I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in domestic violence, addiction, homelessness, severe mental illness, behavioral modification, individual and family therapy, relational conflicts, crisis intervention, advocacy, social policy, clinical supervision and program development.

I believe in the immense power of our thoughts and our incredible capacity as human beings to change them through awareness, intention and implementation. Together we will work to create the life you want to live despite the hardships you have overcame and any future struggles that may lay ahead.

I believe life’s hardships and tragedies have strength and the power to empower with self awareness and guidance through the pain.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in El Segundo, California, offering both in-person and

online sessions. My practice centers on depression, codependency, and trauma and PTSD, and I bring a

warm, grounded presence to every session. I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns that once served

them but no longer do, whether in relationships, identity, or day to day coping. Many of my clients are

navigating big life transitions, including new parenthood, since I recently became a parent myself and

understand how much that can reshape a person's sense of self. My goal is to create a space where you

feel safe enough to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and reconnect with what matters to you.

Sometimes the hardest part isn't the struggle itself. It's finding someone who will actually understand the world you're living in. I'm Pia, a psychotherapist with many years of experience working with adults and seniors through anxiety, trauma, grief, identity questions, relationship strain, and major life transitions. I work with individuals and couples from a wide range of backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ communities, new and expecting mothers, and people from diverse cultural and ethnic origins who have sometimes found mainstream therapy less than welcoming. I listen closely, and I work hard to make sure you feel genuinely seen from the very first session.
