About My Clients

Do you feel stuck or hopeless about a problem in your life? Is anxiety making you feel overwhelmed? Does depression keep you from enjoying life? Do you feel pressure that your life "should" look a certain way? Trying to live up to other people's expectations or even our own can be exhausting. I am interested in gaining a fuller understanding about the issues you are facing and how you prefer your life to be.

My Background and Approach

In addition to my private practice, I supervise and teach graduate students at the Miracle Mile Community Practice, I have also served as Faculty in the Masters Counseling Program at Cal State University San Bernardino, and I have been a part of a research team and my work has been published in the Journal of Contemporary Narrative Therapy. I work from a postmodern feminist lens, meaning I am curious about your background, your unique identities, and the things you give value to. I am compassionate and non-judgmental with my clients. Through our sessions, we can identify the issues you are up against, map out how they are affecting your life, and develop ways to confront them and make meaningful and sustainable changes. Together, we can establish goals and figure out ways to move towards them. We will build off of your strengths and abilities. If you are interested, I can also provide mindfulness practices to support you in your journey.
