Therapists in Eureka, CA

Those experiencing grief & loss often feel disconnected and struggle with who they are and what they will leave behind. With over 10 years of full time hospice experience both in Spiritual Care and Grief Support, I have supported both adults and children of various faiths, as well as those with no defined faith, to help find comfort with themselves and their place in the world. Grief often involves death, but we also grieve other losses. Even positive change can cause a sense of grief because change can be difficult. I meet people where they are both emotionally and geographically, with a goal of meeting where you can best process.

In the realm of psychotherapy, I firmly believe in fostering a trusting relationship as the foundation for healing and personal growth. I am genuinely passionate about providing a caring, honest, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can embark on their journey towards living their best lives. With an integrated therapeutic approach, I address the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. I believe in personalized care.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with extensive experience working with individuals, families, and couples from ethnically and culturally diverse populations. The individuals I work with are overcoming various life transitions that range from mental health issues, interpersonal relationships, career and academic challenges, substance use, grief and loss, and trauma. Having a strong support system, whether it is from friends, family, and/or community members, can help bridge the gap between feeling helpless and alone and feeling supported and understood.

I’m a child psychotherapist that works with parents, children, and adolescents. You might be here because you have questions about your child’s behavior, wish for a more satisfying parent-child relationship, or are overwhelmed from the stresses of parenthood. Perhaps painful memories from your own childhood are impacting your parenting and family. Becoming a parent is one of the most profound transitions in the adult life, and it naturally brings up shifts in our external and internal lives. It’s my honor to support individuals, couples, families, and children through this period and beyond.

With over twenty years experience in LGBTQ counseling, research, and teaching, I have a deep understanding of our community. Among LGBTQ individuals anxiety and depression may involve feelings of emptiness, relationship problems, interpersonal sensitivity, or addictions. The roots of these struggles can vary, but it helps to have a therapist who grasps the alienating impact of growing up in a world that disavows the core of who we are. I will help you address these issues, and others, through a deeper approach that can feel energizing, challenging, and even liberating.

There's a saying, "Healing is the application of love to the places inside that hurt." I'm here to fully support you in tending to those places. Together we will journey into understanding the major themes and patterns in your life and what they are trying to teach you. This increased level of awareness can help you access your strength and intuition, eliminate negative self talk and choose a more fulfilling relationship with yourself, others and life. I offer a 15 minute meet and greet to ensure we are a good fit.

My primary focus is on helping couples and working with families including adolescents, and adults. I am a trained couples therapist utilizing Relational Life Therapy by Terry Real (RLT), The Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) as my foundation for helping partners get unstuck and develop a deeper connection.

Hello and Welcome! My passion is creating a safe and non judgmental space for you to freely express yourself.
