Grief counselors and therapists in Colton, CA

I have a warm demeanor and am also able to challenge your beliefs or behaviors that are not serving you based on your needs and wants in life. I have been working in the mental health field for over 9 years and have worked in different levels of care such as inpatient psychiatric, outpatient clinics and individual therapy.

While depression & anxiety may be reasonable responses to your life experiences and the state of the world, that doesn't mean you have to suffer alone. You deserve support. I strive to create an environment where you can safely lean into difficult feelings and process your past and present without shame or judgment. We will work collaboratively to unpack the impact of systems, relationships, & intersectional identities (i.e. women of color, immigrant background, cultural stress) on your well-being. Together, we’ll explore healing as an act of empowerment & transformation.

I specialize in trauma-informed, integrative, holistic modalities. I specialize in supporting couples, women and femme-identified, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, highly sensitive, creatives/ artists, and alternative relationships/lifestyles. I specialize in ADHD, relationships and couples therapy, burnout, anxiety, self-confidence and empowerment, imposter syndrome, work-life balance, grief, life transitions, communication skills, boundary setting, career and identity goals, life coaching, and nature connection.

Perhaps you are visiting today to obtain answers to confusion, peace in the torment, clarity from the chaos, healing from the pain. Maybe you just want someone to understand your pain. You might be feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or hopeless. Whatever your reasoning may be, I am dedicated to help you achieve hope and healing. Thank you for taking the first step to work toward your personal healing journey.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with unique, down-to-earth mindfulness approaches to therapy. I emphasize awareness, acceptance, and a sense of humor in knowing and loving oneself. My therapeutic work integrates evidence-based modalities including Control Mastery Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and Buddhist psychology.
