I subscribe to cognitive behavioral therapy, emphasizing the rational behavioral therapy modality. I hold a doctorate (EdD) in counseling and educational psychology from the University of San Francisco, where I also earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. I earned a Master's in Divinity from the Franciscan School of Theology at the Graduate Theological Union. I have been practicing since 1987 and am a seasoned therapist.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California since 2008. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each client’s unique life story.
I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, health issues, and interpersonal relationship challenges, trauma, grief, aging, and end-of-life concerns. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, build resilience, and reconnect with their strengths while moving toward greater clarity, healing, and emotional balance.
Reaching out for help can be challenging for many. As psychotherapy aims at positive changes you desire, I am honored to provide a safe place for your self-exploration and reflection in which you can gain your inner peace and change you long for. Being specialized in trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse and domestic violence, I can offer some resolution in your trauma work. Trauma can penetrate not only your emotional well-being but also almost every facet of your life.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Moreno Valley starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Affirming providers are trained to understand the experiences of LGBTQIA+ individuals — from navigating identity and coming out to managing the effects of discrimination or family conflict. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something specific to your identity, choosing a provider with relevant experience can make a meaningful difference.
Moreno Valley is part of the broader Inland Empire, and the number of locally based LGBTQIA+-affirming providers may be limited compared to larger metro areas. Virtual sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed therapists across California who specialize in affirming care. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach, background, and whether they're a good match for your needs.
Therapy in Moreno Valley can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 2383 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
