Do you often feel missed by the people in your life? When you look forward does it sometimes feel impossible to experience something new? As an Authentic Relating Facilitator, Nonviolent Communication Practitioner, and Licensed Therapist, I have a deep desire to attune to you and your world. Together we can illuminate the patterns and roads blocks that you have been experiencing. You need to know where you are to get to where you want to go. We can build a map to get you there. Once we have a map of where we are headed, we will practice the skills needed to get to your desired life. Some of the skills we will use to navigate the terrain are mindfulness, somatic and mind-body practices, written word exploration, feelings and needs awareness, and vision/goals work. Ready to take the journey? Schedule a free consultation to answer any questions you may have. You know the way, and I’d be honored to accompany you.

I have worked in private practice and the school systems providing Educationally Related Mental Health Services (ERMHS) for almost 25 years. During this time I founded a small business where my team and I provide these mental health services individually and in groups on-site to school districts all over Sonoma County, CA. I love working with children k-12 and their families. I have worked in non-public schools, public schools, and privately with at-risk youth and their families. This has been my passion my whole career. I have been married to my lovely wife for 20 years, together for 27 years and we have two beautiful children. Our son is 16 and our daughter is 13. I enjoy all things outdoors. I surfed competitively in my youth and I love mountain biking, snowboarding and anything that has to do with water, but my main love is spending time with my family.

I am a 54 year old bi-culutral father of two adolescents in the year 2025. With all of the social pressures that our families have been subject to, it's never been more important to be close and listen to each other. Social disconnect is the new pandemic and the challenges that interefere with social connection are the same ones driving our sense of faulty connection and confusion with pleasure and happiness.

Bienvenidas! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) serving clients in California and Colorado. My practice is rooted in a fat liberation lens, which means I actively support you in dismantling internalized and societal fatphobia to cultivate a compassionate relationship with your body. I provide a nurturing space to process life transitions, career changes, burnout, and the journey of becoming a cycle-breaker—particularly within the BIPOC community. As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, I hold deep respect for those who are new to therapy or returning to it. My goal is to create a culturally-grounded, safe environment where you can heal and grow. I am also trained in Brainspotting, a powerful tool we can use to access and process deep emotional pain and trauma that traditional talk therapy may not reach.

All things are interconnected. To feel better, you have to act better. To feel better, you have to think better. To think better, you have to feel better. To act better, you have to think better. To think, feel, and act better, you have to care for your physical health. To care for your physical health, you have to think, feel, and act better. Each has a corresponding effect on the other. However, the aspect of ourselves that we have the most direct control of is what we do, our acting. While we can influence other people, we cannot control other people. A great source of conflict and unhappiness results from our efforts to control others. If you want better relationships, the only thing we can control is what we do, how we choose to relate. We are responsible for what we do. Others are responsible for what they do. Accepting this fundamental reality and thinking, feeling, and acting in accordance with it is how we increase our experience of power, freedom, belonging, meaning and, very importantly, fun. My professional experience includes over 30 years of post-Master’s clinical work, including leadership experience in foster care, chemical abuse and addiction, inpatient and outpatient mental health services, and crisis intervention, de-escalation, and hospitalization. I am experienced in working with ages three through the elderly. I have worked extensively with youth and families, diverse populations and life issues, providing services in various settings, including family homes, schools, juvenile detention facilities, jails, outpatient clinics, and inpatient psychiatric facilities.

Hello and welcome. I am a bilingual (Spanish-speaking) psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults, adolescents, couples, and families navigate trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, shame, and major life transitions. My approach is rooted in depth psychotherapy, which means we explore not only symptoms, but the deeper emotional patterns, early experiences, and unconscious narratives that shape how we live and relate to others. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful and lasting change. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from University of San Francisco. I also completed four years of doctoral training in depth psychotherapy at Pacifica Graduate Institute. In addition, I have specialized training in expressive arts therapy through John F. Kennedy University and extensive experience working with survivors of domestic violence through training with the Marjaree Mason Center.

My journey to becoming a therapist was deeply personal. For a long time, I struggled to find my true meaning and purpose on this earth. That changed entirely when I began working with individuals with cognitive disabilities. Witnessing their resilience and realizing that I could make a tangible, positive impact in someone’s life gave me a profound motivation to live and thrive. It sparked a passion for human connection that shapes everything I do today. I believe that the most impactful therapy starts with a genuine, down-to-earth connection. As a LMFT, my approach is less about being a rigid mentor and more about being a trusted, supportive collaborator. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and truly comfortable—much like talking with a close friend who has the professional tools to help you navigate life's challenges. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and individuals in their 20s and 30s who are navigating life transitions, relationship dynamics, and identity development. Additionally, I bring a unique and deeply patient perspective to my practice as the founder of a company that specializes in relationship training for individuals with cognitive disabilities. This background has honed my ability to meet clients exactly where they are, offering exceptional patience, tailored communication, and practical tools for building healthy connections. Whether you are working through personal growth, relationship hurdles, or everyday stress, we will work together at a pace that feels right for you.

I am a licensed clinician dedicated to helping individuals break free from stuck patterns, navigate complex trauma, and build stable, fulfilling lives. My practice focuses heavily on adult mental health, substance use recovery, and specialized behavioral tracks—specifically treating pornography addiction, intimacy challenges, and compulsive, sexualized coping loops. I recognize that deeply stigmatized or complex challenges often carry overwhelming shame, which is why my clinical space is entirely non-judgmental, collaborative, and objective. By integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with body-based Somatic Therapy, I help you heal both the mind and a dysregulated nervous system. Together, we look beyond baseline talk therapy to restore your personal autonomy, expand your distress tolerance, and create real, lasting behavioral integrity. You don't have to navigate these heavy stressors alone; I am here to work alongside you as a dedicated teammate.

Tenets of CBT, DBT, & solution focused approaches are always incorporated. The depth oriented approaches, such as psychoanalysis, are also integrated to facilitate transformative therapeutic engagements. We will initially work on building safety and trust, which is the base of any successful therapy.

Hello, I’m Maria Fernanda Perez, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have worked in a helping capacity for over 22 years. I specialize in working with violence and trauma survivors, teens, adults who have experienced challenges in their lives. I support individuals, couples and families who desire to develop a deeper connection to their body and understanding their actions and behaviors. For many of my clients this looks like symptoms of high sensitivity, anxiety, depression, and trauma interfering with their ability to connect with themselves. My traditional mental health and somatic work background has given me a solid foundation in helping others to better finding their inner self. I help my clients build a bridge between their adult self and their inner child through exploration and understanding.

Hi, my name is Ariane and I am a California-based LCSW. Outside of therapy, I love being active to stay sane including running and hiking, as well as crocheting when I'm inside! I've always got a a novel I'm working my way through as well. I earned my Masters at the University of Illinois but returned to my home-state to further my career.

I meet clients where they are at and work together while providing an outside perspective and psycho-education as needed.

My clients tend to be people who want to feel more in control of their emotions, more effective at getting what they want, less stuck, more flexible, more connected and really just more at peace. They seek relief from patterns - sometimes chronic and severe, sometimes only subtly troublesome - of painful emotions, negative self-talk and thoughts, rumination, relationship instability and self sabotaging behaviors.
