LMFT, 4 years of experience
New to Grow
Hi! I’m Olivia, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I hold a BA in Human Biology from Stanford, with a focus on child development, and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco. I'm passionate about how early life experiences shape our sense of self and bring this perspective into my therapeutic work. With a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic style, I help individuals struggling with disordered eating/eating disorders, perfectionism, rigidity, and control to live a life of freedom and joy that’s aligned with their personal values. I also help individuals who have experienced trauma confront and move through whatever may be keeping them from accessing the life they want.
I use my first session as a space to get to know you and connect with you as a person. I also will ask you what brings you to therapy at this time and will want to hear about your goals or hopes for our work together.
I am warm, compassionate, and work with you to tailor a therapeutic approach that helps you meet your personal goals.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder/disordered eating, or life transitions, I am here to help. I serve clients who are ready for some kind of change in their lives and need some support to make that change happen. I work with folks who are looking to find more mental peace and freedom, strengthen their relationships with others, and take actions that align with their personal values.
I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients cope with distressing emotions, sensations, and thoughts in addition to supporting clients with reflecting on and clarifying their personal values and committing to goals that will bring their life more in line with their values.
I use IFS to support clients in identifying, understanding, and balancing the different parts of themselves that show up for them in relationships, work, and daily life.
