I’m Tia and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I believe that therapy is a time to be our true selves and explore our emotions in a safe space. Some modalities I implement in my therapy are Solution-focused, CBT, Gottman Methods, Narrative and Strategic. Through these modalities, I am goal-oriented and direct, all while taking the time to explore the issues at hand in order to meet your desired goals in therapy.

Are you noticing changes in your child or teen? Are they battling with anxiety or depression? If so, I am here to support you and your family. I aim to help children and teens to overcome obstacles and support them in their journey towards personal growth. Art is a bridge that can help people communicate when words have failed. It can be a reflection of whom they are and whom they strive to be. I look forward to meeting you and assist you in reaching your goals. I am trained in Art Therapy, Trauma-Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play Therapy and Mindfulness.

Are you feeling stuck and looking for a place to unpack some painful memories from the past? You've been trying to make sense of how people so close to you could cause you so much pain. As you've gotten older, navigated relationships, or have had children of your own, you have really been struggling to feel confident, truly connected to others, and whole. I'm Julia. I help those working through generational (complex) trauma alleviate their anxiety, change patterns of perfectionism, people pleasing, and codependency and connect deeply with those they love. I'm here to help you make sense of your experience and embrace yourself fully.

I enjoy working with individuals, in particular, females and young adults. Some of the issues I work most effectively with include anxiety, mild depression, adjustment disorders, stress management and personal growth. My clinical and life experience contribute to my effectiveness in these areas.

I am a bilingual English/Spanish, bi-cultural therapist who specializes in treating postpartum depression and anxiety and life transitions. I aim to create a safe space for you to process unexpected emotions and learn new skills to manage challenging situations. Seeking support is often not easy so I commend you for taking the first step to make a positive change in your life. Need support through a major life transition? Contact me today for a free consultation phone call.

Are you concerned about your child or teen? I have worked with children in the mental health field for several years in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I utilize a person-centered approach when working with children in order to meet them developmentally where they are at. I am passionate about working with youth and their parents to help families thrive. I have several areas of clinical interest including depression, anxiety, ADHD, and reactions to traumatic stress.

Aloha! Life is full of change and transition, and that means life is also full of times when we need extra support to manage the anxiety, depression, and/or distress that often comes along with it. If this sounds like you, you're in the right place. I like to think of myself as a treatment partner, not someone who sits silently while you figure out your own path forward. That means I take a holistic, collaborative approach to treatment, with a nod to evidence-based practices, such as CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused, as well as using EMDR and trauma-focused CPT for PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms.

You feel overwhelmed by your anxiety at times; sometimes even to the point of having a panic attack. It can come out of nowhere and you don’t understand what brought it on or how to make yourself feel better. You feel helpless. Sometimes you can’t stop the tears from streaming down your face. You feel like no one cares about you or understands what you’re going through. There’s this unspoken pressure to just “get over it" and "move on" because "it's in the past." You say to yourself, “why can’t I just feel better already? What’s wrong with me?”

Creating change and healing in your life is possible, and seeking out a therapist is a great way to get started. Therapy can help you figure out what isn't working for you, view it from different perspectives, and learn new ways to relate to yourself and others. Using a style that is personable, accepting and non-judgmental, my clients see me as a real person who cares about them and their concerns.

Each of us go through different seasons in our life where change can happen unexpectedly. At times there can be so much pressure to be successful personally and professionally and sometimes it can be challenging to be our authentic selves. Past or present circumstances can leave us feeling stuck, confused, fearful or hopeless. Those feelings are valid and it is important that they are heard and understood. I am a strong believer in the power of therapy where an individual can truly be their honest self. We all deserve a safe place to be open about our history, our emotions, and our dreams and I am here to offer that space.

Life is always filled with challenges and it's not always possible to deal with these life challenges in the most healthy and practical ways possible. Sometimes you might not have the support of others that you need to deal with these life stressors. I work with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and other behavioral problems. My goal as your therapist is to help you navigate these life stressors in the best way possible for you. I do this through a collaborative approach with my clients, as each individual is unique and what works best for one client might not work for another.

Are you struggling to find the support you need? Whether you are experiencing everyday struggles or confronting more serious difficulties, I may be able to help. I am a bilingual LMFT, CA Certified Domestic Violence Counselor, and Level I Certified Telebehavioral Health Provider. I draw from various evidence-based treatment modalities, with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a foundation. I view individuals as experts in their own existence, and believe each person knows what will work for them and what is best for them. I can offer support as you work to identify your current needs, goals and unique set of strengths and skills.

If you have ever felt overwhelmed, frustrated, lost, or that no one understands, you are not alone. We all have issues and need some form of tune-up every now and then. No problems are too large or too small to seek therapy. I work with children, teens, adults with various concerns including depression, adjustment issues, bereavement, anxiety, substance abuse, spiritual issues, major axis 1 disorders, and personality disorders. I specialize in working with Asians, Asian Americans, and Pacific Islanders but also work with all populations. My therapy is individualized and tailored to the person and the presenting issue.

If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, or numbness, I’m here for you. Blaming yourself or feeling guilt or shame is no fun. These experiences are probably affecting your relationships, even the one with yourself. Your body gets bombarded with danger signals and in an attempt to cope you have learned to ignore your gut feeling and to numb the outside. Now you are noticing that this has challenged your ability to manage stressful situations, and it has led you to feel easily overwhelmed and wishing you could just shut it all off. This is what Complex PTSD can feel like when it goes untreated.

Are you concerned about a family member. I am here to help! My clinical work experience includes providing mental health services to a variety of clients including young children, pre-teens, adolescents, college students, adults, families, and couples. I am culturally competent in assisting clients in reaching their goals. I have experience working with varying populations: military, military spouses and children, veterans, high-risk youth, elderly, and adolescents in both community and school settings.

I believe that every person has the potential to achieve their dreams, and I am dedicated to helping them get there. I am a caring, passionate, and solution-focused therapist that has helped countless individuals overcome challenges that drive their well-being. My compassionate and understanding nature allows me to create a safe and supportive environment for my clients to open up and explore their feelings and experiences. I have a particular passion for working with kids and teens with disabilities, the LGBTQ+ community, and transition-aged young adults, and have extensive experience with these populations.
