Therapists in California

Hey, I'm Olivia! Are you ready to laugh, cry and create a connection with someone who is not going to give you cookie-cutter responses? Then keep reading. I am passionate about creating a safe space for my clients to throw it all out on the table, be met with compassion and validation and begin to piece together what they want to keep and what they want to toss. Many times in our lives, we put on certain identities and expectations that may not be ours but we keep them on out of comfort, fear, habit, you name it. I am here to help you sift through the pieces of you that you know but also become curious about the parts of yourself that you do not know. During that process, you can begin to find power in your choices and practice the art of being able to decide for yourself who it is you want to be. The stories you have come to believe about yourself are worth exploring and together, we can build a relationship where I will challenge those beliefs with you and assist you in building confidence to shift into your most authentic and understood self.

Experiencing adversity is part of the human experience, and everyone deserves a safe space to heal and thrive. Whether you're facing communication challenges, wanting to further develop insight, or managing traumatic responses, I am here to support. Together, we will work towards solutions that promote resilience, connection, and well-being. At the foundation of all goals, I hope to instill and restore a sense of safety, trust, and empowerment in your life. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about advocacy and education surrounding trauma-informed care. I believe in the importance of raising awareness and reducing stigma surrounding mental health and trauma, and I actively engage in community outreach and attend regular training initiatives to stay abreast current events.

Are you struggling with the symptoms post-partum, anxiety, feelings of abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, and challenges with parenting? With over 18 years of experience utilizing evidence-based therapies, I am confident in personalizing my approach to cater to your needs and facilitate your healing process. As a therapist, I am dedicated to creating a safe and welcoming atmosphere where clients can address any obstacles related to anxiety, depression, women's issues, or emotional exhaustion. My primary focus is to help clients establish healthy communication boundaries with themselves and others, which can significantly improve their quality of life. Additionally, I am experienced with the emotional, mental, and behavioral conditions that affect children, who need to be treated differently from adults due to cognitive levels and maturity. Because of this, I used various types of therapy techniques based on your child's age and unique situation. These therapies can help your child develop coping skills, improve social interactions, and better manage emotions. Depending on your child's age and needs, I may work directly with you (or guardians) to enhance parenting skills or effectively address your child's behaviors. By seeking counseling, you can work towards personal growth and development in any aspect of your life that you wish to improve. If you're ready to talk and start your journey towards a healthier you, I'm here to support you every step of the way. **Habla Español**

We were never taught how to be in a relationship. Yes there are tons of books of how to, however to put them to practical use can be very difficult. If you want to be in a relationship that last 50 yrs then communication and empathy has to be at the core of a successful partnership. This can also relate to a relationship with a family member, friends or co-workers. Sometimes our own mental health can influence all of our relationships, and you may need coping techniques for anxiety and or depression type symptoms. I am here to help beit coping strategies for anxiety and depression symptoms or learning how to communicate more effectively with others.

It is an honor to be a therapist, and I am dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those I have the opportunity to work with.

I am glad you are taking time to get to know me. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have my M.S. in clinical psychology from San Francisco State University and my undergrad in psychology from Purdue University. I have worked in San Francisco for seventeen years with multicultural families and individuals that have been in crisis. I have worked with a multitude of differing diagnosis and problems over this extensive period of time. I take such pride in helping families and individuals live a better life and obtain their desired goals. I am glad to have been around in my job long enough to have observed the positive results my contributions have made. I am passionate in wanting to help alleviate suffering and I stay determined in doing so.

I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist helping my clients find more congruency and peace in their lives. People often believe that their feelings of anxiety and depression are their individual problem or failure, but very often these feelings are just a normal response to a challenging world. They come to their first session worried that they are crazy or deficient in some way, but they’re not. You don’t have to feel this way. I can help you develop understandings about how you are responding to your world, how you are making meaning of your life and how those meanings might be causing you to feel anxious, sad, hopeless, and frustrated. I have decades of experience helping people create lives that feel safe, meaningful, and more joyfully aligned with who they are and what they want.
