I’m a Licensed Clinical Therapist with over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and geriatric populations. I’ve practiced in various settings such as outpatient mental health clinics, in-patient psychiatric hospitals, in-home and virtually. I specialize in anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, anger management issues along with trauma and abuse.
Hi there and great job on taking that first step in considering if therapy is right for you. I invite you to come with me on a journey of your own choosing where we will walk together in darkness to find the light you’ve been seeking. Whether it’s life’s little annoying stressors or more complex issues, as a trauma survivor myself, I know firsthand what this is like and wouldn’t wish it on anyone. Whether you choose me or another therapist, make the choice to just give it a try. Sometimes all you need is another person to hold the light while you do the work you need to heal.
With more than 20 years of experience, I have helped adults, children, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Social Work and believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I see therapy as a partnership, where you set the direction and I provide support, guidance, and encouragement along the way.
If you need support coping with life’s challenges, you are not alone. I help clients gain insight and develop strategies to manage emotions affected by life changes. My goal is to work collaboratively to create healthy ways to respond to obstacles.
I work with anyone navigating adjustment/mood challenges, stress, trauma, grief, and co-occurring disorders. Using an integrative approach, I help clients make sustainable progress toward their goals and overall wellness.
Hi, I'm Aviva, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Life can become difficult when stress, burnout, relationship problems, body image concerns, or past experiences begin to affect your daily life. Sometimes people seek therapy because they are exhausted from trying to manage everything on their own. I believe in working together to create solutions that will give a different perspective or a way to break patterns that no longer work for them. I have experience with patterns that no longer suit you and have learned methods to work through them.
I have over fifteen years of experience in the education field as an TA, counselor, and school social worker. I really enjoy individual and group counseling and have worked with K-12 and some parents and adults. I am drawn to resiliency and to helping others understand their own self-worth and strengths. I enjoy seeing others transform.
I am a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to helping you heal and reclaim your life. I have over 20 years of experience treating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and stress related to major life transitions. I specialize in trauma-focused therapy, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe in providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can process difficult experiences at your own pace. I am passionate about helping you find hope, healing, and renewed purpose in your life.
Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I believe therapy should be a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Together, we’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, build on your strengths, and work toward the changes that matter most to you. My goal is for you to feel heard, supported, and empowered throughout the process.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) with over 8 years of clinical experience delivering compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care to individuals navigating some of life's most challenging mental health experiences. I provide compassionate, client-centered psychiatric care via telehealth across California, including assessment, diagnosis, and treatment through evidence-based therapy and medication management. With a clinical focus, I take a collaborative, personalized approach to help you feel heard, supported, empowered and I am committed to delivering high-quality, culturally sensitive mental health care.
My practice is rooted in a genuine belief that every person, regardless of their diagnosis, background, or life history, deserves high-quality, individualized psychiatric care delivered with dignity and respect. I am a certified trauma-informed specialist with extensive clinical training in Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar, OCD, Schizophrenia, Anger Management, Self esteem, Insomnia, Post-traumatic stress disorder, Mood disorders, PTSD Personality disorders, Phobias, Coping skills and offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with supportive counseling for substance use and co-occurring conditions. I diagnose and administer psychotherapeutic treatments and medications to address mental, emotional, and behavioral health disorders, always with the full context of a patient's life at the center of my clinical decision-making.
