Parenting & Couples Therapist in Murrieta & Across CA
Rediscover Yourself and Your Relationship
its exhausting to feel like you’re always falling short.
Chances are, you’ve mastered the art of “should-ing” yourself.
I should be a better parent.
I should be more patient.
I should be a better partner.
I should have this figured out.
But all those “shoulds” don’t make you a calmer parent or a happier partner. They just leave you exhausted and disconnected from yourself.
You don’t have to stay stuck there. it is possible to feel more confident and clear in your parenting and more connected to your partner.
What If You Tried Something Different?
Imagine feeling more calm and compassionate toward yourself. Imagine feeling confident asking for what you need without guilt — trusting that it actually makes you a stronger parent and partner.
Imagine feeling grounded and confident in who you are and how you show up as a parent and partner regardless of what society says or tells you.
That isn’t a far-off dream.
It’s possible when you have the right support and a safe space to practice new ways of thinking, communicating, and showing up.
How I Work
I don’t want to be your forever therapist.
My goal isn’t to keep you in therapy for years — it’s to help you learn, grow, and take those skills with you into real life.
Here’s what that looks like:
Authenticity over perfection. You can leave the “shoulds” at the door. This is a space to show up as you are.
Tailored therapy. Every couple and parent is unique. I adapt treatment plans to your goals, not a cookie-cutter formula.
I’ll laugh with you, support you, and when needed, lovingly call you out so you can move forward.
Evidence-based tools. As a couples therapist I draw on the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and other proven approaches — adapted to fit your life.
