Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Redondo Beach, CA covered by United Healthcare

I work with individual adults and certain families who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, sad, lonely, sensitive, anxious, or defeated. If you're feeling heavy by everything going on, or feeling frantic, or having conflict in your relationships or are just feeling lost in any way, I would love to see if I can help! I also work with family units going through transition or strain, such as conflict between a parent and their adult child, or supporting parents who are experiencing difficult things with their child or teen.

I have a lot of experience helping people through loss, whether it's a breakup, losing a job, or a loved one - including loss of a pet, which is a specialty of mine. I have special interest in supporting other therapists, and also community organizers and activists who are engaged in social justice work. Many of my clients are trans or NB, and others are gay, lesbian, or queer. Poly and kink affirming.

I offer telehealth services to clients in California, Idaho, Washington, or Virginia.

Hello! Congratulations, on starting your journey to finding a therapist that meets your needs! I have been a therapist for 8 years in California. I received my Masters from USC and am a Licensed Therapist. I truly enjoy building connections with my clients and working collaboratively with them.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience working with people navigating the lasting effects of trauma. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from San Diego State University and my Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I really enjoy working with women who are experiencing burnout in motherhood and/or the workplace, young adults who have recently graduated from college and are feeling lost during that transition, and women who tend to lose themselves in relationships — whether romantic, familial, professional, or platonic. Many of my clients tend to be highly sensitive, overthinkers, people pleasers, and deep feelers.

Clients often come to me with concerns about how to deal with microaggression, intersectional identities, burnout, communication concerns, family dynamics, perfectionism, self-critical thoughts, imposter syndrome, stress, trauma, anxiety, grief and loss. I support my clients through life transitions, relationship distress, self-critical thoughts, shame, grief, intersectional identities, and trauma.

Working with me, many clients report letting go of people pleasing, imperfections, expectations, shame, anxiety, carrying other people's burdens, having to regulate for others, self-critical thoughts, grief, loss, releasing old family patterns and wounds, and personalizing. Many clients say they have more capacity for joy, gratefulness, better communication skills within their lives, better boundaries, more self-compassion and grace, going after opportunities, better self-care, learning to advocate for themselves, more grounding and emotional regulation, and confidence.

I specialize in working with BIPOC women and men, activists, and healthcare workers.

I am currently working on becoming an art therapy practitioner. In 2019, I delivered my first TEDx talk on Shame Resilience.

I completed my Master's in Counseling Psychology at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. I have over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field varying from community youth work, psychiatric inpatient nursing, and counseling. I became licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist in April 2023, accruing over 4 years of experience providing psychotherapy to clients in the LGBTQ and immigrant communities navigating mood, identity, and relationships.

Psychotherapy provided to adults seeking support. In treatment,we can create/reach goals to cope successfully while decreasing symptoms of anxiety/depression. Both short-term and long-term assistance available.
