The foundation of my clinical training was providing mental health services to children (preschool-aged through adolescence) and their families.
Therapy is a time that's about YOU! It's a non-judgmental space where you can explore issues that you may have identified or you're not quite sure why you feel stuck. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, ancestral trauma, or other things you just can't seem to resolve. You might have difficulty with personal boundaries or be experiencing repeated relationship conflicts. If you could have a regular place to address the things that burden you, imagine how different life could be?

Welcome! I’m Bella.
I offer virtual therapy for individuals and couples across California, with a focus on supporting highly sensitive people, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
You might be someone who feels deeply, thinks deeply, and often feels overwhelmed by it all. Maybe you find yourself overthinking, struggling with self-doubt, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t quite make sense of. You may appear “high-functioning” on the outside, while internally feeling anxious, depleted, or disconnected from yourself or the world around you.
