Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Laguna Beach, CA

I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work, and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), working in private practice as a Psychotherapist. I live in Los Angeles, and work in-person or hybrid, with adults, teens, couples and the aging population. I specialize in anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, work stress/dissatisfaction, career goals, sleep disorders, substance use, trauma (ptsd/complex/acute), obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD/OCPD), attention deficit disorders (ADD/ADHD). In addition I deal with grief, isolation, and breaking creative blocks.

My passion lies in working with clients who need assistance with personal empowerment and identity development. My goal is to instill hope by identifying areas of strength, resilience, and capacity for positive change. Effective therapy takes effort and commitment from both the therapist and the client.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 4 years of experience. I have experience working with clients facing a variety of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, adjustment difficulties, trauma-related concerns, and postpartum disorders. I provide evidence-based psychotherapy that supports emotional wellbeing, healthy coping skills, and personal growth in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

My therapeutic approach is integrated and tailored to meet your unique needs. I often draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational interviewing.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Aurora, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

As you begin your therapy journey, I’d love to share a little about my therapeutic style so you can get a sense of who I am and whether we might be a good clinical fit.

As a Latina therapist, I believe culture plays an important role in the therapy room. Our cultural backgrounds, family experiences, relationships, and identities can all shape the way we understand ourselves and navigate the world. Both my personal and professional experiences have deeply influenced my approach to therapy.

I especially enjoy working with individuals and families navigating multigenerational patterns, family dynamics, and trauma. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and culturally responsive space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you work toward meaningful change.

Some seasons of life ask more of you than you ever expected, and somewhere along the way you stopped feeling like yourself. I work with teens, parents, and adults who are moving through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, and the heavy stretches that come with big life transitions. I care deeply about supporting LGBTQIA+ and transgender clients, and families who want to understand and show up for one another a little better. So much of this work is simply remembering that you do not have to carry any of it alone.

I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care in a safe, judgment-free space.
