Depression Therapists in California

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have been working in this field for over 20 years. I have worked with children and families, adolescents, groups, and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, stress, life changes, self-esteem issues, and an array of mental, emotional and relational concerns. My therapeutic approach comes mainly from Jungian Psychology and somatic experience, although I am also eclectic and borrow from other approaches depending on the client's unique needs. I offer a safe, warm, and compassionate approach in my work with individuals. I will meet you where you are, and support you as you transform not only externally but most importantly internally. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have and/or to determine if we are a good fit.

I am a California virtual therapist specializing in working with individuals ages 10+. My passion is for providing a safe and compassionate space for my clients to unpack their thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

I have many years experience working with clients that have anxiety, depression, eating disorders, trauma, and many other challenges. I provide a safe, confidential, collaborative, and non-judgmental space to individuals, families, couples, and children/adolescents providing my clients with awareness, empowerment, validation, and tools to better manage life's challenges. If you are presented with life challenges or just need someone to talk to, it would be my pleasure to assist you in your journey. I currently provide Telehealth services in California and Colorado. Using evidenced-based treatment methods I work collaboratively with clients using a Person-Center approach to create a treatment plan that will help my client reach their goals and improve there mental health. Starting therapy can be scary, it takes a lot of strength to take that first step towards improving your mental health. Therapy provides you with a safe place to become more aware and grow into the person you want to be and live the life you want to be living.

What if one session could make all the difference? Anxiety, depression, fears, traumatic events or memories, irritability, triggers, and reactivity. You might have tried therapy before but felt like it was focused just on “coping”...not on actually getting to the root of the issue. You’re ready to go deep and put these triggers and patterns to rest for good. Brainspotting (BSP) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offer fast, gentle, and highly effective relief, without the need to talk about your problems in detail. It’s time to move past the triggers and patterns that have been holding you back far too long. Deep, long-lasting change doesn’t have to take years. ART and BSP empower your brain to do the healing work so you can finally re-process and neutralize painful memories, experiences, and events, making room for feelings of more calm, clarity, and relief. Research shows that if often takes just 1-5 sessions to experience significant changes. As a client myself, I was able to access and resolve things that talking alone could not fully repair—and it’s because of my experience that I decided to get trained. These methods have made such an impact on my life that I wanted to be able to bring them to my clients, too. Together, we can discuss which option is best for you. Reach out to get started! 

Greetings fellow human, I recognize how intimating the search for a therapist can be. I hope that you are being kind to yourself and allowing time to feel your feels. I am one of many options, and I hope you find what you need because you deserve care that holds all of you. I may be a good fit, if you're looking for a deep reflection, compassion, and inner clarity.

I’m so glad you are here! My personal philosophy around therapy is that it is a tool used to help you on your journey until you are ready to let go of the helping hand and navigate your world using the coping skills, tools and resources you gained in therapy. Allow me to help you navigate through this confusing time and help you regain your confidence in yourself. As your therapist I can guide you towards improving your mood and relationships as well as strengthening your copings skills and problem solving abilities so that what once felt unmanageable is now manageable. Give me a call for a free 15 minute consultation to see if I’m the right therapist for you!
