A Little about me
I come to this work with a deep respect for the whole person. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in organizational change management, recovery coaching, and teaching — spaces where I learned to listen deeply, hold complexity, and support meaningful transformation. Across every role, my work has centered on seeing people in their wholeness and empowering them to become who they long to be. My superpower is presence: hearing what is spoken, and what lives just beneath the surface, quietly asking to be heard.
Why I Love to Serve
Since childhood, I have been aware of moments — and people — whose loving presence created a clear before and after in my life. Those experiences changed me. I love to serve because I know the peace and growth that come from being truly seen. In therapy, I offer that same grounded, empathic presence — a space where connection becomes the foundation for healing, growth, and authenticity.
Favorite Hobby
Hiking, writing, learning, reading, poetry, and being outside whenever possible. I love movement, dance parties, and playing with my kids — and I never pass up the chance to taste-test the best ice cream wherever I travel.
Favorite Animal
Orangutans — creative, intelligent, introspective, playful, and resourceful. And my dog, Ruby, who seems to know the soul of each member of our family.
What I Do in My Free Time
I spend as much time outside as possible — walking, hiking, or working out. I read, listen to audiobooks and podcasts, and love learning for learning’s sake. I make up silly games, play soccer, basketball, cornhole, and dance with my kids and friends. Every day, I take time to write, look at the sky, and say thank you.

A Little about me
I am a Marriage and Family Therapy Trainee at Loma Linda University, and I strive to provide a compassionate, culturally attuned space for individuals, couples, and families. I am especially passionate about supporting perinatal and postpartum mental health, maternal well-being, and the transition into parenthood. As a mother of two, I understand the emotional complexity of early parenthood and am dedicated to helping new parents feel supported and less alone.
I also enjoy working with couples to strengthen communication and foster deeper connection, as well as supporting transitional age youth navigating identity, expectations, and life transitions. As an immigrant and first-generation college student, I bring sensitivity to cultural dynamics and generational experiences.
I integrate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and relational, strengths-based approaches to help clients deepen emotional awareness and build healthier, more connected relationships.
Why I love to Serve
Coming from a culture where mental health is heavily stigmatized, I’ve learned how powerful empathy and emotional expression can be in building healthy relationships. I’m passionate about breaking cycles of multigenerational trauma and supporting underserved communities. Creating a safe, nonjudgmental space for people to process their feelings—rather than suppress them—is deeply important to me.
Favorite Hobby
I love learning new things, especially hands‑on crafts. I like to think of myself as a “Jane of all trades,” and my current project is learning how to sew.
Favorite Animal
Stingrays and manta rays have always been my favorite animals. I was once told that I embody the energy of a stingray—calm, grounded, and steady even when life around me feels chaotic. That description stuck with me, because stingrays symbolize emotional balance, intuition, and the ability to move gracefully through challenges.
They’re gentle creatures that glide quietly through the water, reminding me of the strength in staying composed and the power of responding rather than reacting. Their symbolism aligns with the way I try to show up for others: steady, empathetic, and attuned to the emotional currents beneath the surface.
What I do in my free time
In my free time, I love exploring San Diego—even though I grew up here, there’s always something new to discover. Most of my time is spent with my husband and our two boys, whether we’re walking by the lake, visiting children’s museums, or spending time with our extended family. I also enjoy unwinding by watching cooking videos and trying out new recipes I learn from them, especially Thai dishes.

A little about me:
I am a graduate student at Loma Linda University and truly love what I do as an MFT-in-training. I feel so blessed to live in beautiful San Diego and am excited to continue growing in my passion of mental health.
Why I love to serve:
Serving others is an incredible honor. I learn so much from my clients and their stories, continually and collaboratively being reminded to serve in humility and love.
"Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in various forms." 1 Peter 4:10
Favorite Hobby:
I love exploring new coffee shops, spending time camping or hiking, and being immersed in nature whenever I can. I am always excited to learn new skills, whether its practicing guitar, gardening, crochet, or sports.
Favorite Animal:
As a child, my favorite animal was a bobcat. These days, I am drawn to gentle giants like horses and elephants. To me, they represent both strength and tenderness.
What I do in my free time:
As a grad student, a lot of my free time goes into studying, but I also make sure to make space for self-care (its so important!!!). Some self-care activities I enjoy are crafting, thrifting, and working out (also napping, I love a good nap).
Bre Lewandowski | Trainee
A little about me:
Previously, I worked in the food and agriculture industry for over a decade and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, a few years into my career, I felt God was calling me to something more. Various life experiences shaped how I started to understand loss and grief. In a very profound way, I began to acknowledge that we cannot deprive people of their grief and that it is one of the noblest of human sentiments. As I began my healing journey, I found myself experiencing deep fulfillment and purpose through a “ministry of presence.”
Why I love to serve:
Once I uncovered a longstanding desire God was developing in my heart to be an instrument of His healing, it was clear that the helping profession was the route I was being called to. I feel blessed to get to serve others from a wide array of backgrounds, experiences, struggles, and strengths, and utilize therapeutic approaches that best suit their mental health needs. I carry with me the emphasis on seeing the client from a “whole person in front of me” perspective: that he or she is made in God’s image and likeness, created uniquely and beautifully with inherent dignity, and a mystery to be met and discovered. I consider it a great privilege to accompany someone amid whatever they are experiencing.
Favorite Hobby:
Anything culinary and food-related! Cooking, entertaining, dining at new restaurants, testing out recipes, and trying out coffee shops. I’m also very inspired by beauty and love any opportunity to enjoy its splendor - whether it’s in nature, beautiful art, an exquisitely composed piece of music, a stunning Church, or an intentionally crafted home.
Favorite Animal:
Holstein cows. I grew up on a dairy in rural Central California, so I have fond memories associated with these adorable bovines!
What I do in my free time:
Self-care is an incredibly important part of being human! Whenever I can, I love getting out for walks in the beautiful San Diego sunshine, reading, and spending time at the beach. In addition to spending time with my family and friends, I enjoy traveling, all things culinary, fashion, décor, hiking, and exercise. I love traveling throughout my home state of California to explore the diversity (ocean, mountains, countryside, city) it offers. I also serve with a ministry called Lifegiving Wounds, which fosters healing for adult children of parental divorce and separation.
Oh, and I play Wordle - every day!
