Our therapists offer christian counseling in Riverside, CA

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families find healthy ways to cope, communicate, and thrive. I work with those navigating stress, anxiety, family transitions, cultural identity concerns, adjustment, depression, or relationship struggles. Many of my clients seek to manage overwhelming emotions, heal from past experiences, and build confidence. As a Christian and a minority, I bring a perspective grounded in faith, resilience, and cultural understanding, creating an affirming space for clients who value the integration of their beliefs in the healing process.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Widener University. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and strength-based practices, while incorporating creative tools like play therapy and expressive activities. 

I know that seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to walk this path on your own. As a Christian, I believe in the power of hope, healing, and renewal, and I strive to create a space where faith and therapy can work hand in hand. If you’re ready to take the next step, it would be my honor to walk with you on this journey.

I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 2 years of experience providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing concerns such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, mood disorders, insomnia, and suicidal ideation. I value building strong therapeutic relationships and approach care with respect, empathy, and a whole-person perspective.

I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Western University of Health Sciences. My approach integrates evidence-based medication management with trauma-informed care, clinical experience, and thoughtful observation. I value interdisciplinary collaboration and work closely with clients to develop treatment plans aligned with their needs and goals.

I believe healing is a collaborative process that honors both the mind and body. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Together, we will work toward stability, growth, and improved well-being at a pace that feels right for you.
