"I am a California licensed psychologist whose clinical experience spans twenty-seven years. I specializes in the treatment of trauma-related disorders, victims of intimate partner violence, addiction treatment and recovery, couples therapy; parent-child conflict, and substance and alcohol abuse. From a theoretical perspective, I work from an integrative theoretical orientation grounded in psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, and in the cognitive and behavioral therapies; but above all, my work is pragmatic, and down-to-earth. All Mental Fitness Clinic clinicians regularly collaborate with the medical director, Neevon Esmaili, MD."

"Do you have a child, teenager or college and career age adult struggling in school, work or social situations due to depression, anxiety or ADHD. Perhaps you felt this way growing up and are working hard to adjust as an adult today. The truth is, life is hard and sometimes we need someone to walk along side us as we navigate life."

"Creative. Addict/Alcoholic. Trauma Survivor. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're scared about the impact sobriety might have on your creative abilities (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're working to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're wondering why your sensitivity & insight aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel. What do you do if your pain is too great to handle on your own?"

"I believe when it comes to finding the right therapist, it is crucial to find someone who truly makes you feel seen, understood, and like things really can get better. I concentrate on the relationship between client and therapist; while fostering a climate of collaboration, support and greater self-awareness to assist and guide you through meeting your desired goals. I infuse insight, a sense of humor and interventions tailored to each unique individual's needs. Though formally trained psychodynamically, I am relationally oriented and tend to integrate elements of modalities such as CBT, Family Systems and Narrative."

"Over the years working in a variety of settings with many types of people I have found my niche is working with people who have lasting effects from childhood trauma, addictions and compulsive behaviors, and difficulties in relationships. Clients tell me that my ability to stay consistent, calm, and grounded helps them slow down so they can connect to their body - feel their emotions - and experience themselves more whole and alive. Since 2004 I have worked with people with problematic sexual behavior and their loved ones as a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT) using a combination of trauma therapies and Pat Carnes Task Centered Approach."

"I treat clients from a trauma informed perspective. If it is addiction issues (substance or process) anxiety, depression or other mood disorders, so much of what informs these maladies is developmental or relational trauma. Big T or shock trauma can bring on many underlying issues that have been dormant. I work with clients to carefully assess their history and treatment goals. I use CBT, Psychodynamics, EMDR and other trauma treatment modalities to effectively resolve the inner disturbance."

"I'm a Latina licensed psychologist and I specialize in working with people that have been impacted by trauma; for example: unexpected loss of loved ones, sexual abuse/rape, domestic violence, child abuse, war/gang related, and many others. I also specialize in working with teens/young adults, and with their families; in the family sessions, I usually help the client and his/her caregivers improve their communication and connection. I can also assist in helping the parent improve their overall parenting skills. I also conduct psychological evaluations (IQ, educational, socio-emotional); including for immigration purposes. Services are conducted in English and in Spanish. I have a Registered Psychological Assistant that also provides services and that specializes in substance abuse, compassion fatigue and caregivers of elders; she provides services on Saturday and on a sliding scale.

"In my 27 years of experience, much of it devoted to working with the transgender community, I have come to believe healing takes place when a strong therapeutic alliance has been established. Therapy is about understanding and effecting the way you feel about yourself while learning how your behavior effects relationships with others. Being able to be vulnerable and feel safe with a therapist goes a long way. Change can - and does - take place. Be open minded and prepared to laugh, cry and everything in between."

"Wether you struggle to restore perspective, calm and balance in your life, attempt to heal trauma, depression and anxiety, or seek to discover and pursue greater potential and purpose, I offer a safe, open, curious and non-judgemental place to do just that. Everything you think, feel, do and experience actually makes complete sense - we simply may need some time to understand and appreciate why it does. This growing awareness allows for better design of a life with purposeful future and relief from the past, offering real, actual choice rather than the apparent choice in repetitive, automatic and unconscious routines."
