Enough is Enough: Find Healing and Guidance with a Mental Health Professional
The way you’re feeling right now doesn’t align with who you truly are, and you’ve reached a point where you’ve had enough of feeling out of control. Maybe a part of you believes that you should have all the answers and know what to do, considering how far you’ve come in life.
But here’s the best part: You don’t have to face this alone anymore.
If you’re still reading, it’s not because my words have captivated you, but because you’re seeking healing and you’re ready to take the necessary steps.
I understand that life doesn’t come to a halt just because we feel “off.” Over time, you may have developed coping mechanisms to get through the tough times. You may have even convinced yourself to brush it off, push through, and be grateful for what you have. But now, it’s time to try something new.
Consider exploring cognitive behavioral therapy and seeking support from a mental health professional. This approach can provide you with the guidance and tools you need to navigate your challenges and regain control over your well-being. Together, we can work towards understanding and transforming those thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve you.
Remember, you don’t have to endure this alone anymore. Reach out, take that first step, and let’s embark on the journey towards healing and self-discovery. You deserve it.

Therapy Will Unleash Your Strengths and Embrace Change
Well, it’s not simply a matter of showing up and expecting magic to happen. Therapy requires effort, dedication, and commitment. But let me assure you, the rewards are absolutely worth it.
You possess a multitude of strengths that have carried you through the ups and downs of life. My role as your therapist is to shine a light on those strengths and guide you in utilizing them once again.
Throughout our sessions, you can expect to engage in homework assignments, be confronted with challenging questions, and learn skills that may initially feel unfamiliar or peculiar. However, I urge you to trust the process, because it’s often the subtle changes and small steps that lead to the most profound transformations.
Therapy is an incredible journey of self-discovery and personal growth. Together, we will navigate this path, uncover your inner strengths, and embrace the opportunities for change that lie ahead. With open-mindedness, commitment, and my guidance, you can unlock your potential and create positive shifts in your life.
So, if you’re ready to embark on this transformative journey, let’s begin. Together, we will navigate the challenges, celebrate your strengths, and empower you to embrace the changes you desire.
My Passion for Helping People
For me, therapy is not just a job, it’s a calling – a deep drive to help people transform their lives and discover their true potential.
With a background in serving in the military, working in hospitals, county mental health, school settings, and group practices, I have gained invaluable experience in working with individuals seeking personal growth and fulfillment.
I understand that life can be tough, and we all face unique challenges that can sometimes limit our potential. But with kindness and compassion towards ourselves, we can overcome these obstacles and discover our true strength and resilience.
Through therapy, I seek to empower my clients to take control of their lives, build positive relationships, and pursue their goals and dreams. Together, we will explore your unique needs, identify your strengths, and work towards creating positive shifts in your life.
So, if you’re looking for a passionate therapist who will guide you on a journey of growth, kindness, and empowerment, I’m here for you. Let’s work together towards creating a fulfilling and meaningful life.

How My Diverse Training and Experience Can Support You
With my extensive training and experience, I am well-equipped to assist you on your journey towards healing and growth.
In 2018, I earned dual Masters degrees from Azusa Pacific University – one in Clinical Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy, and the other in Professional Clinical Counseling. I hold licenses as a Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor.
Recognizing that each individual is unique, I believe in tailoring my approach to suit your specific needs. That’s why I have received training in various therapeutic modalities, including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (tf- cbt), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Gottman Level I, Emotionally Focused Therapy Level 1, Theraplay Therapy, Sand-tray Therapy, and Non-directive Play Therapy.
These diverse trainings have allowed me to work effectively with individuals, couples, and children from diverse cultural backgrounds. Additionally, I am currently working towards full certification as an Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapist. It’s worth mentioning that I am also a trained Emergency Medical Technician (EMT).
Above all, I find joy in forming meaningful connections with others and witnessing their growth. I believe in the power of laughter and strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for my clients.
If you’re seeking a qualified and compassionate therapist who values your unique journey, I am here to support you. Let’s embark on this process together and work towards a brighter future.
When I’m not doing therapy…
As a therapist, I recognize the importance of work-life balance, I actively strive to honor all aspects of my life. This mindset, though not always present, led me to a pivotal “aha” moment that transformed my approach.
One of my favorite ways to unwind and connect with loved ones is by focusing on quality family time. Whether it’s watching anime/movies, hitting the gym and lifting weights, or immersing myself in the world of Jiu-Jitsu, these pastimes bring me immense joy. As a Brooklyn native now living in California, I am grateful for the rich array of activities this state has to offer.
Every now and then, I go on leisurely walks with my dog (cardio and I are not friends), and appreciate the beautiful scenery of California’s many trails.
Why therapy rocks!
Therapy truly rocks, and I embrace my bias in saying so. Witnessing individuals embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth is an incredibly rewarding experience that I feel honored to be a part of.
In today’s fast-paced world, many people find themselves living on autopilot, going through the motions without truly connecting with themselves or others. It’s truly remarkable when someone like yourself walks through the therapy door with a desire for change. It takes courage and a genuine commitment to personal growth.
Welcome, let’s rock this journey together!
