Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in California. I received my Doctorate Degree from Alliant International University in Fresno. I was born in Southern California and raised in the Bay Area. I have been practicing for 10 years and I enjoy empowering adults in their journey of overcoming their mental health challenges. I motivate clients for change and promote their personal growth.
Hi! I'm Olivia. I've been in therapy practice for six years, and am grateful for the opportunity to get to know you! As a queer and neurodivergent person, my career as a therapist has always moved in tandem with my commitment to social and economic justice. My work has taken me to settings with folks experiencing homelessness in South Los Angeles; with justice-involved adults in treatment court diversion programs in San Francisco's Tenderloin neighborhood; in young adult shelters for art therapy groups; with low-income immigrant parents of young children; and with teens and young adults with significant trauma histories.
Through all my roles I always commit to centering community and individual strengths that help arm my clients with the tools necessary to repel various types of systemic violence and oppression. I believe that therapy is inherently political because being human is political.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, California. My practice blends both psychological approach as well as eastern wisdom. With a diverse background of professional and life experiences, I bring empathy, warmth, and a solution-focused mindset to my clients. My goal is to help clients alleviate suffering, boost their productivitiy, and enhance well-being.
My clients describe me as relatable, supportive, and easy to open up to. As a first-generation Latina and part of the same generation as many of my clients, I understand the unique pressures young adults face—from family expectations to finding your own path—and I’m here to help you navigate it all with empathy and real-world perspective.
I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Redwood City
Searching for therapists in Redwood City starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy styles that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their approach and what sessions may feel like.
Redwood City has local options across areas like Downtown, Friendly Acres, and Emerald Hills, and nearby searches may include therapists in Menlo Park or other Bay Area counselors. In a smaller city, local appointment times or in-person offices may be more limited, so virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping care with a California-licensed therapist. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can help you compare communication style, specialties, and fit before you book.
Therapy in Redwood City can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse Redwood City therapist profiles, review specialties and availability, and choose a therapist who matches your needs, schedule, and plan.
