I offer a relational, insightful, effective approach to therapy, aiming to help you find a sense of belonging and aliveness in the world. I welcome those who grieve, working with you to find the first hard steps after life has come undone, and with you as you learn to see in the dark. So often grief and trauma intertwine, and I offer help with the anxiety, vigilance, sleep problems, and relationship stress that often come with overwhelming experiences of trauma. Working with Brainspotting to access these places of trauma, and process them with careful attunement, I can help bring room for new perspectives and grounding in life.

I provide quality mental health care for diverse populations. As a mental health therapist, I assist many by providing bilingual and bicultural therapy, consultation, coaching, workshops, presentations and more. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, youth and families in Sonoma County and beyond. I work with a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship problems, life transitions, work/career changes, intergenerational trauma, the acculturation process and dealing with everyday stressors. I work with adults, children, and families, and have experience with diverse populations including BIPOC.

The word “heal” comes from “to make whole.” Psychotherapy, more aptly psyche-therapy, is a sacred process of tending to the soul wound and waking more fully to one’s aliveness and inherent wholeness. I am deeply passionate about supporting you in healing the fragmented and disowned parts of self that hinder you from living a life of meaningful connections, purposeful self-agency and joy. We work collaboratively to creatively transform unconscious and limiting belief structures, access your resiliencies, welcome emerging truths, skillfully navigate adversity with new tools, and integrate insights for profound and evolving change.

I work exclusively with couples as well as individuals seeking treatment for PSTD. I offer couples a complete assessment of their relationship using Gottman assessments and evidence based tools to move their relationship in the direction they want. In regards to PTSD treatment, I use bilateral stimulation using a lightbar to help individuals process trauma. I am trained in EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, both modalities are evidence based and effective in the treatment of trauma. We will work together to identify the best interventions for you.

I work in a warm and collaborative way, creating a safe space for you to understand yourself better. I can help you to identify and remove obstacles blocking you from living a full and rewarding life. Our relationship is important to me, and together we can deepen your understanding of patterns that may be holding you back from creating and enjoying the connection that you long for. I have 10 years of experience helping people decrease anxiety and increase joy and connection with themselves and others. I support people through life transitions and I also work with couples.

The Lomi Psychotherapy Clinic has a 30-person counseling staff offering therapy geared toward each client's needs. We have provided effective, accessible, and affordable mental health services to our community since 1987. Our sliding-scale counseling program serves individual adults, adolescents, and children, and couples and families. We also offer group therapy and educational classes to the public.

I believe the mind knows how to heal. Given the right conditions, our own wisdom guides us back to what makes us feel alive and whole. Therapy can be one of the conditions we need for healing. By becoming familiar with what blocks us and aligning with what we value and love, we begin to untangle the past and create the life we want.

Welcome! In my over 10 years of clinical practice I have worked with diverse populations in the outpatient, inpatient, community and private practice setting. I work to build a trusting, safe, empathic therapeutic relationship to assist you in meeting your treatment goals. My experience has been focused on helping clients with issues pertaining to anxiety, depression, major life changes, and stress management. Together we can work on building the skills, processing the past and developing coping mechanisms to help you in the future.

Navigating complex trauma amid life changes, cross-cultural individuals and couples often grapple with anxiety, depression and communication issues, while adjusting to different cultures. My approach focuses on fostering effective communication to nurture healthier relationships, enhance a sense of belonging and well-being and support personal development. Individuals and intercultural couples achieve a richer comprehension of themselves and their partners and a harmonious connection. Mi meta es ayudarle a manejar su ansiedad, depresión, conflictos culturales y de pareja, promoviendo su resiliencia, felicidad y progreso en su vida.

For me, it is vital that you feel heard and supported all times, without judgment. Together, we will strategize how to best cope with daily stressors effectively and easily. I can help you leave the past behind through self-forgiveness and by creating a much more positive present, and thus, future. Often, we talk to ourselves in very negative ways and this determines our reactions and limitations, as well as our worldview. I will help you radically improve your self-esteem and take on each day's challenges feeling strong and at peace with yourself. I also specialize in trauma. My way of treating it is effective and painless.

Clients that I work with are looking to explore the difficult emotions that they are carrying & process events that they have experienced that are impacting their every day life. Stress, worries, & life satisfaction are often what bring clients to therapy however processing the needs not being met & how to shift our awareness to engage in life in a way forward are what I often support clients in working on. Processing trauma & past events can be a focus as this can help to change perspective, increase emotional vulnerability, explore relationships dynamics as well as increase the awareness that trauma has on the whole body.

It is with excitement that I have returned to private practice full-time in the Napa Valley! With over 30 yrs. of experience, I am offering seasoned support to community members interested in personal growth, emotional healing, healthy coping, and life satisfaction. Depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, and past trauma require a safe space for processing vulnerabilities to rebuild strength and create a new path. After a fulfilling decade in private practice (2002-2012) followed by an invigorating decade directing counseling services for college students in the culinary industry (2012-2023), I embrace a new decade of service!

Sometimes looking for what you need is harder than you thought. Our Keystone team provides services that meet people in the different stages in their lives and goes along side you through your own self-determined growth process.

We often seek out therapy in the harder moments of life. These moments leave us feeling broken or stuck and can emerge as a result of anything from challenging personal relationships and life transitions to systemic oppression. I view my work as a therapist as an opportunity to enter these places with my clients—finding beauty in the shadows and guiding you back to remembering your inherent wholeness.

I am a psychotherapist with 19 years of experience working at a children's hospital. I am multiracial, born in Mexico, Spanish speaking. I am also a veteran that served during the OIF and OEF.

I like the outdoors and animals and I am enjoying a new interest in growing fruit plants/trees.

Nervous system dysregulation can result from life experiences but can become the root of interpersonal conflict and symptoms of anxiety and depression, and fatigue. With warmth and curiosity we'll work experientially to help you feel better faster. We'll use body-mindfulness and trauma resolution modalities to deepen your strengths, increase your resources, and develop skills to reshape your nervous system patterns. Our goal will be to create the kind of change and experience you craved enough to come looking for help.

As a holistic counselor I aim to create a safe space of acceptance, healing, and awakening. My focus involves helping you to gain awareness and clarity in relation to your life situation, and helping you to access your own inner wisdom and innate capacity for healing. My goal is to help you to fully flourish and reconnect to the life-force within. I bring my experience working with clients from a diverse range of backgrounds, facilitating groups both in the bay area and internationally, and teaching as a professor of clinical psychology and consciousness studies at John F. Kennedy University.
