My mission is to guide individuals through the complexities of trauma, depression, and anxiety, fostering awareness, creativity, and multicultural appreciation in a safe environment.

My approach involves getting to know each patient personally, understanding their goals, and collaboratively developing a treatment plan to address their unique needs.

With over a decade of experience as a California State University-San Bernadino faculty member, I specialize in the fundamentals of nursing, community health, and mental health in the Inland Empire.

I take a supportive approach in my practice, emphasizing respect and collaboration.

Hello, Nice to Meet you! - I bring a gentle and supportive perspective from time spent in several different settings within the mental-health field. I value every person’s journey as unique and know that trust is something that is earned in the therapeutic relationship.

I believe that therapy is most effective when clients are actively engaged in their own healing journey. My role is to offer guidance and create a nurturing space that fosters personal growth and self-discovery. I focus on empowering you to lead the way while providing the support you need. I have experience working with many populations, including homelessness, substance use, trauma, BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and elderly adults

My practice is focused on partnering with adults and elders to navigate and process the often inevitable trauma they encounter. I aim to cultivate a therapeutic environment that can hold both the most painful parts of life, and the most lovely...some levity here and there can’t hurt either. I have nothing but admiration for those who decide to come to therapy. This process can be unbearably hard, and even still, every day I witness powerful expansion in people as a result of the process.

Embracing change through psychotherapy, I offer a compassionate and supportive space for clients to embark on their journey toward recovery and understanding. I specialize in treating behavioral, alcohol, and substance addictions, helping individuals regain control and find balance in their lives.

I arrive to each session with authenticity and curiosity—psychological growth is a deep passion of mine that is integrated into all areas of my life. I integrate elements from various therapy frameworks, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to tailor treatment to each individual's needs. My work spans diverse communities, including the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities and individuals from various economic backgrounds.

I bring a rich background in clinical experience including work within community mental health, residential facilities, school-based services and private practice.

My therapeutic approach is warm and client-centric, focusing on bringing clarity to life's struggles and fostering a supportive environment.

In my practice, I utilize a strengths-based approach. I foster a therapeutic environment enriched with humor and empathy, nurturing trust and collaboration with my clients. I specialize in working within the whole human lifecycle, from age six to end of life. In working with individuals and families, we will focus on addressing the "stuck points" in your life that interfere with your connection with others; these can include big "T" and little "t" traumas, parenting, life adjustments, mood disorders, anxiety/panic, and relational stressors.
