My clinical approach is aligned with "Radical Healing Theory," which encompasses a holistic approach to healing beyond physical health and addresses the underlying causes of suffering and inequality. It acknowledges the interconnectedness of various social, economic, political, and environmental systems and their impact on individual and collective well-being. Radical healing is rooted in critical theory and social justice frameworks. It challenges traditional notions of health and healing by centering marginalized voices and experiences. It seeks to dismantle oppressive structures and promote equity, justice, and liberation.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of experience, specializing in individual, couples, and family therapy. My approach to therapy is rooted in understanding the context in which problems arise and the relationships between the individuals involved. I believe in a "wellness" approach to treatment, which focuses on helping clients tap into their existing strengths and resources.

Accepting clients in CA

Therapy offers a powerful path for positive transformation, and I am honored to walk alongside you. With over a decade of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, I specialize in supporting women navigating trauma, stress, relationship issues, demanding careers and significant life transitions. It has been my life's work to uplift and empower women. Clients often describe my approach as warm and conversational - yet directive. I believe in the effectiveness of weekly sessions for achieving lasting progress. I have additional experience in Feminist Psychology and recovery from high-control groups (i.e. cults, religion, controlling relationships) which can complement our work if relevant. I am also a proud member of the LGBT community.

Hi, I'm Genesis, a therapist dedicated to helping people heal in a deeper, more transformative way. I work with individuals who feel stuck in emotional patterns, struggle with self-doubt, or want to understand themselves on a deeper level. My approach blends insight from the past with practical tools from the present, so you can break free from limiting beliefs and step into a more empowered, authentic version of yourself. Healing isn't just about coping - it's about true self-discovery and growth and I'm here to guide you on that journey.
