I provide online individual therapy to adolescents and adults across California, offering services in both English and Spanish. I have experience assessing and treating a wide range of mental health symptoms and disorders, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to identify goals and create meaningful change. I view you as the expert of your own life, and I’m here to offer support, guidance, and a fresh perspective when it’s helpful. My hope is that our therapeutic relationship empowers you to navigate both present and future challenges with confidence. I’m passionate about helping clients build long‑lasting, positive change through Cognitive‑Behavioral interventions, mindfulness practices, and solution‑focused strategies designed to reduce symptoms, alleviate stress, and support you through life’s transitions.

I view you as the expert of your own life, and I’m here to offer guidance, tools, and a grounded perspective that supports meaningful, lasting change.

First session

In our first session, we’ll start with simple introductions and a conversation about what brought you to therapy at this point in your life. I’ll invite you to share the areas you’re currently struggling with, what you hope to change, and what feels most important for us to focus on together. This helps me begin shaping a treatment plan that truly reflects your needs and goals. We’ll also talk about what therapy looks like with me—my approach, what you can expect in future sessions, and any questions you may have. My goal is for you to leave that first meeting feeling heard, supported, and confident that you have a partner in this process as we begin working toward meaningful change.

Strengths

What stands out about my therapeutic approach is the balance I create between structure and collaboration. I draw from Cognitive‑Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness practices, and solution‑focused strategies, but I never take a one‑size‑fits‑all approach. Instead, I work alongside you to understand your unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I view you as the expert of your own life, and I’m here to offer guidance, tools, and a grounded perspective that supports meaningful, lasting change. Clients often share that they feel genuinely heard, empowered, and equipped with practical skills they can use both inside and outside of sessions. My goal is to help you reduce symptoms, build resilience, and navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence

Ideal clients

I like working with clients who are eager to explore ways to help themselves improve their lives by processing current barriers and exploring solutions that they can manage throughout the week

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

My role in the therapeutic relationship is to work on developing the coping skills that will help each individual client meet their goals. Through the course of therapy, we will identify your strengths and then use those strengths to aid you in reaching your goals.

Eli builds me up by pointing out all my strengths yet is such an active listener who helps me to discover why I still need to improve on many of my behaviors. He sparks these realizations by asking very specific questions that I have trouble answering… They are all questions that I have been side-stepping for the longest time and know that I need to find answers to. He is truly helpful for me and my journey to becoming successful.

My first time I met with Elias he immediately got into solution and gave me homework. Excited to see what’s next.

Eli was pretty direct, and easy to talk to. He offered some solutions and I felt comfortable talking to him right from the beginning, and my husband felt the same way.
