Here's a hard truth about psychotherapy: Even with all the different approaches out there, studies tell us it rarely results in lasting positive change for those that seek it. Ouch. That's why I specialize in intensive short-term psychotherapy. It has been shown to help people find the roots of their emotional difficulties, and work through them in briefer time frames. Working session-to-session, each encounter is structured to get the most out of it. No need for lengthy intake assessments: We can get clarity on your troubles in the very first meeting. Why wait years for greater peace of mind if you don't have to?

A quote that has always brought me courage, "Into the Great Perhaps," moves us to embrace the unknown. It's an invitation to dream and a challenge to have the courage to step into uncertainty. This concept deeply resonates with my therapeutic approach. I emphasize that embracing uncertainty is where growth and transformation occur. In therapy, we'll explore the uncharted territories of your thoughts, emotions, and relationships and view life's challenges as opportunities for personal growth. Together, we'll journey toward self-discovery and personal development. Life is filled with uncertainties, and navigating the intricacies of relationships can often resemble an unmapped voyage. Yet, within these unknowns lies the potential for healing and transformation. Let's uncover what the "Great Perhaps" means for you.

Hi! My name is Megan. I am an avid reader and currently building my own home library. I have experience working with all ages and all severity levels. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I love Halloween and all things spooky! I love seeing clients work through their struggles and come out on the other side, reaching their goals! I know how scary starting therapy can be. I really try to individualize treatment so that everyone gets what they need.

Hi, I'm Celina. As a second-generation Latina, I bring an informed perspective to the challenges many communities of color face, including the impact of systemic inequities, identity struggles, and cultural barriers. I also know that everyone—no matter their background—can experience moments in life that feel overwhelming. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of past trauma, or maybe the stress of everyday life feels like too much. The important thing to remember is that you don’t have to go through it alone. Reaching out for support is not always easy, but it’s a powerful and courageous step toward healing and growth. For years, I’ve dedicated myself to serving my community in a variety of settings, from community clinics to crisis counseling. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+, as well as with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and other life transitions. My work as a 911 crisis counselor especially taught me the importance of holding space during life’s most difficult moments. I believe that everyone's story matters and I’m here to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore and heal. Together, we can build insight, break patterns, and create new paths forward. My goal is to walk beside you on your journey toward wellness so that when you leave, you feel empowered, grounded, and ready for what's ahead.

Hi, I’m Stephanie, a trauma therapist dedicated to supporting individuals through healing, growth, and self-discovery. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, and the challenges of everyday life — whether you're facing a major transition, feeling overwhelmed by stress, or simply needing space to reconnect with yourself. Above all, I aim to provide a warm, open, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe enough to be fully yourself. I believe that therapy works best when you feel genuinely seen and supported. Through our work together, we will focus on building effective coping skills, deepening self-awareness, and developing the tools needed to manage life’s challenges with greater confidence and resilience.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California, with over 14 years of experience in the field. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC), and my passion is supporting Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) adult women through healing and life transitions. My approach is rooted in cultural competence and empathy, recognizing the unique challenges faced by BIPOC women in navigating both personal and professional struggles. Whether you're feeling stuck in your career, struggling with self-doubt, or looking to heal from emotional wounds, I create a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences and find the tools to move forward with confidence. Throughout my practice, I integrate evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a holistic understanding of identity, culture, and resilience. My goal is to empower you to break through barriers, build healthier relationships, and live a life aligned with your values and aspirations.
