Adults Therapists in 95011

Congratulations on taking the first step toward healing. One of the most difficult things is to find a therapist who you feel "gets" you, that you feel you can build rapport with. I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and have experience working with children, adolescents and adults, those suffering from trauma, sexual assault, grief and loss, and those struggling with school issues (academic under achievement, bullying, emotional disturbance, students with IEPs) providing services via Google Meet, video phone.

I work with adults, teens and provide family therapy. My specialities include treating depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, mother-daughter relational dynamics, mood disorders, self-identity, self-esteem, confidence and body positivity. In therapy, I integrate whole wellness and health and build upon your strengths. I work towards inspiring creativity within yourself as I believe everyone is the author of their own lives.

As a therapist, I want to encourage my clients to find their inner strength and voice. I believe in a client centered approach to therapy and focusing on building a positive working relationship.

Any person who enters into therapy with me is appreciated and welcomed. I identify each client as unique and feel a deep respect for them. My work experience has been primarily with adults and teenagers and it's been an incredibly enriching privilege. I practice client centered therapy, which acknowledges the client's wisdom, and holistic treatments. Whatever the client's issue is, I will be open minded, open hearted and compassionate. Whatever the therapeutic goal, I will assist and explore with the client at their speed. I truly look forward to working with my clients and I'm keenly interested in their therapeutic process.

Ready to unlock your full potential and create a life that feels truly fulfilling? Therapy can be a powerful catalyst for growth and positive change. I offer a collaborative approach that guides you towards present-moment awareness and a deeper connection with your inner world. Together, we'll transform your challenges into opportunities for growth, leading to greater self-awareness and clarity. With greater self-awareness you can better manage stress and build emotional resilience, empowering you to make lasting changes that enhance your well-being and cultivate a more authentic and meaningful life.

I specialize in supporting new and expecting families experiencing prenatal/postpartum depression and anxiety, birth trauma, and grief and loss, including pregnancy loss. The journey into motherhood invites us to experience intense love and joy, but it also touches our most raw and vulnerable parts. We may experience worries of not being good enough or fears of losing our identity. I understand how difficult it can be to take time for yourself when you feel overwhelmed and over-extended. But I also know that taking the time now to increase self-awareness can move you beyond survival and transform your experience of motherhood.

I arrive at the intersection of compassion & collaboration as I respectfully guide my clients to explore new levels of awareness, self-empowerment, flow, & understanding. Working towards cognitive flexibility, wholeness, and healing. Using empathy & unconditional positive regard as a foundation, I may occasionally challenge you to bring forward awareness with a more direct approach. I welcome the motivation or perhaps ambivalence that comes along with seeking treatment. There is no perfection in the layers that define us, just a journey of experiences & lessons that await discovery, growth and honor.

I offer online & in person nature walks for Individuals and Couples in California. If you're experiencing emotional pain, depression, anxiety, or feeling unhappy with your life, you are doing the best thing for yourself in reaching out for professional help. I provide a confidential and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore deeper parts of yourself, understand behavioral patterns that might be negatively affecting you, and learn how to improve your relationships. My ultimate goal is to help you find healing and achieve your personal goals. It is my privilege and passion to witness my client's inner intelligence at work.

Often, our greatest struggles come when our relationships are not as we'd wished; relationships with family are tense, a partnership is struggling, or our relationship with ourselves is unhealthy. I aim to provide a supportive environment that allows for exploration and identification and recovery of inner strengths that can be utilized as you explore new ways of thinking and relating. Whether you come for support with individual issues, family struggles, or couples' issues, I work to help clients learn new ways of relating, both to themselves and with others that may be more meaningful, compassionate, trusting, and satisfying.

I work with people who learn differently or are highly sensitive and/or highly intelligent who struggle with anxiety and depression. Some of my younger clients need help with learning and navigating social environments. Some of my clients are parents who need emotional support and coaching for parenting their gifted or twice-exceptional child. I help my clients increase their understanding of who they are as unique and whole individuals, offer strategies for enhancing emotional intelligence, and help my clients gain competency in regulating their emotions and reducing harmful behaviors.

Welcome! You probably came across my profile because you are dealing with persistent negative thoughts, emotions, behaviors, addictions/habits, stressors, pain, or relational issues that don't seem to improve. You are tired and want change. Fortunately, we have many techniques that can help you feel better or improve your current situation so that you can get back to living and enjoying the life you want. If you are looking for more in depth work, I enjoy helping individuals heal from their attachment wounds and traumas, overcome their shame, develop a positive relationship with themselves, and become their best self.

I currently have immediate openings for both telehealth and in-person! I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what's going on in your life, including uncomfortable emotions, relationship issues, and past experiences. I am empathic and open-minded, allowing each person to share their unique self in therapy. Therapy can be challenging and emotional, and together we can set goals that move you towards healing and self-improvement. I take a holistic approach to therapy, with an emphasis on your biological needs (exercise, sleep, nutrition, physical illness, etc). Therapy may be short-term or long-term.

Welcome. If you’re reading this, it probably means you are looking for something different. If you are looking for individual therapy, I believe I can be of best support to those who have already begun their healing work and are ready to dive deeper. This might involve utilizing current high-tech approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Somatic Therapy (e.g. Hakomi), as well as mindfulness and present-moment focused therapy, or possibly delving deeper into your psychological history. However, I am confident, ready, and willing to meet people wherever they are at on their journey. Additionally, I enjoy working with couples.

The pandemic has left many of us feeling confused, angry, and anxious, as we grapple with processing the profound changes happening around us. Balancing work and life, self-esteem and purpose, socialization and isolation, family and relationship issues, transitions and adjustments, and loss and grief are just a few of the challenges we may face. I believe that how we handle stress and conflict today is influenced by our past relationships and experiences. Generational patterns and cultural factors shape our movements, speech, behavior, and responses in the world
