"Creating and Maintaining Healthy Family relationships"
During the past two years I worked and managed clients who have struggled, or were continuing to struggle, with substance abuse disorder combined with other mental diagnoses such as depression, bipolar, anxiety and PTSD. While working with co-occurring population in an outpatient setting, I was fortunate enough to have been exposed to several ethnic backgrounds which has helped me understand the differences and has allowed me to provide higher quality therapy, with the goal of maintaining sobriety and preventing relapse. I will help you gain and learn helpful coping skills, better communication skills, and learn to set healthy relationship boundaries. In addition to working with individuals, I also work with couples, families, and adolescence. I am passionate about creating and maintaining a healthy family relationship. I truly enjoy working with couples who need help establishing healthy and effective communication between partners, those who have experienced infidelity within their relationship, and other marital and relationship struggles. I use Emotion Focused-Therapy (EFT) and CBT to help couples and families overcome the struggles that are causing the disconnection and conflict within the household. I approach therapy from a systemic view where I look at the whole system and work with the individual and the couple from a systemic lens.

First, A wise man once said that a leader is only as good as their followers.
It is my mission to help and support as many people as possible. I have a passion for life and self actualization, and I strive to find the good in people. Through the Graduate Program where I earned my Masters degree in Counseling & Psychology, there has been two quotes that stick with me. As a collegiate athlete, I learned that I wanted to be a leader. After the opportunity of making team captain, I learned what it takes to be a leader. Through my athletic experience I noticed that not many people who wanted to become leaders, became them. Life challenges, trauma, mental health, abuse, natural disasters, death, and many more, all get in the way of people's goals and dreams. I believe that it takes a village to get through such tough times in life. Helping others develop a desire for growth, or to strive to fulfill their goals, is what I love to do the most. I have served in multiple counties of Southern California, and I have experienced what some of these challenges look like. My experience is working with couples, individual adults and children, re-unification, anger management, and co-parenting. As I continue to grow the population I work with, I also plan to grow personally, because a leader is only as good as its followers. Let me help you become the leader of your life.

“Trauma creates change you cannot choose. Healing is about creating change You Can Choose!”- Michelle Rosenthal
We all have the power of choice. It is a gift. But that power is often left untapped, and we become reactors to our lives, to our circumstances. Living a life of reaction leaves us powerless. Recognizing and taking ownership of our choices is the pathway to real life, to thriving. Although it’s a good thing to survive the difficult and painful stuff that happens in our lives, to go from survive to thrive is far better. It’s a powerful way to live. As a relational therapist with a Christian worldview, I will help educate, enlighten, and empower you to experience whole-life transformation, MIND, BODY, and SOUL. I offer a unique mix of real-world experience from a professional life and my clinical training. I combine these perspectives, enabling you to enhance your life in a new way. I help clients of all ages with issues stemming from trauma, managing anxiety and depression, navigating life transitions, employ healthy boundaries, effectively communicate their needs, and a wide range of other mental health needs. I help clients reveal blockages to their growth and provide strategies for true change. I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families heal from past trauma that negatively impact their lives and relationships. I feel honored when people share their life’s story with me. My desire is to help lead people to inner healing, transformation, and wholeness. It would be a privilege to walk along side of you in this journey.
