenting the kids. There are fewer "good times." You feel alone. You crave a renewing, loving relationship, more family harmony. Perhaps you have not succeeded in creating the fulfilling relationship you desire and suffer in its absence, flying solo- anxious, depressed, bored. Can't relax, overwhelmed by your job. The therapeutic work we do together can help you overcome these challenges, building more satisfying, loving relationships, a better fitting life.
