Stockton has been going through some trouble recently. In 2008, thanks to the recession, it filed for bankruptcy. It took them until 2015 for them to get out of bankruptcy. In life, mistakes happen and disasters can strike. One must be mentally prepared to face bankruptcy or any other challenge that comes their way. 

A counselor based in Stockton can make sure you have enough preparation to face any crisis, be it financial or mental. Always being prepared is a good way to go, because we can never prevent a crisis with 100 percent certainty.

There are seasons in life that are very unpredictable, 2020 for example! If you are finding that the last few months, weeks, maybe even years have been full of overwhelming amounts of change, transition and uncertainty, your are not alone.

My goal is to assist you with getting to the heart of the issues you are enduring, while embracing the resiliency and strength it took for you to make it this far. Emotional healing and relief is near. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & trauma and abuse. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey. I specialize in trauma-informed care and practice a modality called Brainspotting. Brainspotting is a modality that focuses on healing the brain and the body. I also specialize in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is a modality that is utilized when working with couples. Racial and religious traumas cause dysregulation in our bodies, minds, and hearts. Many of my clients have been touched by the Department of Social Services & affected by the foster care system and the church universal. Sessions often focus on past trauma, triggers, attachment issues, affects of transracial adoptions, addictions, and substance abuse.
