Welcome & I sincerely appreciate your courage to seek support. Do you have difficulty dealing with a particular relationship at this time? Maybe it seems that the sadness, distress, or anger we experience feels overwhelming. The good news is that there is no better time than now to mend, restore relationships, and work through our hurt. I hope to journey with you to make strides toward healing and connection with important relationships in your life, while working toward better emotional health.
As a registered AMFT, I utilize the evidence-based Emotionally Focused Therapy process to work with individuals, couples, and families. Also, as a Filipina-American therapist, I understand the unique challenges of navigating bicultural identity, intergenerational family dynamics, and the importance of community and resilience in mental health.
It is my heartfelt intention to provide you with a safe and supportive environment where you can be seen, heard, and understood. Your voice and your story matter, and I would feel privileged to understand you and support you in your time of need. Contact me today.
Take the first step to help. Call or Frances Loreto now - (657) 500-0479

I mainly employ the evidence-based Emotionally Focused Therapy approach. Within the first session or two, we will explore the memories in your life that inform your own attachment and protective strategies that may have helped you survive in the past, but make you feel "stuck" now. From there, we work together to process and heal hurt one by one.
