I bring a wealth of experience from my work in child welfare for nearly 10 years, which has shaped me into a deeply trauma-informed practitioner. Over the years, I have supported clients of all ages and walks of life, including individuals facing complex socioeconomic stressors and diverse life circumstances. I am comfortable working with a wide range of mental health concerns, from mood disorders like anxiety and depression to more complex personality-based struggles. No matter your background or the challenge you are facing, I offer a stable, professional, and non-judgmental presence designed to help you process your experiences and move toward a healthier future.

I believe that therapy is a partnership, and my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel truly heard. As a licensed clinical social worker, I specialize in supporting individuals as they navigate life’s transitions, stress, and anxiety. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based practices, primarily utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and a client-centered perspective to help you develop practical tools for your daily life. I am dedicated to working alongside you to build on your existing strengths, foster resilience, and help you create the change you are seeking. You don’t have to navigate these challenges alone; I invite you to reach out so we can start this work together.

I have found a calling that allows me to bring my full self – head, heart, and soul – to my work.

I found this calling after a fulfilling career in social services. In addition to working as a teacher, program manager, policy advocate, and peer counselor, I have also married, raised a family, coached youth sports, and pursued mindful self-care, creativity, and personal growth.

I earned my Bachelor’s in English from Harvard and my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right addiction counselor for you

Headway makes it easier to find support for overcoming addiction — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fontana

Finding addiction therapists in Fontana starts with identifying the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and related concerns like anxiety or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people may also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.

Fontana has local therapy options, and virtual appointments can expand your search across California when the right local fit has limited availability. Recovery can involve progress, setbacks, and changing goals, so it helps to find a therapist who describes a nonjudgmental approach and experience with addiction care. As you compare therapists in Fontana, consider appointment times, whether they are accepting new patients, and how they structure sessions. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, approach to substance use concerns, and experience with the type of support you want.

Therapy in Fontana can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and offers upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:

* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
