Hope is powerful, and it’s something I want you to take with you from therapy. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future, cultivating even a small sense of hope can create momentum. In our work together, we’ll focus on building that hope in tangible ways: setting meaningful goals, learning to embrace uncertainty with curiosity, and creating space for healthier relationships, boundaries, and self-respect.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma. Through my training and experience, I’ve come to see that hope isn’t just wishful thinking; instead, it’s a skill that can be nurtured. It takes clarity, intention, and practice, and I’m here to help guide you through that process.
If you're ready to feel more grounded, connected, and hopeful, I’m here and ready to support you. Let’s take that first step together. Reach out by phone or email to schedule your first session.
Take the first step to help. Call or Alexandra Mari Pelonia now - (760) 893-9151
