Have you ever asked yourself, "why don't I feel good about myself and my choices in life?" I want to help you explore those feelings and get to the root cause so we can reveal the parts of you that feel alive and whole again. Do you remember the hopes and dreams you had as a child? What happened to those dreams? It could be life events or circumstances, some that were out of your control and some that you made consciously or unconsciously. If you have experienced trauma, sexual trauma, this can contribute to your mental, physical, and emotional struggles. Sexual trauma is not easy to discuss, as it is a taboo topic, and you may not find you can share your story with your friends and family. Secrecy is part of the toxic shame that often leads to issues with self-esteem, relationships, intimacy, and other behavioral problems. Every person has the answers within themselves to reveal the shiny pearl in the bed of a sandy oyster. I can help you if you are ready to do the work of personal growth and healing.

I am a licensed psychotherapist in California, and I specialize in the examination of the human experience, with an emphasis in trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression disorders, and couple's therapy. I always strive to embody cultural humility, and I am proud to serve diverse clients of all backgrounds and walks of life. As a clinical therapist and cultural arts practitioner, I employ a unique artfulness to my style of therapy. I utilize traditional therapeutic modalities paired with mindfulness and meditation. I believe clients gain insight and answers to their challenges by exploring their inner-genius, and I am happy to serve as your trusted guide. Through clearly expressed goals and a commitment, one can be on the journey to self discovery, empowerment, mental wellness, and contentment. Under my therapeutic guidance, clients are empowered to create and embrace their own inner light. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes determination and a kind of "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired" type attitude, and I am proud of you for getting started! In the words of the late Bruce Lee, "What we are not changing, we are choosing". Let's work together and get your life on the path you truly envision for yourself.

Hi there, I primarily work in substance use recovery (abstinence and harm reduction) and trauma recovery. I also have specialized training in treating anxiety, depression, and sleep issues/insomnia. My treatment orientation is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concepts, however the foundation of my early training was Psychodynamic. I have been trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Prolonged Exposure, STAIR (Skills Training in Affective and Interpersonal Regulation), and Seeking Safety for trauma treatment. When treating anxiety, I take a CBT, or exposure approach with skill-building. For depression I utilize CBT concepts, or behavioral activation with skill-building. For sleep issues, I work with the CBT for insomnia treatment model. These are just a few examples of treatment approaches I utilize. I am relational focused, which to me means finding a plan that works best for you, practicing cultural humility and not trying to fit a round peg in a square hole. I look forward to working with you.

Over human history, people have mostly lived in close-knit communities. This has eroded with the advances in transportation and technology. Most people have lost much of the social support our forebearers enjoyed. Mental Health Professionals have taken on this role in their respective communities and are an excellent resource for you to realize your strengths and improve your well-being. When your car breaks down you take it to a mechanic. When your tooth hurts you see a dentist. When your mental health can use a “tune-up,” see a Mental Health Professional!

Building self-awareness is often a hard place to start. I meet my patients where they are in their journey and support the process. Sometimes taking the first step to explore psychotherapy is confusing. Ask questions so you can find a therapist who is the right fit for you. My approach meets people where they are presently, to determine where they want to be in the future. I like to get to know my new patients to determine their needs in treatment.

Hi there! I’m Alyssa (she/her), specializing in working with people of all ages who've experienced trauma or have struggles with mental illness. Having been in therapy since childhood, I understand how tough it can be to open up to a stranger. My approach to therapy is laid-back, aiming to create an inviting space filled with warmth, comfort, and and a sense of good familiarity. I take a psychodynamic, strengths-focused approach when working with clients as I believe we can't better ourselves in the present without revisiting what's impacted our development up to this point. I'm here for clients ready to explore their past to shape a brighter future, particularly those healing from trauma or mental health struggles. My approach is rooted in patience, warmth, and humor, balancing the tough moments with some light-heartedness.

Hello, I’m a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I have worked with teens and adults to overcome their life challenges and develop the coping skills necessary to become the best version of themselves.

Here I began to focus on working with teens and young adults to overcome challenges associated with life transitions, burnout, relationship issues, and mood disorders such as anxiety, grief, and depression. Working as part of a grant program with parolees and then a group private practice, I also gained significant experience working with individuals who have trauma history. Through this work, I was able to learn and implement a variety of modalities to effectively address the impacts of trauma. I love my work as a therapist and would be happy to be part of your journey.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing individual virtual therapy to clients in California. I bring 9 years of clinical experience working with adults, young adults, and adolescents facing a range of mental health issues and wellness concerns. I am your go-to therapist for all things grief. Before becoming a therapist in private practice, I started my career working in schools and then shifted into the world of hospitals. Through working in these environments, I have a deep understanding of the world of grief, loss, and complex trauma. How can I help? My specialty areas are psycho-oncology, fertility concerns/perinatal mental health, and trauma. What do these areas have in common? Grief. That's where I come in. I have a deep capacity to hold someone's grief while they experience it in its entirety and then learn how to cope with it as it shows up in different parts of their lives. Have you suffered the loss of a parent? Have you experienced miscarriage, termination, a NICU stay, or birth trauma? Do you need a space to process a new diagnosis, such as cancer? Are you searching for support while you care for a loved one going through cancer treatment? Do you feel angry, lost, or alone in adjusting to life after cancer treatment? Do you feel hopeless, invalidated or misunderstood in the grief you're experiencing? While I am absolutely a therapist for those needing support through a life transition/stressors or wanting to improve their sense of self, my area of speciality is grief and all that comes along with it.
