Find a Therapist in Murrieta, CA

What typically brings one to seek a therapist is a crisis of some kind, whether it be personal, spiritual, or professional. And of course, there is therapeutic value in acquiring support and guidance in a safe and confidential way. However, therapy can offer so much more than learning healthy coping mechanisms, improving communication skills, and gaining a deeper understanding of oneself. It is my personal belief that our deepest desires come from a yearning for individual wholeness, a form of consciousness that comes from the depths of our psyche; a process which is completely unique for each individual. The only way to expand consciousness is by exploring our unconscious world and the best and really the only way to do that is through dream work. Psyche intends for us to expand consciousness, to bring to fruition our fullest self, and the only method it has to communicate with us is through symbols. Understanding the meaning of the specific symbols the psyche has provided to you in dreams is the core of my work. It is through the insights gained from interpreting the symbol of the dream that we can embark on a journey that Carl Gustav Jung named the individuation process. So, despite what initially brings you to my practice should you decide, it is a privilege to be entrusted with the personal and private inner workings of your individual psyche. This work is sacred, and it is my promise to provide a safe space for your unconscious content to unfold and reveal the gift of individual consciousness to your higher Self.

As a therapist, I meet clients where they are emotionally to create a therapeutic bond and assist clients on their journey to inner and outer happiness. Counseling can be an amazing journey within a great therapeutic relationship if clients are willing to do meaningful work. My approach is eclectic, as I draw on a variety of theoretical orientations to help clients reach their truths. In my coaching or consultant role, I assist clients in their pursuit of greater success in their career or life goals by focusing on areas of importance, helping clarify action steps to reach these goals, and providing weekly accountability for their success.

Together we will walk through your growth, always providing the safety and support that your healing requires.

I provide scheduling flexibility and off-the-clock support (such as email check-ins throughout the week) as a way of meeting my clients where they are and solidifying a firm therapeutic relationship as you move through your healing. Together we will brainstorm coping activities and tools geared towards your specific needs. I have a firm belief that psychoeducation, or learning about one’s own psychology, is an integral part of the healing process. Together we will utilize psychoeducation and the individualized coping skills needed for you to transform your life.

As a neurodivergent-affirming and culturally responsive therapist, I support individuals and couples navigating complex intersectional identities. Whether you're in a mixed-neurotype relationship with communication challenges, an LGBTQ+ couple seeking affirming care, or a BIPOC individual experiencing microaggressions, I see beyond mainstream approaches that often miss your unique experience. You deserve care that honors your cultural background, neurotype, gender expression, and authentic relationship patterns. Imagine therapy where your experiences aren't pathologized, your sensory needs are accommodated, and your relationship structure is respected. Healing happens when you're truly seen. Whether rebuilding intimacy after trauma or finding language for your complex experience, I'd be honored to support your journey toward authentic connection.
