Therapists serving clients in Murrieta, CA

Hello! Good for you reaching out for support today. You are taking a big, worthwhile step! I've been practicing for over 23 years in Sunny Southern California working with adult individuals and couples. My experience is working with mild issues and symptoms around stress, anxiety and feelings of sadness, life transitions and career issues, grief and relationship issues, focusing more on the present and moving forward. I provide a safe space to explore and process the feelings and issues you are experiencing. It's not about getting rid of your feelings but rather learning how to manage them in a more healthy way; learning how to have your thoughts and feelings work together rather than against each other! It's usually best to work through your issues rather than ignoring them or trying to push them aside. I want to help up you live a more joyful life and experience fulfilling relationships. My style would be best described as eclectic. It's based loosely on the foundation of cognitive-behavioral theories and then adapts to each person's unique needs utilizing my experience, empathy and compassion to help you move forward in life. I find that weekly phone calls are the most beneficial with the option of brief messaging in-between appointments if you like. Please do not make any appointments on the platform's calendar before we discuss it. Please note I don't work with EAP subscribers or those submitting bills to an insurance company For those subscribers that are interested, I also focus on the mind-body connection, which includes learning how to live more in the moment. Living more in the moment, rather than being stuck in the past or worried about the future, makes life all the more peaceful and joyful. Mind/body connection exercises for example, include deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation (tensing and releasing different muscle groups), guided imagery and mindful walking ( a more active form of meditation). All these exercises can help achieve the body's Relaxation Response - physically relaxed and mentally alert. It's what I like to call, "Calm Energy." Research has shown that the Relaxation Response helps in the Reduction of pain, stress, anxiety, fatigue, irritability as well as reducing blood pressure and the stress hormone levels in our bodies. It's been shown to help Increase energy, motivation, productivity and improve decision-making abilities. Although we won't be working face-to-face, you can still learn and benefit from these exercises through instructive emails and/or telephone sessions.

Are you feeling stuck, numb, or tired all the time? Is it becoming difficult to focus on work, family, friends, or even YOURSELF? Would you like to find a way to overcome this but don't know where to begin? I became a therapist because I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic process. Therapy is an invitation to attend to your feelings, become aware of the circumstances hidden behind those feelings and take back your power and with support from your therapist, move towards recovery and wholeness.

Hello ~ I am glad you are here! :) I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California since 2016. I believe our success in the ‘game’ of life is directly related to the quality of our relationships and the ability to establish and maintain, life long, healthy relationships. My experience extends to having worked with culturally diverse individuals, couples, and families of all ages, who are encountering life’s challenges. I have worked in both government settings and community mental health settings, helping clients to cope with and heal from such issues as chronic mental illness, substance abuse, homelessness, grief, and trauma. I have worked extensively, in the trenches of trauma with children and families involved in foster care system, and all the aspects that accompany this experience. I have experience helping couples develop communication skills and trust. My clinical background includes: completion of the Grief Share Recovery Program, being a Valley Trauma Center Advocate – working with clients in crisis due to sexual assault, Family Advantage Counseling Services, and volunteer counseling for the student population of Los Angeles Unified School District. I am currently pursuing certification in becoming a Life Coach. I was blessed to have maintained a therapeutic private practice from 2016 until 2019, during which time I provided supportive services primarily to teenagers, and young children, using ‘play’ therapy. I use a combination of Psychoanalytic Theory, Family Systems Theory, Narrative Therapy, Experiential Therapy, CBT, and Solution Focused Therapy to help clients identify and problem solve challenging issues. Additionally, I believe in the benefits of deep breathing, yoga, pilates and any other exercises that can bring one back to their ‘center’. I incorporate elements of meditation, and mindfulness into my clinical work. I feel I have helped individuals build awareness of self, resilience through difficult issues, inner strength, and a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit. My goal is to get YOU to be the best “YOU” you can be, because I believe in PURPOSE. We all have one! YOU are here to identify your purpose, live it out, pay it forward, and be ready to help the next one………..

I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker in the state of Ohio with a Master of Social Work Degree from the University of Louisville and four-years post graduate professional experience. After graduating with my master's, I began working in community mental health as a level three treatment specialist and coordinating care between physicians and clients of various ages, genders, sexuality, ethnicities, issues, and level of functioning. For the past two and a half years, I have been working in a private practice setting where I gain more experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationships issues, family issues, grief, adjustment and phase of life issues, and issues of faith and spirituality. I have over 30 hours of training in providing teletherapy and am a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider with experience using video and text therapy. My therapeutic style is person-centered and often solution focused while incorporating a cognitive behavioral approach. Past clients have described delivery of therapy as warm, empathic, and down-to-earth, which I believe nurtures a safe and relaxing environment for individuals to identify their thoughts and feelings, as well as gain insight into their issues and solutions to help them resolve issues. It is my belief that even though it is hard to do at times, I believe one of the best methods of healing is to talk and let it all out – all of the hurt, all of the sadness, all of the things that get buried within – and therapy is one of the safest places to do that. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for adults and couples to reveal, feel, and heal their thoughts and emotions and gain insight and support during difficult times.
