My approach to therapy is based on Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings (e.g., anxiety & depression), I will help you learn to react differently to them so that you can keep your focus on living a meaningful and fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender & sexuality.

Hello, and welcome to my profile! I am looking forward to meeting you! Life can be difficult at times (transitions, separations, parenting, relationships, illness, loss/grief, work issues, codependency), and these challenges may be hard to handle on our own. I work with people who are looking to grow or change but feel stuck not knowing how to move forward. You may be wanting a deeper connection with yourself and others or facing some difficult challenges or changes in your life.

I specialize in creating a safe and accepting space for the LGBTQ+ community and other marginalized groups and cultures. I am passionate about exploring creative approaches to healing, while honoring each individual's unique journey and culture. I've witnessed the power of art-making to build connections and trust when working with people struggling with a variety of issues, including traumatic experiences, depression and anxiety, neurodiversity and everyday stressors to name a few. Art therapy is a powerful tool to help create new meanings of experience and supports self-expression without the use of words.

You are multifaceted, and your experiences are unique. Together, we'll take an integrative approach to address the various symptoms and challenges you're facing. While talk therapy can be helpful on its own, I believe in enhancing the process with humor, curiosity, and collaboration to deepen your understanding of your feelings and experiences. Your ideas and creativity are always welcome as we work together. Through empowerment and exploration, you can tap into your internal resources to recognize patterns, solve problems, and cope with life's challenges.

Hi, my name is Elisa, I am a California native, and Licensed as a Social Worker in California, Oregon, and Washington State. I work with individuals and couples. Do you isolate, feel misunderstood, or have difficult connecting to others? Have you been told you are "too sensitive", "too intense", or "too intense"? Do you ever feel like no matter how hard you try - you can't catch a break? Do you want to hide parts of yourself? Do you want to build more connection in your relationship? Often times our old wounds and experiences get in the way of living. You are not alone and you don't have to walk this journey alone.

I work with adults and adolescents over 15 years old. The foundation of my practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive and liberation frame work. While I work with clients from all walks of life, I have a focus on serving the BIPOC, Latinx and Hispanic communities. I specialize working with people who have experienced trauma and live with anxiety. I provide therapy in English, Spanish (or Spanglish!) and my priority is for clients to feel like they can be their most authentic selves. Further, I foster an environment that is culturally responsive, non-jugmental, and sometimes sprinkled with a little humor.

How do you slow down, when there is so much to do? My clients usually experience a whirlwind of speed and stress. They face the challenge of pausing to understand and address their internal needs, which can seem paradoxical. This conflict can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction with life. I find that developing trust and believing in yourself is of paramount importance. Genuinely building confidence is a sensitive process that is ultimately transformative.

Counseling is a challenging avenue to pursue. Usually at moments of confusion, loss, even desperation. Having been in the field for over 20 years, I can admit I don't have 1 answer. However, having that amount of professional (and considerable personal) experience, I've accumulated quite a tool box. It may not guide you to immediate enlightenment, but it will help with the journey. I hope to hear from you.

You’re constantly juggling the demands of your job, your family, and your inner turmoil. You feel overwhelmed and exhausted. Ongoing stress, along with unpleasant past memories, weighs heavily on you, making it hard to feel at ease. You struggle with feelings of loneliness and helplessness, get caught in a cycle of people-pleasing, and interpersonal conflicts only add to your stress, leaving you feeling unworthy and unsupported. Perhaps you find it difficult to express your needs and vulnerability, and the defenses you put up only hurt your partner and push them further away. You feel lost and disconnected.
