Therapists in California

My dream client is a high-achieving individual seeking support in navigating the complexities of their personal and professional life. I thrive in working with executives and professionals who experience workplace stress, challenges with work-life balance, career transitions, imposter syndrome, and relational struggles. These individuals are driven, ambitious, and often carry a high level of responsibility, yet they may struggle with self-doubt, burnout, or difficulty maintaining fulfilling personal relationships. I also find great fulfillment in working with early career adults who are entering the workforce, starting their careers, transitioning to living independently, experiencing relationship issues, or making important life decisions. Many of these clients face uncertainty, stress, and difficulty coping with transitions as they establish their personal and professional identity and navigate new responsibilities. I help them build confidence, develop resilience, and cultivate a sense of purpose as they move forward in their careers and personal lives. My ideal client is motivated for change and open to self-exploration. Whether they are an executive striving for balance or a young professional seeking direction, I provide a tailored, integrative approach to help them develop clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

Thank you for considering me as your therapist in your journey to improving your mental health!  Seeking treatment can be an extremely daunting task, especially within a culture where mental health may not be openly discussed.  This leaves individuals struggling alone with distressing mental health symptoms including anxiety, stress, fear, insecurities, isolation, depression, racing thoughts, poor self-image and many others.  With a lack of support or a safe environment to openly share these experiences, it can be extremely difficult and overwhelming to understand how to manage these symptoms in a healthy way.  This can lead to maladaptive coping skills including substance use, overworking, self-harm, suicidal ideations, hypersexuality, and other risky behaviors.  Even maladaptive coping skills are part of the brain's effort to protect us from the discomfort that comes with mental health symptoms. My goal is to assist empower clients to take control and manage these symptoms independently.  I assist clients with gaining insight about their difficulties and how they experience mental health symptoms in their lives.  I provide clients with psychoeducation to achieve this insight and then work toward developing concrete coping skills in an effort to manage the symptoms.  We will work together to identify short term and long term goals that the client hoping to achieve in therapy and I will ensure that we stay on track toward achieving those goals.  Through accomplishing these goals, clients are able to increase their emotional intelligence and resilience as they manage day to day stressors. I am structured in my approach and committed to seeing progress for my clients as they take on the challenge of self-improvement.  My clinical orientation is in trauma work.  I assist clients with understanding their trauma in their life and how it impacts them today.  I emphasize the unique cultural backgrounds of my clients and all the different traits of their identity to assist them with understanding themselves in a more complete way. In person services available for clients near Santa maria, Ca.  Telehealth services are available for clients throughout the state.  Feel free to reach out directly via phone call or text to discuss scheduling details or to ask any other relevant questions!
