Attachment-based Therapists in California

I work with women navigating ADHD, anxiety, and burnout in a digitally-overloaded and fast-paced world. Since 2011, I’ve been providing practical, evidence-based support to individuals looking for ways to feel more grounded, calm, and in control of their daily lives. If you feel exhausted trying to care for both yourself and others and overwhelmed trying to complete your never-ending to-do list, I can help you find the insight, routines, and skills needed for the balance you deserve. My approach is feminist at its core and is also LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and HAES-affirming and culturally responsive. I integrate mind-body, cognitive-behavioral, and attachment-based techniques and skills for change. I provide virtual therapy to California, Oregon, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I take Aetna, Optum, Carelon, and BCBS of Massachusetts insurance plans and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. I look forward to connecting with you!

Are you finding it difficult to form or maintain meaningful relationships? Struggling with self-esteem, anxiety, or feeling like you're not “enough” no matter how much you achieve? Perhaps you appear successful on the outside, but inside, you're overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or simply not feeling like yourself. You’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate this alone either. You may have tried to manage things on your own, ignoring the signs, pushing through, hoping things will get better. But if you're reading this, something inside you knows it's time for a different approach. Therapy can be that turning point. Together, we’ll work to understand what's beneath the surface and begin to build a more empowered, fulfilling life. As an immigrant from Central America, I deeply understand the cultural pressures, generational expectations, and identity struggles that can weigh heavily on us. I also know the courage it takes, especially in communities where therapy is often stigmatized to ask for help. There is nothing weak about seeking support. In fact, it’s one of the bravest things you can do for yourself. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where your lived experiences are acknowledged and honored. My trauma-informed, culturally responsive approach ensures that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your story is unique, and the healing process should reflect that. I work with adults navigating: Anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm Relationship and attachment challenges Grief, loss, and life transitions First-generation identity struggles and intergenerational trauma Immigration-related stress and cultural adjustment Burnout, perfectionism, and low self-worth, even in high-achieving individuals The emotional impact of racism and systemic oppression on BIPOC communities Whether you're seeking clarity, connection, or peace of mind, we’ll co-create a path that aligns with your values and goals.

My work extends to women seeking greater emotional balance and clarity, couples looking to strengthen communication and connection, and families striving for more harmony and cohesion.

Hi, I'm Emma. I work with people navigating anxiety, big life transitions, and the deeper process of becoming more authentically themselves. My approach blends body-based trauma work (Somatic Experiencing™) with contemplative practice and depth psychology — because real change happens when we work with the body and nervous system, not just the mind. I hold a Master of Divinity from Naropa University and have trained in various bottom-up modalities. Above all, I meet you where you are, and I'd be honored to walk this next part of your journey with you.

I am a licensed practicing psychotherapist in California with 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy and consultation services to adults. I believe that life’s most difficult moments are often the catalysts for our greatest growth. My mission is to provide you with a safe, inclusive, and deeply collaborative space to explore the roots of your challenges and discover a more purposeful, fulfilling way of living. I take a holistic approach to healing, focusing on the integration of mind, body, and soul. Understanding that healing is not one-size-fits-all, I draw from specialized modalities—including Jungian Psychology, Depth Psychology, and EMDR—tailoring our work to your unique goals. In treating depression, anxiety, and trauma, our sessions may incorporate dream work, creative arts, talk therapy, and exploring the neurobiology of your attachment patterns and relationships. Together, we will work at your pace to resolve internal conflicts and release limiting patterns. I have the privilege of working with individuals from all spiritual and religious backgrounds, as well as those defining their own personal paths. Experiencing hardship can be an invitation to guide you toward a deeper level of understanding and satisfaction in your career, personal relationships, and physical intimacy. If you are ready to build a stronger sense of self and move toward a life of greater fulfillment, I invite you to contact me for a free 15-minute consultation. I look forward to connecting with you and serving as a partner on your journey.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist with 25 years of combined experience helping individuals, children, and families reduce trauma, relational challenges, and emotional pain. I use a strength-based approach and collaborate with each client to create an individualized treatment plan that supports healing, reduces distress, and builds resilience.

I work with people navigating developmental trauma, addiction, depression, and the complicated work of couples relationships. My own path through these same struggles — trauma, addiction, and long-term depression — sparked a nearly twenty-year exploration into meditation and somatic psychotherapy, and shaped how I show up with clients now. I hold a master's in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University and I'm a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Certified Addiction Specialist. I've worked in community mental health and private practice since 2014, with individuals and couples alike. What I care about most is helping people find real, felt change — not just insight, but a shift in the body and nervous system that actually sticks. Outside of sessions, you'll probably find me at the record store, on a trail, or dancing badly in my living room with my wife and daughter. I'd be glad to work with you.
