I believe some of the strongest people are the ones carrying burdens that nobody else can see.

As an Army veteran, husband, father, and therapist, I understand that life can ask a lot of us. Many of the people I work with have spent years being the dependable one, the problem solver, or the person everyone else leans on. From the outside, they may appear to be doing fine. On the inside, they are exhausted, overwhelmed, or struggling to make sense of experiences that continue to affect them long after they happened.

My role is not to tell you how to live your life. It is to help you better understand yourself, identify what is getting in the way, and build practical tools for moving forward.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR-trained trauma therapist who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and personal growth. I provide therapy in both English and Spanish and strive to create a space where clients feel respected, supported, and challenged in ways that promote meaningful change.

Sometimes a thoughtful conversation with the right person can make all the difference. As an experienced therapist, husband, and father, I bring both professional training and real-life wisdom to help people navigate life’s challenges. Over many years of both life and clinical work, I’ve had the privilege of helping people move through difficult seasons, gain clarity, and reconnect with their strengths. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you’re returning after time away, it’s normal to feel uncertain. Our first conversation is simply a starting point. I often work with people facing life transitions, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, seeking clarity and a practical path forward. Together, we’ll slow things down, understand what’s happening, and identify steps that help move you forward. If you are going through a difficult season, you don't have to navigate it alone.

What if the goal isn’t to silence your thoughts, but to understand them? Anxiety, stress, ADHD, relationship challenges, or painful experiences from the past can leave you feeling stuck, even when you’re doing everything you can to move forward. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with teens and adults to create a warm, supportive space where you can better understand yourself, build practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and reminded that you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone.

Most of us aren't born knowing how to navigate relationships, understand our emotions, or process trauma. Many things influence how we react and behave, but that doesn't mean we can't grow. My goal is to help you build confidence through discovering your self-worth and practicing self-compassion. My priority is creating a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable. I show up as my authentic self to build trust with you. I'm an empathetic listener and communicate in a calm, gentle, respectful way. My job isn't to tell you what to do, but to help you process and explore topics to build self-awareness and confidence.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Menifee, CA

Searching for therapists in Menifee starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. If you are considering marriage counseling in Menifee, CA, look for a therapist with experience supporting couples, such as a licensed marriage and family therapist or someone trained in couples therapy approaches. Reading therapist bios can help you see which concerns they list, how they describe their style, and what you can expect in a first session.

Menifee is a smaller city, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of Riverside County. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while keeping care tied to your schedule, location, and preferences. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether they are accepting new patients. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their communication style and whether their approach feels like a practical fit before you book.

Therapy in Menifee can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare options based on specialty, availability, and session format. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
