ADHD Therapists in California

As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide a safe, calm and steady presence for you as you navigate the challenges you are facing. My approach draws upon cognitive behavioral, dialectic behavioral, EMDR, and psychodynamic perspectives to match the needs of each individual person, family, and couple.  My style has been described as collaborative, warm, interactive, direct, and non-judgmental. I use a variety of techniques to bridge the gap between the conscious and unconscious. In doing so, balance is achieved between the self and the world allowing for healing and growth.

Hello dear one. Thank you for your curiosity in seeking guidance. While I may not yet know the journey that has brought you here, I’m glad that we are crossing paths. I am an ecotherapist, mindfulness practitioner, and Earth Mama! My work is grounded in humanistic, interpersonal, attachment, mindfulness, motivational, strengths-based, and ecotherapeutic frameworks. I also appreciate philosophical, spiritual, or existential exploration, and creative expression. Blending a warm, person-centered, and gently challenging approach, I will tailor our sessions to fit your needs.

I specialize in working with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or life transitions. I strive to meet clients where they are, providing a safe space to explore and process thoughts and feelings. I actively listen and validate my clients while also challenging them to become their better selves through self-awareness and growth. I have been practicing therapy for 7 years now and am very passionate about helping others reach their goals.

As a Board Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my journey began in the ICU, where I gained invaluable experience caring for patients with critical medical needs. However, I always knew that my true passion lay in mental health. Recognizing the profound impact mental well-being has on every aspect of life, I pursued my advanced degree in psychiatry to better serve individuals struggling with emotional and psychological challenges. I firmly believe that mental health is the cornerstone of overall well-being. Together, we can work to ensure you achieve mental and emotional balance, paving the way for a healthier, more fulfilling life. I am excited to collaborate with each of you on this journey toward mental wellness, and I am committed to supporting you in every way I can. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my mission is to provide comprehensive and individualized care that extends beyond traditional medicinal treatments. Recognizing that every individual is different, I believe in creating personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient, as a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient for optimal mental health care. Together, we will work to "Revive Your Mind and Soul" by addressing the underlying causes of your symptoms. By integrating both traditional and alternative treatment options, we will strive to enhance your mental well-being in a holistic and balanced way. I invite you to begin this journey with me, where we focus on healing without labeling emotions or limiting our understanding of mental health.

I am licensed in California with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, eating disorders, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, & executive and professional coaching. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Are you repeating frustrating patterns? Do you feel unsure of how to move forward? It’s normal to feel this way when facing major life transitions in a complex and often oppressive world.  Working together, I will help you slow down and pay attention to what is happening on the inside with gentleness and curiosity to find answers from your inner wisdom. By changing your relationship with yourself, you can feel more grounded, confident, and authentic. Doing so will allow you to access your most profound sense of empowerment and make clear choices to lead a more meaningful life.  When you face major life transitions, you may feel anxious, sad, isolated, frustrated, or confused. If you have a chronic or terminal illness, grief from the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or a job, or are exploring your gender or sexual orientation; therapy can provide support and connection as you navigate challenges and choices.  While the lens through which I view the therapy process is existential and transpersonal, my work is fundamentally trauma-informed and social justice-oriented (anti-oppressive). The most common piece of feedback I receive from clients is that they feel more empowered, confident, and grounded after working with me. I am known for providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we explore your feelings, thoughts, choices, and values with gentle curiosity to increase self-awareness and self-compassion to improve your relationship with yourself and others. Together we can sort through what you are feeling to gain insight and relief so you can live with enhanced authenticity and integrity.    

Are you looking for a trauma or couples therapist? Are struggling with inner child wounds and family of origin woes? Does it impact your romantic relationships, work, and how you show up in the world? Is being a cycle-breaker exhausting and do you need support? As a first gen myself in a biracial marriage, I know not only from my studies but lived experience just how important addressing cultural issues can be in order to make lasting change in our lives. I know how difficult exploring culture and how hard it is to find balance, not wanting to say something is bad or wrong but instead just figuring out how to live a life more inline with our values so that we can live more authentically. I help people with this all over California in online therapy.
