So many of us go through life out of sync with what we truly want and who we are. We say yes when we mean no, avoid rocking the boat, and keep things simple for others—even when it comes at the cost of our own integrity. Over time, we become disconnected, not just from others but from ourselves. Hi, my name is Sienna, and I know this struggle well. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, with a Masters in Counseling, passionate about helping people cultivate deeper, more authentic relationships—with their partners, their communities, and themselves. Through my own journey, education, and professional practice, I have witnessed the ways in which we try to keep ourselves safe by throwing up walls and defenses. Healing isn’t about shutting these parts of ourselves down; it’s about meeting them with curiosity and learning how to move through the world in a way that feels whole, embodied, and aligned.

I'm so glad you're taking this step to prioritize your mental health—it's the foundation of everything else in life. As a mother of three young adults, including boy-girl twins and a neurodivergent daughter, and with experience as a psychologist, coach, and leader in both tech and education, I bring a wide range of lived experience to my work. I work with individuals and families at all stages of life, helping them release outdated mindsets and adopt empowering new ones by uncovering the root causes, patterns, and obstacles that hold them back. My approach integrates neuroscience, cognitive psychology, positive psychology, and depth psychology, always focusing on creating meaningful connections that unlock new possibilities. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. Instead, I hold an unwavering belief in each person’s boundless potential. By focusing on what truly matters, we can always transform challenges into opportunities.

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed clinical psychologist. I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from Rosemead Graduate School of Psychology, an APA-accredited program, in 2008 and became licensed in 2010. I like to delve deep into our attachment styles developed early in life, and explore how it is impacting our current functioning. I believe, and research shows, that the relationship between the therapist and client is the biggest predictor of change. In light of that, I think the therapeutic process can offer corrective experiences, helping us develop a more secure attachment style to navigate through life with.

Trained in a range of therapeutic approaches, I am available to help clients navigate trauma, anxiety, relational issues, and communication. As a first generation Eritrean American born and raised in the Bay Area, I struggled with a sense of belonging throughout my adolescence, often straddling the line between multiple identities and insecurities surrounding the idea of not being “American enough" and not being “African enough.” Early on in college, I took a psychology class that helped me further understand the human condition and its applications in my own life. I learned transformative concepts in terms of moods, relationships, and behaviors, prompting me to further pursue the field of psychology. Since then, I have taken it upon myself to get advanced training in various therapeutic approaches, which I believe help clients get the most out of their therapy experience.

Hi there, I'm Belinda! A gently contained, consistently safe and respectful space to explore your thoughts and emotions that you have never dared to think of twice, nor have ever spoken about-- This is my offering for you. The conversations that happen in this space, and the effort spent on exploring your thoughts and feelings in a kind and curious approach is your offering to yourself. Expectations for you: Simply show up as you are. That's all. Just show up. Expectations for me: I will guide the conversation to places where it may be beneficial for you to explore. Then I will offer my feedback and observations in hopes of you getting a better understanding of yourself (how you think/feel the way you do, where it may have started, and what all this might mean for you in the future). 'Why is this important?'-- Because understanding yourself is the first step to a possible and SUSTAINABLE change. YOU are the common denominator in all your relationships and human connections that you have sole and ABSOLUTE control over. So, if you could see about making small changes in yourself, then you might see positive outcomes in your connections in the world around you. Shall we get started?

My clients tend to be people who want to feel more in control of their emotions, more effective at getting what they want, less stuck, more flexible, more connected and really just more at peace. They seek relief from patterns - sometimes chronic and severe, sometimes only subtly troublesome - of painful emotions, negative self-talk and thoughts, rumination, relationship instability and self sabotaging behaviors.

I understand what it's like to be anxious, to be depressed, or to just feel lost. So I'd like to help you, if I can, to find your way towards wellness, happiness, and a fulfilling life. But I know you need the right help at the right time, and that is my first goal -- to make sure I'm the right therapist for you now. I don't work with all issues, so let's go over that now. And if I'm not the right person, I'll give you referrals for other qualified therapists. I want you to have what you need, and a therapist that is great for you, whether it's me, or someone else. So here's some info on my work: I do work with individuals, and with couples. I don't work with issues of Domestic Violence, Suicidal Ideation, Self Harm, Harm to Others, Addictions, Eating Disorders, Anger Management or any legal issues. What I do work with is self-doubt, anxiety, sadness or depression, and relationship issues. I'm good with helping people heal wounds about themselves. And I love doing relationship work: I believe that love and belonging are most people's priority in life, and if you are on the journey to find that, or need to repair a love you already have, I'm glad to help if I can. I'm familiar with most modalities of therapy. I focus mostly on Strengths-Based work, Narrative Therapy, and Compassion-Based CBT. And I'll be paying close attention to you and engaging in ongoing assessments: how you feel, think and believe are crucial to helping us find what's right for you. So communication is key. We'll talk, we'll listen, we'll collaborate, and we'll work as a team towards getting you to feel better and make choices that honor your needs, and your chosen path.
