Find a therapist in California — covered by insurance

Hi I'm Caitlin, a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work solely with women (ages 18-35) in my practice. Are you navigating low-acuity anxiety, stress, life transitions, adjustments, and general women's wellness? This might be the place for you.

Therapy is a wellness journey—an intentional act of self-care rooted in holistic health. My style is nonjudgmental, authentic, and grounded in self-compassion. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe to be fully themselves while feeling supported to grow. I model what I encourage in my clients: progress, not perfection. My approach is collaborative, honest, and focused on real-life application. Wellness is meant to be lived.

I joyfully integrate Ecotherapy into my work, as walk-and-talk sessions can offer meaningful benefits, including bilateral stimulation that supports emotional and cognitive processing. I often take Telehealth sessions outdoors while walking and invite clients who are interested and physically able to do the same virtually.

If you’re seeking to reconnect with your authentic self, exhale, and support your overall well-being, this may be the right space for you. I invite clients to come exactly as they are and honor the growth that unfolds throughout the therapeutic journey. Clients who commit to consistency often experience the most meaningful progress. At times, therapy may feel harder before it feels better—this is a natural and important part of healing. As emotions surface and insight deepens, lasting change begins to take shape.

My role is not to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you. I collaborate, support, and integrate wellness coaching and faith integration, when desired, to help foster autonomy, resilience, and personal growth. At the core of my work is creating a supportive space where clients can embrace who they are and move toward meaningful change with self-compassion.

You don’t have to go through life’s challenges on your own. With almost 10 years of experience, I provide support to individuals dealing with anxiety, burnout, trauma, and stress, as well as those exploring AAPI and gender identity issues. I also work with children and teens who are managing emotional and behavioral challenges. My style is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to meet your individual needs. I hold a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) from the University of Cambridge and a Master of Social Work (MSW) from CSUSB. Whether you’re feeling stuck or striving for personal growth, I’m here to help!

You’ve been holding it together for everyone else, but inside, it feels like you’re unraveling. You feel trapped in exhaustion and stuck in the same place. It makes sense to feel anxious, disconnected, or uncertain when you’ve worked so hard for so long to survive in systems not built for you. I want you to know I see it, and I’ve seen healing happen, even when it feels impossible. I work with people with neurodiversity and members of the LGBTQIA2S+ community navigating trauma, anxiety, identity, and relationships. Beneath burnout and fear, a part of you is reaching for connection. That part matters, and it’s where we begin.

I believe in a person's ability to grow and as a clinician, the experience of guiding another in the process of growth, is invigorating and has fueled my passion for over 40 years in the helping professions. My education focused on addictions, and marriage, family, and child psychology and my work experience has included a variety of therapeutic settings and issues with adults, families, adolescents, and children.

As a second-generation Filipina therapist, I understand how culture, family dynamics, and life experiences can shape the way we see ourselves and navigate the world. I strive to create a space where you feel accepted exactly as you are—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that you have everything figured out. I believe that meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship. Building trust, connection, and rapport is my first priority, because I believe healing happens best when you feel safe, understood, and supported.

Lena is a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). She has experience treating children, adolescents, and adults with psychiatric disorders including Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, Sleeping Disorders, and Substance Abuse. She is a passionate advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and specializes in LGBTQ+ mental health care. She also specializes in IV therapy including Ketamine infusions, vitamins, and NAD+ infusions.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support, I'm glad you're here. I am a licensed clinician and lover of stand-up comedy. I believe healing happens through connection, collaboration, and evidence-based care. I provide a warm, trauma-informed approach that helps clients feel supported while empowering them to make meaningful changes in their lives. Healing happens one step at a time, and I'm honored to support that process. My own healing journey is one which encourages me to stay connected to my Belgian roots, by discovering new dishes that allow me to indulge in flavorful cheese or decadent chocolate.
