Hello! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California with 5 years of clinical experience. I strive to create a supportive, affirming space where you can explore challenges and work toward a more fulfilling life. My approach focuses on helping you build a healthy and grounded sense of self, deepen emotional awareness, and connect with your personal strengths. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a powerful method for processing trauma and reducing emotional distress. In my spare time, I enjoy playing pickleball, checking out local events, and being active outdoors.

Hello and Welcome! Are there moments in your life where you wished things could go better? Have you noticed changes in being able to connect with yourself (mind/body) or being able to connect with others (friends, family, new acquaintances)? Have you wondered what's wrong with your self-care? What habits are interfering with leveling up? I want to start by recognizing the tremendous courage and step forward in seeking therapy. I utilize a whole person, strength based, and compassionate approach to understanding your problems. My goal is to support you by listening and helping you find solutions that will work for you. I utilize a cultural humility and solutions focused approach to ensure that you are in the driver seat and I can be your headlights in reaching that destination. I pull from a variety of evidence-based practices and consider myself eclectic in style. In our sessions, therapy should feel natural, conversational, safe and overall be a space to promote healing.

Hello! My name is Jay and I've been a licensed therapist in California since 2010. I have helped clients who are dealing with stress and anxiety, past and recent trauma, problems in their relationships, grief and loss, life transitions, and are struggling with self esteem and confidence. At this time, I work with adult individual clients via teletherapy. Before working as a counselor, I had another, very different career, as an engineer. Although I switched out of that profession, I greatly value the critical thinking and problem solving skills that I learned while studying and working as an engineer. I think that those skills make me a better therapist.

**ACCEPTING ADULTS (18+) ONLY** Hi, I'm Yang. And I'm here to help you heal from self-abandonment and emotional dysregulation. Self-abandonment occurs when we struggle to stand up for our needs and live by our authentic values; often, we don't even know what they are. Those who struggle with self-abandonment don't feel like they know who they really are, and what they want, and often feel directionless and ungrounded. We feel small, afraid, anxious, aggressive and dependent on others. Emotional dysregulation occurs when we don't understand our emotions and how to manage them. They control us, instead of the other way around. We behave in ways we wish we didn't, and we build up shame around those behaviors as if they are who we are. We cannot separate our emotions from who we are. These issues often lie at the heart of different mental health struggles, such as depression, anxiety, as well as many relationship challenges. The good news is that resolving these, therefore, can potentially lead to ripple effects of change in your life.

With your permission, I help to hold the container for deeper exploration and healing. I am a trauma-based therapist certified in EMDR and versed in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

I am sensitive to the impact of one's social, physical and cultural environment as well as systems of oppression. Clients say my approach is warm, relational, collaborative, strengths-based and trauma-informed.

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.

Hello! My name is Jordan. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I am motivated to help individuals and families build healthier relationships with themselves and the people around them. Being open and vulnerable with someone new can be very scary! My goal is to create a meaningful relationship with my clients by providing support, respect, and a safe environment to help build confidence, compassion, and resilience. I support clients who experience anxiety, depression, past trauma, non-traditional relationships, and neurodivergence. I also support families who are struggling with parent-child conflicts, LGBTQ+ youth and how to support them, and young children with behavior problems. If you find yourself suffering in your relationships or life in general, let’s work as a team to find helpful solutions! Together, we can build tools and work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your struggles, help you to deal with life’s hardships, and support you building meaningful social connections and relationships. It is important to me that you know I am human too, so from me, you will receive authenticity, humor, and realness. I have experience working in community mental health and school based counseling. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults. I am always attempting to grow my knowledge in many areas within the mental health field, as I know generations, cultures, trends and humans are always evolving. I have a huge passion for learning through experiencing new cultures. I have been fortunate enough to volunteer in five different countries around the world and I feel I have grown both professionally and personally during all of these opportunities. I look forward to supporting you in whatever hopes, dreams and goals you have for yourself.

Hi, I’m Candace — a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s in Community Counseling from Lakeland University and a Bachelor’s in Sociology from UW-Stevens Point. I’m a straightforward, no-fluff therapist who believes the best work happens when you feel safe enough to be fully yourself. My clients often tell me I’m not a “typical” therapist — and they’re right. I’m progressive, direct, sometimes sarcastic, and always focused on creating a space where you don’t have to pretend. I work well with people who want honesty, humor, and real conversations — whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship issues, burnout, identity exploration, or just feeling stuck. I’m an animal lover (my dogs are basically coworkers), I have tattoos, and I’m not easily rattled. You won’t shock me, and you don’t have to filter yourself here. If you’re looking for a therapist who keeps it real, creates a safe space, and isn’t afraid to challenge you when needed — with compassion and maybe a little dry humor — I might be a good fit.

Hello! I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in private practice with more than 10 years of experience working with adult individuals and couples. My speciality is the ability to use my training and experience in ways clients need and want; in other words, not a one-size-fits-all approach. I have found that talk therapy as part of a holistic approach to well-being works best for most people. Recently, I have discovered the benefits AI can add to this process and am excited about the possibilities it provides.
