Hi there, I'm Belinda!
A gently contained, consistently safe and respectful space to explore your thoughts and emotions that you have never dared to think of twice, nor have ever spoken about-- This is my offering for you.
The conversations that happen in this space, and the effort spent on exploring your thoughts and feelings in a kind and curious approach is your offering to yourself.
Expectations for you: Simply show up as you are. That's all. Just show up.
Expectations for me: I will guide the conversation to places where it may be beneficial for you to explore. Then I will offer my feedback and observations in hopes of you getting a better understanding of yourself (how you think/feel the way you do, where it may have started, and what all this might mean for you in the future).
'Why is this important?'-- Because understanding yourself is the first step to a possible and SUSTAINABLE change. YOU are the common denominator in all your relationships and human connections that you have sole and ABSOLUTE control over.
So, if you could see about making small changes in yourself, then you might see positive outcomes in your connections in the world around you. Shall we get started?

Hello there!
Life is a journey, and we all need help sometimes. Congratulations on making the first step to taking back control over your life. You are brave and courageous to starting this journey and exploring the benefits that therapy provides.
I am a California based Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I became a mental health provider because I believe everyone deserves to have adequate access and have the support to be in good mental health. I love the social work profession and that I can make a real difference in people's lives. I have clinical experience working with diverse populations of youth and adults in multiple behavioral health settings. I am here to support you with the process of getting your life back on track. I truly believe that to experience the best life you can, you must care for all aspects of your health and wellness, which of course includes mental and emotional health. I enjoy using humor when it is appropriate & invite my clients to laugh and share as much as they need to.
I offer telehealth therapy sessions. Telehealth really helps to reduce anxiety and help you get back on track with your life, conveniently from the comfort of your own space. Together, we will work to find ways to get you back on track towards a fulfilled life. You deserve a space to safely and comfortably open, heal, learn, and grow during therapy.

Together, we will challenge ourselves to show up authentically in relationship so we can examine the areas of your life that you would like support in. These areas can often include examining how systemic and cultural factors influence our perception of ourselves, others, and the world.
My hope in our work together is that you'll come away with a renewed sense of self and identity that not only addresses the hardships and challenges you have endured, but also empowers you to affirm your sense of agency, and make your mark on the world.

To others it may seem like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're spinning out of control. Panic randomly punches you in the chest, taking your breath away, and you can't focus on anything else other than how to make it stop. You are consumed by trying to keep up with everyone else since they seem to have it all together, but you can barely function through the day. You feel like an awful mom because you are lashing out on your kids and hating the daily monotony instead of "embracing the joy of motherhood." You feel like you are failing your partner because somewhere along this journey you just lost yourself.
You want to be a better mom to your kids. And remember why you fell in love with your partner. And stop the tornado of anxiety that knocks you out on the regular. You want to stop living by the expectations of others and rediscover who you truly are. It's time to win back some peace of mind and self-worth and attract the life you want.
I have the DBT and mindfulness skills, which uses both mind and body exercises that will help you manage the crippling anxiety, love yourself better, be a more present and joyful mom, improve your relationships, and attract the life you want.

Validation is one of the most important tools I value as a therapist and as a person. I teach clients to self validate, to know what you experienced is true and real. I value the process of creating this safe space where one can see themselves just as they are. I ask for feedback to see if how I respond through validation fits for the client, if they felt heard and validated.

New Orleans, TX - Accepting clients in CA
I am a compassionate EMDR trained psychotherapist who values my clients' time. This career path became of interest to me after my time in the military, where I saw many of my friends' lives destroyed by PTSD. I am now committed to healing and advocacy work for veterans and civilians alike suffering from mental health conditions. If you are willing to put in the effort, I will bring strategies to our sessions with proven success rates, and continually monitor your progress so that I can be sure that you are hitting your personal goals and getting relief from your symptoms.
