Throughout my career, I have witnessed the extraordinary power and strength we all possess to overcome whatever obstacles or trials we are presented in life. When we’re faced with crisis, trauma, transition, or stress, we naturally seek comfort and support to get us through. While we often find this from family or friends, sometimes we need extra support and guidance to help us work through these complex issues. It is my belief that therapy is a partnership, and if you’re ready for help, together we can make strides in achieving your goals. Real and enduring change requires fresh thinking and different approaches to your old problems. If I sound like a good fit for you, it would be a privilege to support you during your journey of overall wellness.

And oftentimes, the toughest part is deciding to reach out for support.

About Are you feeling unfulfilled in your relationships, choices, and just life? Those who feel detached from those around them often believe they're a burden and bring no value to those around them. If any of that resonated with you, you may feel disconnected from different areas of your life, such as work, relationships, family, and interests. Many individuals go through life never feeling like they belong and lack fulfillment, joy, and a sense of identity. You're here looking to finally put yourself first, to find a sense of satisfaction in your life, and I'd love to be part of that journey so you no longer feel alone. I take great pride in helping individuals find their sense of belonging and overcoming deep negative schemas that they aren't worthy of love. I do this by helping you work through those fears of abandonment, criticism, and rejection. Forming healthy relationships and attachments are instrumental in my approach, and you'll never feel alone. Life is challenging, and it's an even bigger struggle when we are our worst enemies. You may feel like a burden to those around you, but you won't have to feel that way in our therapeutic relationship. I invite you to have a free 15-minute consultation with me to ask any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to being part of your journey.

​​Therapy for ADHD (Please note: I only provide therapy to Adults (18-64) that have been officially diagnosed with ADHD/ADD) You try so hard to get things right, but no matter how hard you try, there always seems to be something you forgot to do or a mistake you didn’t realize you made. You believe there’s something wrong with you because other people don’t seem to struggle to do everyday tasks as much as you. You’re often left feeling disappointed and dissatisfied at the end of the day because you feel there was more you should have done. You’re completely overwhelmed with the amount of things you have to do that you don’t even know where to start. So you end up spending your time scrolling through your phone, watching tv, shopping, and playing games. Before you know it, it’s already 2:00 am, even though you promised yourself you were going to bed early tonight. But even when you try to sleep, you can't, because your brain just won't stop thinking about everything and anything You’ve been told by others that you’re just being lazy and you aren’t trying hard enough. So you’re constantly overexerting yourself and feeling burned out because you believe your best isn’t good enough. You try so hard to pretend everything is okay.. that you’re okay, and nothing’s wrong until you ultimately reach a breaking point where you can no longer pretend and it blows up in your face. Then you just go back to pretending that everything is fine again. You’ve become used to this cycle, but recently it’s gotten worse and it’s really starting to affect your work and your relationships. You’re tired of working so hard just to get caught up, only to end up right back in the same place over and over again. You want to stop feeling like you’re a complete failure at life every time something doesn’t turn out how you planned. You want to find someone who understands the way your brain works and why you do the things you do.

Hi I am Kao, I firmly believe that as humans we have an innate desire for growth and balance. Unfortunately, often we physically respond to ingrained negative cues and messages that get stuck in our body. Many times these old cues manifest themselves in our body as anxiety, depression, and other trauma responses. It can feel like we are living life just trying to cope with the loudness of these negative messages. What if instead of just gaining tools to “cope” with these trauma responses, we could eliminate them all together? How might your life look? My hope is that in our work together we will be able to address wounds and move towards healing so that you don’t have to “cope” anymore. Instead you can thrive and have a sense of self-awareness that brings constant peace and clarity.

I find fulfillment in aiding adults who are striving to regain the chance to foster emotional and relational harmony. In my work with individuals on their mental and functional health, life stages, spiritual and relational paths, I employ both evidence-based and unconventional strategies that are customized to your unique needs and overall wellness. My practice is dedicated to helping individuals recognize their buried emotions and transform unhealthy internal dialogue, viewpoints, and actions. Through a variety of methods and interventions, I guide clients in revealing persistent negative thoughts, understanding their roots, and developing new thought and emotional patterns. By concentrating on how individuals perceive their self-concepts and interpersonal connections, I encourage clients to release detrimental thought habits and reformulate their mental approach, thereby diminishing self-criticism and anxiety, and enhancing communication across all areas of life. This is accomplished by offering a non-judgmental and secure environment, attentively listening to your issues, and tailoring interventions to assist you in achieving your objectives. Currently accepting adult individual session appointments.

Hola! I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist committed to providing high- quality care through convenient telehealth sessions. Since 2017, I have helped adults, children, and families navigate depression, stress, anxiety, major life events, and issues specific to the Latinx, BIPOC, and immigrant communities. I aim to create a therapeutic experience that is truly your own. Recognizing diverse experiences and backgrounds, I tailor interventions to be both culturally sensitive and responsive to each person's unique situation. I use a holistic, strength-based, and integrative perspective to address the whole person within their environment, rather than isolated symptoms. Using techniques from approaches like CBT and Mindfulness within a Person-Centered framework, I will help support and empower you in recognizing your resilience and provide tools for positive change, resulting in a more fulfilling life.

Hello and welcome. First of all, I would like to congratulate you on your courage to take the first step in selecting a therapist. The thought of sharing intimate thoughts, struggles, and personal experiences can be overwhelming and frightening. I hope to help you feel confident that you have come to the right place to express your needs and work on feeling better. I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I have over 11 years experience in providing services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, trauma and other challenges. I have had the pleasure of working in various settings. For almost seven years, I worked at a community mental health agency treating children, adolescents, adults, and families with a variety of needs especially those who have experienced trauma. I have found that each individual comes with their unique story and background. I started seeing clients out of my area when the pandemic started and found I could help more clients using the telehealth platforms. This inspired me to continue to reach those clients who desire telehealth for various reasons. Life can be busy with schedules and finding time for therapy is not always easy. Telehealth can make therapy a little easier.

I bring many years of life experience to my work as a therapist: Knowing the pain and difficulties of maintaining a relationship, working on a career path that sometimes frustrates us, experiencing the stuck feeling of anxiety or depression, feeling the loss of a loved one, speaking different languages and understanding cross-cultural issues, wanting more out of life without knowing exactly what that is. I worked in a lot of different fields - along with my work as a psychotherapist.
