I have been working in mental health for nearly 30 years. I developed a holistic psychology practice over 20 years ago to help my clients get the best results. Holistic means treating the whole person; mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of someone's life to find the root cause of symptoms. I am also a clinical nutritionist focusing on helping to educate about detox and balance brain chemistry with vitamins, minerals and amino acids and eating for optimal health. I focus on root cause of symptoms, doing progressive trauma interventions. Trauma is about times in your life in which your nervous system becomes dysregulated.

Currently accepting new group clients only (see group info at bottom of this page). I currently have a waitlist for individual clients. I believe effective solutions are as diverse as the people seeking them. When you have consistently struggled with procrastination, disorganization, inconsistent focus, and feeling overwhelmed, identifying those solutions can feel like a daunting task. For neurodivergent folks operating in a world tailored to neurotypical brains, that task can feel insurmountable. Feeling burned out and overwhelmed by the demands and pace of the world around you? Let's work together to shift that.

My name is Yaj (soft j). I am an attachment & recovery based Relationship Coach (former LMFT in NY for 17 years) in Humboldt County, CA, working online & in my home office. Since 2001, my clients - couples & individuals - seek relief from chronic patterns of conflict & negativity in relationships. My work offers focused education, supportive guidance in skill training & reparative relational experiences in 75-min couple sessions, 60 min for individuals. When you show up willing to be open, even when it's hard, you discover a decrease in the suffering struggle & create safety and closeness in relationship with self, other and life.

A creative approach to counseling permeates the therapeutic environment. I have a wide range of therapeutic modalities that I utilize depending upon client need..These include: art therapy, play therapy, sand tray, cognitive behavioral, client-centered, and existential approaches. I am fluent in American Sign Language and all ages are welcome. Due to nine years working at Loma Linda BMC, I am able to help a variety of psychological issues conflicting clients. Empathy, Accountability, and Searching for Truth are personal components.

I believe that solutions are as varied as people. Your individual style or temperament is the key to who you are and what works for you. I believe that everyone has a meaningful life story and in the power of telling that story and having it heard. I believe in inspiration and in practical solutions. I believe in the importance of good self care and that many things are therapeutic in addition to therapy. I will help you to find other inner and external resources which are supportive and helpful towards the changes you wish to make.

It takes courage to ask for help. I honor you in your pursuit of healing and wholeness. Experience and data show that a strong therapeutic relationship is the key to success in therapy. I endeavor to provide a safe container into which each individual human being who comes for therapy is welcomed. Being met with empathy, respect, acceptance, kindness, understanding, genuineness and non-judgement opens a space where each person can explore their issues without feeling the need to censor or conform. Having another person inalienably aligned with your own deepest Self empowers your unique route to healing and so transformation.

Accepting new clients: Individual adults only. Do you find that you are trying to create the life that you can envision, but get stuck, or feel like you don’t deserve to follow your vision? Sometimes we can use some help -- with tools to honor your Authentic Self, to work with your fears, to find your joy and move forward. I provide non-judgmental guidance that draws upon your natural creativity, compassion and clarity. I respect who you are now, and collaborate with you, honoring your innate strengths and skills. We work to heal old wounds, increase awareness and empower you to consciously create a life that resonates with you.

There are a lot of reasons to seek therapy, and improved relationships can help most all of them. Repetitive patterns from trauma or a diminished connection with a loved one can drain the resiliency and joy from your daily life. It can seem like you're stuck with unmet needs, feeling like you can't get it right, or that you are the only one who cares about the relationship. You ever wonder how people who love each other so much can argue so intensely? I strive to help you move from ineffective dependency to effective dependence.

Do you long to feel greater self esteem and ease? My experience helping many people has shown me that effective and worthwhile therapy unfolds by sensitive attunement to each unique client or couple. Healing has many facets: emotional, somatic, cognitive, energetic, and relational are important elements. I work with you as your skilled guide within a healing professional therapeutic relationship. If you are seeking transpersonal (spiritually inclusive) therapy I could be a great fit for you. As a long time seeker and practitioner I know well the gifts that come from the spaces where psychology meets spirituality.

The pandemic was hard on all of us. If you feel like you need some support or help to desal the last couple of years, I'm here. We all need help occasionally. Learning how to approach and overcome these challenges shape us and allow us to experience life to the fullest. Therapy allows us to look at where we may be blocked and helps us find our own answers to living an authentic life. I discovered that building a supportive relationship through therapy creates a safe place to explore life issues, understand difficult situations, learn new skills, enrich relationships, and work through situations that lead to a more authentic life.

I offer coaching and psychotherapy to support women who wish to connect with and express their most authentic Self, in order live a life aligned with their soul's purpose. I help you to move beyond fear, doubt and shame inflicted by culture and life experience, so that you may love yourself more fully and offer your gifts freely to the world. To support you in this deep healing process, we may incorporate various somatic and spiritual practices into our work together, based on your unique needs and values.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming. You may have plans to get through the clutter in your bedroom, but then you realize the dishes need to be done so you can access the sink. Perhaps you know you have the intelligence and skills to get through college, but the simple act of starting an assignment is so overwhelming that the pressure itself makes it feel impossible to begin. Or you have a deep desire to form relationships, but you don’t know where to start and always end up feeling like you’ve failed when you try. Maybe you have a job that doesn't suit you, or are unemployed and can’t seem to get past the interview process.
