Therapists Beginning With W in California
Hi there! If your brain feels like a browser with 30 tabs open (and you’re not sure where the music is coming from), well... welcome! You’ve tried journaling, read the self-help books, doom scrolled through all the reels, maybe even dabbled in some astrology, and somehow life is still a lot.

My ideal clients are high-achieving individuals, couples, and professionals who look successful but feel hollow underneath it. They come to me at the edge of a transition, a relationship under strain or one that has gone quiet, or a career that no longer feels like theirs, exhausted from performing a self they no longer recognize. They want to stop the performance at work and at home and finally live from their authentic selves. Together we rebuild from the inside out: clarity, identity, and authentic direction, so the next chapter is chosen, not inherited. I keep a limited caseload so this work stays personal, precise, and deep.

My focus is on young adults and adults dealing with Trauma, OCD, anxiety disorders, Depression, Life Stressors, and Women’s Challenges. As a woman of color, I’m passionate about breaking mental health stigma and supporting those who’ve faced discrimination or struggled in professional life as minorities. I specialize in CBT, Exposure and Response Prevention for anxiety disorders, and am certified in Brainspotting.

Do you... Worry too much but can't help it? Criticize yourself and guiltily believe you're not as good as other people think you are?

Want to start feeling better ASAP but feel daunted about finding a therapist who will be a good 'fit' for you? I can help.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering depth psychotherapy for adults and older adolescents. I am dedicated to working collaboratively with my clients, with the goal of generating personal growth and lasting change. We begin with an exploration of symptoms and initial problems, then widening therapy to include the history of major life attachments, sense of self, personality and current life events that impact quality of life. With over thirty years of experience, I've found the most potent approach is to work from an attitude of curiosity, warmth, determination, and compassion.

You're the person others rely on: the helper, the thoughtful friend, the one who tries to keep everything together. But lately you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted. Maybe you're navigating grief, relationship challenges, big life transitions, or the pressure of always being the strong one. I work with insightful, reflective people who want more than surface-level coping skills. Together we slow things down, explore what's beneath the stress, and help you reconnect with clarity, purpose, and a deeper sense of peace.

Finding yourself or a loved one in a place of internal chaos can feel unmanageable. When you feel overwhelmed in your mind, body, and emotions it can leave you in a dysregulated space. Struggling with difficult relationships, either within yourself or with others can have part of you falling back into habitual behaviors. Sometimes you try to avoid your thoughts and feelings as a way to disconnect from internal struggles. You want to feel happy with yourself, relationships, and life so desperately but things seem to fall short. Unfortunately, we all experience events or situations in our lives that can leave us confused, hurt & lost.

I seek to help you illuminate stories you tell yourself about your emotional experiences and to shift narratives that aren’t serving you to build a joyful, connected, fulfilling life. Engaging in therapy is a courageous, empowering choice. I believe the foundations of a healing, productive therapeutic relationship are trust, authenticity, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgemental space to explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to build insight into and change painful or unskillful patterns. My approach is eclectic and strengths-based, drawing from an array of modalities tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. Seeking therapy support can be a very uncomfortable first step especially in communities that views mental health services as a stigma. As an Afro-Latino born and raised in Panama, I am familiar with societal pitfalls that trigger a mindset of hopelessness. Yet, it is through those struggles that have empowered me to change that narrative. In my 26 years of experience working for the city and county of San Francisco, Child Protective Services, vulnerable individuals and families have entrusted me to partner with them as they navigate times of crisis and despair.

Inside a life that often looks successful or "handled," something can still feel heavy, disconnected, or stuck. Whether it shows up as relentless anxiety, burnout, or a subtle misalignment with your true self, you don't have to carry it alone. I’m Christina, a therapist with 20 years of experience. As a Queer woman, I provide a safe, affirming space for LGBTQ+ individuals and couples to process trauma, explore identity, connection, and quiet the pressure of "having it all together" while managing life’s transitions. I also welcome anyone who values authenticity and is ready to move beyond simply getting through the day-to-day.

I work with couples navigating blended family stress, co-parenting challenges, custody dynamics, communication breakdowns, and the emotional strain that can come with rebuilding trust and stability. Some couples are trying to repair and reconnect, while others feel stuck in repeating conflict, resentment, or uncertainty about the future of the relationship. Using EFT, Gottman-informed approaches, and trauma-informed somatic therapy, I help partners slow reactive cycles, improve communication, strengthen boundaries, and better understand the deeper patterns influencing their relationship and family system.
