Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it’s easy to lose sight of what truly matters. Reaching out for support is a powerful and courageous step toward healing and emotional well-being. I am deeply familiar with the quiet pain that often precedes this decision, and I honor the bravery it takes to embark on a journey of self-discovery. As a therapist, I believe in walking alongside my clients with empathy, respect, and curiosity. My approach is collaborative and culturally responsive—I strive to honor each person’s unique background, values, and lived experience. I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where your story can be heard, held, and explored with care. My therapeutic work is grounded in Postmodern and strengths-based practices, particularly Narrative Therapy. I also draw from other approaches depending on each client’s goals and needs, tailoring treatment to support your growth and resilience.

Over the years, I’ve supported clients across various settings, including private practice, community clinics, and nonprofit organizations. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and supporting women through transitions such as infertility, pregnancy, motherhood, and divorce. I also work with individuals navigating cultural identity and acculturation-related stress. It is a profound honor to be allowed to hold space for your story and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey. *I am also fluent in Farsi and welcome clients who prefer to speak in their native language.*

As a Licensed Clinical social Worker with over 20 years of experience, I specialize in supporting women and adolescents navigate challenges related to life transitions, medical conditions, trauma and career challenges.

Hi, I’m Natalie! I’m a Northern California-based Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works individually with adults. I believes therapy is most effective when it feels like a genuine, supportive relationship. Real progress happens when you feel comfortable, understood, and connected—and that’s always where I begin. My clinical background includes school-based mental health, hospice, community-mental health and private practice, which allows me to meet a wide range of experiences. My style is warm, relaxed, and non-judgmental. I focus on building authentic connections and letting you take the lead at a pace that feels right. At the same time, I’m not afraid to ask thoughtful questions, offer supportive challenges, and use humor to lighten the process when it fits. I view you as the expert of your own life, and my role is to help you recognize and build on your strengths. While I prefer an unstructured, conversational approach, I also draw on evidence-based practices for skill-building and support when helpful. Together, we’ll work to identify tools and strategies that support your well-being and help you feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.

Change is hard, not having the tools, direction and support make the process even harder. I can help you identify areas that may be keeping you stuck. I also provide wellness and behavioral health coaching in addition to traditional therapy. The atmosphere that is created in the therapy session is one of warmth, safety, and acceptance. I have a straightforward, interactive approach to treatment. I am passionate about my work and strongly believe in the healing benefits of therapy. Reach out to me, I’d love to help you help heal, connect, & thrive. Together we can create the life you want.

Sometimes, life can be a bit daunting. Between big life decisions, tragedies, and even days when nothing seems to go right, it's easy to get down, anxious, and feel overwhelmed. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, life's transitions, or need a space of their own to share openly free from bias or judgement. Life can be a struggle, why go at it alone? I can help you reach your goals and be a support along the way.

Hi there! Nice to meet you. My name is Ryan and I am really glad you are here. I’m not your stereotypical “sit and nod” kind of therapist—I like to keep things real, down-to-earth, and maybe even a little fun when it feels right. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, without fear of being judged or “too much.” I work with both teens and adults, using a person-centered approach that focuses on you—your story, your strengths, and your pace. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or figuring out life as a neurodivergent person in a world that doesn’t always get it, we’ll work together to make sense of what’s been heavy and find ways to lighten the load. I’m here to help you understand yourself better, build self-trust, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and authentic. Therapy with me is a mix of empathy, honesty, and humor. Some days it’s deep reflection; other days it’s simply finding a moment of calm in the chaos. I believe growth doesn’t have to mean changing who you are—it’s about reconnecting with who you’ve always been. Outside of sessions, I’m usuall spending time at the gym, with my dog that I am training to be my service dog, my latest crochet project, thrifting, mindfulness exercises or in my own therapy. If you’re looking for a therapist who’s approachable, open-minded, and genuinely invested in helping you feel understood, I’d love to meet you.

Do you feel lost, stuck, burned out, or afraid of the unknown? Do you struggle with self-compassion and maintaining healthy boundaries? Are you looking for a space where you can show up fully as yourself? Through a relational lens that recognizes the importance of the mind-body-soul connection, I can assist you in uncovering and working through patterns, thoughts, and experiences that are no longer serving you while re-awakening joy, connection, curiosity, and ease. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a catalyst for reflection, change, personal development, and growth. It is my honor to hold space for healing and self-discovery to unfold at a pace that is directed by you. Choosing a therapist is a deeply personal decision that takes time and care. Schedule a free phone consultation if you'd like to connect and determine if we are the right fit for each other. I look forward to speaking with you!
