Keaau, CA - Accepting clients in CA

Hola~Aloha Welcome, Bienvenidos y E komo mai! I’m a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Art Therapist (ATR), Clinical Eco-Therapist, Certified 500 hour Yoga Teacher, and a Holy Fire Reiki Master. I help people improve their lives by increasing mindful awareness of one’s thought and speech patterns that perpetuate limitations. Together, we’ll cultivate mindfulness, reframe beliefs, and create opportunities for growth and empowerment. Rooted in my diverse Native American Mexica, Spanish, and European heritage, I bring a holistic, culturally grounded approach to therapy sessions. My personal Souljorn has taken me across Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the Hawaiian Islands, where I explored culture, permaculture, meditation, various healing arts, spirituality, and indigenous ceremonies. These experiences frame and influence my life and therapy work. I am inspired to help clients align with their Higher Self and conscious awareness. My Bachelor’s degree is in Ethnic Studies from UC Berkeley and my Master’s in Psychology and Art Therapy, where I studied neuroplasticity and techniques like Art Therapy and later found the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or tapping. The EFT approach helps acknowledge unhelpful thoughts and emotions, so you can honor and release them instead of avoiding them. This empowers one to transform and shift challenging thoughts and emotions and experience change. In my early career I worked in community clinics, schools, homes, and wilderness therapy programs. Now I primarily provide services online to California residents in private practice. If you are ready, let us assess your needs and desires and identify your goals. Whether you’re seeking to release old patterns, deepen your connection to yourself, and embrace your experience and or embrace new possibilities, I’m here to support your healing journey with compassion, care and purpose. The time for transformation is now. We are the ones we have been waiting for! If this connects for you, let us begin! Aloha

Corning, CA - Accepting clients in CA

Hello, I was born and raised in Stockton, California. I enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps at the age of 17 and in 1997, after 25 yeas of service, I retired from the Marine Corps as a Master Sergeant. After retiring from the Marine Corps, I worked as a Farrier (Horseshoer), as well as a structural welder (Ironworker), as those were the most marketable skill that I had. I came to a point where old injuries came back to haunt me and I could no longer walk (several years later, thanks to a surgery through the VA, I can walk again; thankful for that). At this point, I changed professions and out of a desire to work with veterans, I returned to school, accomplishing all that was necessary to become a licensed counselor. I spent another career working for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, specifically as a counselor in the Readjustment Counseling Service (Vet Center). I recently retired from the Vet Center and now I work part-time here with Grow Therapy. As a retired Marine senior staff Non-Commissioned Officer (SNCO) and disabled combat veteran myself, the Vet Center was the perfect job. Vet Centers provide readjustment counseling to combat veterans and provide counseling to survivors of military sexual trauma (MST). Vet Centers also provide group counseling, bereavement counseling and couples counseling when this is determined to be of support to the veteran. Readjustment counseling many times consists of treating/addressing symptoms related to post-traumatic stress (PTSD), I.e., anxiety, depression, exaggerated startle response, hypervigilance, sleep disturbance, etc. Many veterans go on to work as first responders and working with many first responders as well as medical personal, has provided me with a great deal of additional experience.

My ideal client is someone who needs help reaching their highest potential and decrease emotional suffering. They should be ready and willing to begin receiving guidance on how to reach their peak.

Oakland, CA - Accepting clients in CA

As a therapist, I am passionate about providing space for my clients to explore the full range of their experiences and to find more satisfaction, authenticity, and connection in their lives. I would be honored to accompany you (or your child) on the path toward that place. I tend to see the majority of behaviors and patterns that cause distress as creative ways we have learned to cope with life experiences, cultural and familial legacies, relationships, and social influences. My goal is to join with you and collaborate together to create a space of empathy, curiosity, and safety that is adaptive to your unique needs, helps you uncover the wisdom behind your distress, and encourages you in making the changes you seek.
