How might you show yourself compassion today? Where can you exercise more curiosity, in place of judgement? Imagine speaking to yourself with the same gentle grace and care you would typically give to a friend, loved one or child. Many of us struggle to be kind and patient with ourselves, especially if we have endured or been witness to traumatic experiences. I believe that we are all capable of change and healing, if we lead with compassion. In our work together, we will focus on nurturing your relationships, starting with the self, unlocking your innate ability to heal, feel, grow, connect, redefine and transcend beyond your pain.

Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming. With investments of energy, time, and money, it is important to select a therapist with whom you feel comfortable—someone that "gets" you and in whom you have trust and confidence. I enjoy helping adults understand their barriers and strengths to help them meet their goals in the various aspects of their lives, such as relationships, work, school, and health.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, driven professionals who work in fast-paced fields such as tech, startups, design, and finance who feel overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected despite appearing successful on the outside. You may be navigating demanding work, relationship stress, or the challenges of parenting while trying to hold everything together. Many parents I work with deeply love their children but feel exhausted by the constant demands of balancing work, caregiving, and the pressure to do everything well.

Hi, my name is Teresa (she/her/hers). I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Expressive Arts Therapist. I work with clients statewide in California via telehealth. When I’m not working, I like to spend time with family, play board games, be in nature, go on random adventures, and watch a good cult or crime documentary. I primarily use Expressive Arts (EXA) Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. But what does that mean? We will vacillate between working in the here/now and exploring our past experiences - especially with caregivers and other significant individuals.

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I integrate evidence-based approaches with a compassionate and collaborative style. Together, we’ll explore both the “why” of your struggles and the “how” of creating meaningful change.
Therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you can show up as your full self-struggles, strengths, and everything in between. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you move toward clarity, growth, and relief from patterns that no longer serve you. Here, you don’t have to hold it all together - you can slow down, reflect, and focus on what you need.
