There is a saying, "In youth, we run into difficulties. In old age, difficulties run into us." Sometimes life can be really hard. Even the strongest individual may need support and guidance in dealing with unexpected circumstances, or in managing conflict and personal challenges. I believe that through safe, reassuring, and compassionate therapy, clients can work through any struggle, connect to their best authentic selves, and achieve long-term growth and personal transformation.

My work is focused on initiating healing from the moment you walk through my door. And I recognize it takes a lot of courage to be in the room, with me as your therapist, while beginning this journey of deeper understanding of self and change. Together we will look inward at the fragmented pieces of your life, which can often be intimidating, but you won't be made to feel alone in this process. I will help you put the pieces of your life together so you can develop a stronger sense of self.

We each have individual journeys and experiences which have shaped us to be where we are and who we are today. Therapy can help you sort through your current and past struggles to live a more balanced and fulfilling life. My approach to psychotherapy is individualized and culturally-sensitive to meet your needs. I work with individuals and couples in either long term insight-oriented therapy or short-term solution-focused therapy. Navigating significant life events like marriage, divorce, break-ups, moving, loss, or career changes can be hard, and you don't have to do it alone.

In this stressful time you may be anxious, depressed, or excessively worried. You may have difficulty focusing, making you feel unmotivated and unproductive. It is possible you feel overly critical of yourself or loved ones and are having challenging relationships. The stress you're experiencing might even bring back difficult memories. I view your symptoms as unique, important expressions of your internal experience. These feelings should be respected and valued; they are clues about what is going on internally. The good news is these feelings present an opportunity, and a road map, for change.

I work with women struggling with their own secrets; the kind that burn a hole in the heart and soul. Women who know they're in pain, confused, or deeply challenged by their emotions or lack of balance in their lives. They may not have close friends or a strong, supportive or local family, and sometimes feel like outsiders, alienated, or like no one understands them. I often work with self-proclaimed "empaths", "introverts", caregivers, or women who isolate themselves for a variety of reasons. I help women who seek self compassion and want to know self love. We'll uncover your strengths, your true self, and empower you to heal.

I'm Stacey (he/him), California licensed marriage and family therapist. What do you want more from life? Happiness? Confidence? A sense of purpose? Connections? New fun adventures? Such experiences are difficult to achieve when you're focused on controlling and managing mental health symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. My question to you is do want to live your life managing symptoms, or would you rather spend that time and energy on experiences that lead to more zest and vitality? Many people get stuck in life because they think they need to eliminate the anxiety and depression before they can live again. I disagree.
