Find a Therapist in California AP

Hello & Welcome. My name is Amy, and congratulations for turning curiosity into action toward your healing journey!

I am here to provide you with a safe, open space to deeply explore all the parts & versions of you so you can begin to live the life you desire. Together, let's discover your strengths, weaknesses, and everything in between to help you feel confident in your ability to navigate through where you are and what you're going through.

I believe that if life guarantees anything, it is that we will experience change, challenges, and pain just as much as we do joy, happiness, and contentment. My goal is to empower you toward creating a version of yourself that is confident in your ability to navigate yourself throughout the vast waves of life in a healthy way. I strive to work with you to identify all the ways in which you are the authority of who you are, so we can create opportunities that help you achieve your healing goals.

My therapeutic approach is always client-centered, culturally responsive, and strength based, utilizing an array of interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Theory (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Feminist Therapy.

About Me: I'm from Whittier, CA and currently reside in Riverside County, CA. I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from California State University, Fullerton and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from National University.

In my life's work of helping others move along healing journeys of their own, I stay motivated by the idea of being able to ignite the healing of familial trauma on a generational level via working to heal one's own mind, body, and spirit. The journey of life is guaranteed to be a bumpy one, and I am dedicated to applying the best-fitting modalities to support you in wherever the road leads or has led you, so you can turn your pain into strength.

My dog Penny Lane, practicing yoga, being outside, and cooking up a good pot of soup are a few of my favorite things. I am one of four siblings and the eldest daughter in my family.
