You have spent your life being kind, dependable, and doing what is expected, keeping peace and showing up for everyone else. But deep down, you are tired and want to feel seen, understood, and free to make choices that feel like you. I work with women who have learned to stay quiet and put others first even when it meant losing themselves. In sessions, we explore how culture, family, and early experiences shaped you. I use a blend of insight, CBT, and mindfulness to help you find your voice, set boundaries without guilt, and come home to yourself with confidence and compassion.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • California


I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also help people navigating loneliness, work-related stress, and cultural or identity-related experiences, including multiracial relationships. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 10 years of experience in various mental health roles supporting teens, adults, and families through stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, trauma-focused care, DBT skills, mindfulness, solution-focused work, family systems, and humanistic therapy, tailoring sessions to what actually works for you. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more confident navigating real-life challenges.

As a first-generation Latina, breaking generational stigma around mental health is deeply important to me. I’m passionate about providing culturally responsive care that honors identity, family values, and lived experience while creating safe space for healing and growth.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I'm passionate about helping people navigate the deep impacts of trauma, anxiety, and depression. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to carry the weight of painful experiences while trying to function in daily life.

I believe healing happens not by "fixing" people, but by reconnecting you with your inner strength and resilience.

Whether you're struggling with persistent anxiety, feelings of sadness, or the lasting effects of trauma, I will tailor each session to your unique needs and pace.
