Family Therapy in Riverside, CA

I view therapy as one of the different and many ways we can attend to and take care of ourselves. My approach to therapy begins by getting to know the individual from the start and then building a plan together. I think people are the experts of their stories and the challenges they face and can rarely be understood without considering the environment they are in or have come from. With this knowledge and framework, I aim to get to know people and their strengths while identifying their unique needs and goals. I incorporate approaches from Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and Family Systems.

What happens when your vocation routinely requires you to be there at someone else's worst moment of their life? What happens when you cannot shake the day off when you come home? Who can you reach out to when you give all you can and it never seems to be enough for the people you're trying to help, your boss, or your family when you are home? How did a "career" become your life and the highs and lows seem to define your worth? Healthy processing of traumatic events and their proper placement in your life can help you realign thinking patterns, release negativity, and reclaim joy.

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.

I offer support, reorganizing, and reimagining life for those coping with chronic illness, dementia, and losses of all kinds. If you need help getting through grief that's what I do.

Finding our strengths is an intangible but important part of living. We may find strength from relationships, growing opportunities, self awareness and devoting our energy to values we consider more important than ourselves. In entering therapy, the client's relationship with the therapist can be a step in finding that strength. I specialize in adults, either in individual therapy or with the partner. I also have experience in family therapy involving teenagers and young adults. I have experience in anger management, grief, work related stress and problems of isolation.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist graduate student at Alliant International University.

Each of us has a unique story, shaped by diverse experiences and backgrounds. For some of us, our story can involve troubling and even traumatic experiences, such as abuse, neglect, violence, or significant loss. These experiences can leave us with symptoms like anxiety, depression, emotional numbness, or difficulty forming and maintaining relationships. What we need most is a space that is healthy, safe, and non-judgmental to explore and process our story. Understanding how trauma affects the brain and body can help us normalize our experiences and reduce self-blame. This welcomes a foundation for healing.

As you journey through life, you may find yourself in difficult times that may cause confusion, anxiety, or depression. You may experience difficulty with your spouse or partner, a child or teen, phase of life changes, or the loss of a loved one. It is during these times that you may need someone to talk to and to walk with you, to listen non-judgmentally, compassionately and with understanding - instilling hope and healing. My hope is to help you find your strengths, and have a deeper understanding of your gifts.

I believe that it is through the relationship with a caring and competent psychotherapist that clients experience emotional recovery and growth. I focus on the "here and now" in helping clients develop strategies to solve problems. Some clients come to therapy because they want to make significant and long-lasting changes in their lives; they want to change patterns of behavior that have not met their needs well in the past. I work to help these clients identify difficulties in how they cope with and solve problems and to develop new coping skills.
