Do you feel unseen or unheard? Do you struggle with feeling like you don’t quite belong—or maybe feel disconnected from yourself entirely? Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, juggling societal pressures and cultural and familial expectations. Others carry the weight of childhood or intergenerational trauma. Some struggle with imposter syndrome in their workplaces or post-grad programs, while others long for healthier, more fulfilling relationships—with themselves and those around them. As a professional therapist, I am here to walk alongside you with warmth, humor, and empathy. I aim to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. If you value honest, direct feedback and compassionate encouragement, I am ready to help you navigate life’s challenges confidently and clearly. Are you ready to embrace self-acceptance? To unlock your full potential? To experience more profound healing and fulfillment? I’m ready when you are. Together, we will identify your stressors, develop practical coping skills, and build the resilience to move forward with strength and purpose. I offer therapy in English and Spanish. Let’s connect! Schedule a FREE 15-minute phone consultation or book your first session today to begin your healing journey. I offer a sliding scale for therapy sessions. Contact me to check eligibility.

Congratulations for taking the step to seek counseling. The world we live in is increasingly complex, and we can find ourselves feeling disconnected, stressed, and uncertain about what direction to take. How do we identify solutions for our life’s challenges? How do we let go of stress and sleep at night? As a therapist, I have counseled with individuals and families for over ten years and have found that problem-solving does not have to be stressful, and that we can work through our toughest issues. It is common to believe that people in our relationships, or circumstances in our lives cause us to feel the way we do. But it is our thinking, and the way we relate to people and circumstances, that create our feelings and emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps us observe what we are feeling and identify the thoughts that create our feelings. With increased self-awareness, we determine which of our thoughts and perceptions are distorted and unhelpful. As our thinking becomes more realistic, we feel better. There are several therapy methods that are effective in creating positive change, including Narrative Therapy, Goal Setting, Visioning for Personal Growth, and Mindfulness to promote focus and attention. Let’s engage in a conversation to explore your individual needs, and how best to meet them.

Do you suffer from constant anxiety and or panic attacks? Do you have a history of loss, difficult relationships and other traumatic experiences that hurt when you think about them today? Well, you are not alone. Seeking counseling can be an anxious time for many people, yet I believe it can be the start of a positive and productive experience. I believe joining with my clients to create a therapy experience tailored to their individual needs is important. The therapy sessions will be a safe place to gain new skills to help you live a more prosperous and fulfilling life. I offer online therapy which provides convenience, privacy and affordability all in one place. There are so many different types of situations or experiences that can create a need for therapy. I have experience successfully helping people feel less depressed or anxious, build their parenting skills with strong-willed children, get through difficult life changes, improve their relationship with their partner or friends, and create a less stressful environment for themselves. I am trained in a few research-based treatments for trauma and parenting. I am a Faith Based Christian Therapist. I received my Bachelor's in Social Work from Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland and my Master's in Social Work from Stanislaus State in Turlock, California where I served 5 years as a Professor in the MSW Department teaching on The Effects of Childhood Trauma.

**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.

Whether you are struggling with sadness, finding the energy to do things in life, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, trauma, unhealthy coping, or even masking your emotions; you are capable and you can heal. I truly believe that most people will do well when they know how to do well. It's hard to ask for help and it's hard to accept the help. We just get stuck in the quick fix, easiest option, or the least emotionally draining route. My style towards therapy is direct, relational, and authentic. I won't sugar coat things or tell you what you "want" to hear, and I hope the same from you. This is about you and for you.

I am a psychologist and offer services via telehealth for individuals. Problems come from a network of experiences. In our work together, we will investigate these problems: where they come from, how they are supported, what they may be telling you, how you learned from these problems, ways they can be negotiated, and times when they are not present. Nothing is wrong with you. You are simply dealing with problems the best way you know how. As we explore the problems, you will find fresh perspectives and build alternative ways of responding that enable you to build better relationships and handle problems with increased flexibility. I am an interactive therapist working with you to develop and experience more confidence, focus, and motivation to meet life’s changing demands. I help people who are doing ok on the outside figure out, and understand, why they might feel so overwhelmed on the inside. You can gain insight and clarity and increase your ability to navigate life transitions, anxiety, fear, depression, and/or traumatic experiences that have impacted your quality of life.

Hello kind soul, I'm Brittany! Do you feel like you're on the "struggle bus?" Does life feel heavy, causing you to feel stagnant, or do you find that you're constantly questioning yourself? Are you noticing patterns within your life that may be rooted in trauma that you may or may not have addressed? Are you a member of the BIPOC or LGBTQ+ community searching for a therapist that you actually connect with and makes you feel seen? I have a true passion for unearthing the power within others that inspires them to live authentically as their best selves. Whether it's high functioning anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, or dealing with oppressions of the world- I work side by side with you as we embark on a new functional and fufilling chapter of your journey. I utilize a person centered approach with every client I work with, while integrating evidence based CBT and DBT interventions if necessary. I also have additional training in both of these modalities which allows me to take an active coaching stance. My positive spirit and kind heart serve as the ultimate counterpart in my ability to reflect the truth. Additionally, I have a specialized interest in facilitating therapy with members of the BIPOC community to promote healing. I have nearly a decade of experience working in mental health treatment in a variety of clinical settings such as residential, outpatient, nonprofit, and virtually. I've worked specifically with young adults, adolescents, and adults in life transitions. My experience has granted me the opportunity to work with an array of diagnoses and varying acuity levels. I received my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch university and my pronouns are she/her. In my free time, you can catch me self-caring, traveling, or spending time with my baby girl and partner!

Hello and welcome! I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I provide individual, child, teen, family, and couples therapy, both in person and online. I have clinical experience in a variety of settings and am passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, and cultural identity issues. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and culturally responsive. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, understand your emotions, and build on your strengths. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based techniques, I help clients unlearn negative thought patterns, develop emotional regulation skills, and reconnect with their inner resilience. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or irritable, I will help you find tools to regulate your nervous system and bring balance back into your daily life. If you’ve experienced trauma, we will work together to process or reprocess your experiences in a way that promotes safety and healing. My goal is for you to know that your voice matters — you do not need to suffer in silence. 🌼 A Little About Me I’m a first-generation Mexican American, a mother and dog mom, a lover of nature and a runner. I understand firsthand that change can be difficult and that making time for therapy, self-care, and healing takes courage. Like many of my clients, I have faced life’s obstacles, grief, and stresses — and I believe that healing is possible for everyone. Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but it’s also the beginning of transformation. You already have the ability to heal — and I’m honored to walk beside you on that journey.
