Find a Therapist in United States

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California. I provide individualized therapeutic services to youth and adults. I am loyal, dedicated, caring, compassionate and personable. I have navigated many of the issues you probably have as well and feel comfortable and confident supporting you through them. In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions, and discuss confidentiality, and other guidelines I want to make sure you are aware of as a client. Then we will dive into your needs and how I can support you with them.  

My practice of MindOverHealing Therapies is dedicated to supporting and helping individuals achieve holistic mind-body-spirit healing so they can break through barriers and be empowered to experience life's possibilities. At this time, I offer online therapy sessions where clients can receive sessions in the comfort of their homes.  

Our goal is to help teens, individuals, and couples thrive and we are dedicated to providing the community with empathetic therapists who offer hope, healing, and growth to each person and couple we have the privilege to serve.  

I want to congratulate you for taking the brave step to seek therapy. As your therapist, my role is to help you achieve your best functioning, according to what matters to you. I have been involved in the training of therapists for over 20 years and I am confident that we can find the best path forward for your needs. I see clients via telehealth. Contact me for a free consultation.  

I’m a couples therapist working online across California and Florida. Many couples come to me feeling stuck, unseen, or like they’re speaking different languages. Sometimes there’s neurodivergence (ADHD, autism), past trauma, or years of miscommunication that usual advice doesn’t touch. My style is direct, compassionate, and real—I bring humor, honesty, and respect into sessions while helping you uncover the patterns beneath conflict. I specialize in helping partners reconnect, improve intimacy, and rebuild trust. You don’t have to be perfect or throw away your life together to reclaim closeness and resilience. If you’re ready to move past surface fixes and find a deeper way forward, I’d love to support you in creating a relationship that feels like “us” again.  

Finding a therapist who you connect with can be one of the most challenging steps of therapy. I believe that the relationship developed between the client and the clinician is the foundation of the work that will be completed during the therapeutic process. Creating a safe, non-judgmental environment is of the utmost importance to create change in your life. I enjoy working with clients who want to do deep inner work to address the root causes of the issues they are facing. This means that we will explore your internal world and compassionately connect with all parts of you in order to understand their roles, fears, and motivations. All parts of you are always welcome in the room.  

I strive to understand your story—not just your symptoms—and to partner with you in creating a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals. To heal, we need to feel safe, heard, and empowered. You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to walk with you, support you, and help you rediscover hope, strength, and stability on your path forward.  

I know that people come to therapy because they want something in their life to change. That's why I am very conscious of how we set goals and then create a road map to achieving them. I focus on relationships & couples counseling, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and I have held roles of Clinical Director and Therapist in a number of addiction treatment centers in Southern California. My educational background includes a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and a Master’s in Education from the University of Southern California. I know it can be hard to navigate through our struggles all alone, which is why I find joy in helping others feel supported in finding happiness, success, and fulfillment in life.  

My style is friendly, silly, and non-judgmental. My goal is to help you feel more connected to your inner world so you actually have the tools to take care of yourself outside of our work together.  

Do you feel stuck in the same painful cycle—arguing, shutting down, or clinging tighter, only to end up more disconnected? You may lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you’re “too much” or “not enough,” or fearing a relationship won’t last. Even when you care deeply, old wounds and attachment injuries can quietly erode closeness. What you long for is safety, trust & the feeling of being understood, accepted & loved.  

Even with insight and past therapy, you may still feel caught in patterns that leave you depleted—overextending yourself, avoiding conflict, striving to get everything “right,” or feeling disconnected in your relationships and from your own body. At some point, coping strategies that once protected you can begin to feel constricting. In our work together, we delve into the deeper emotional and relational roots of these patterns. I bring 18 years of direct experience into the room, helping clients cultivate greater clarity, steadiness, confidence, and self-trust so they can move through relationships with more authenticity and assertion. My approach integrates experiential and depth-oriented therapies—including psychodynamic psychotherapy, ISTDP, EMDR, Brainspotting, and EFT—to support meaningful, lasting change at both the emotional, physiological and spiritual levels. I see this work as especially important in a society that often prizes productivity over presence and autonomy over connection. By questioning dominant cultural narratives and inherited systems of disconnection, therapy can become a space for reclaiming connection, dignity, and care—within ourselves and across differences. It is a privilege to accompany clients into their most tender and defended places. I trust that through this process, you can cultivate deeper self-understanding, greater inner coherence, and a more grounded sense of safety and belonging—within yourself and in the relationships that matter most.  

BBCS Counseling offers weekday, evening, and weekend appointments. It takes courage to make the first counseling call and we try to see you in 48 hours for this reason. We are very easy to and respect your privacy.  

In private practice for 32 years. I am interested in assisting you with your emotional growth and well-being. It's normal at times in life to have conflicts, but sometimes we need guidance to discover healthier ways to navigate through these challenges to have a more healthy and rewarding life!  

Living a life in joy is a holistic process which goes beyond the intermittent happy moments. It requires us to be present and receptive to life's ups and downs and know that our resilience will help us overcome any challenge. Allow me to walk side by side with you to a joy-filled journey. All are welcome.  

I specialize in working with people who are struggling to find meaning or purpose in their lives. Over-functioners. People with High-Functioning Depression struggle to set boundaries around those they love, so that they have the freedom to discover themselves again. I absolutely love my job, and I am passionate about helping all my clients get back on their feet and return to their lives feeling more open, authentic, strong, and confident.  

I'm dedicated to helping you feel more focused, less overwhelmed, and emotionally balanced. I work with teens and adults who are managing ADHD, anxiety, depression, and stress-related challenges. My goal is to help you gain control of your thoughts, improve daily functioning, and feel more confident in yourself and your future.  

I am a trauma specialist. I help you navigate past and present harm with a gentle but directive hand. Whether you’re hurting from a complicated childhood, religious trauma, attachment wounds, military trauma, grief, first responder trauma, bullying, abuse, or any pain that lingers long past its due date, I’m here to help. I use EMDR, IFS, and DBT to guide you with warmth, clarity, and steady support as you heal and reclaim your life.  

I believe therapy is a space for deep, meaningful change—not just symptom relief. My work is grounded in a parts-based practice, depth psychology, and a trauma-informed lens, helping clients explore the aspects of themselves shaped by past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns. I approach this process with curiosity, compassion, and respect for your unique story. I specialize in working with trauma recovery, mood disorders, depression, anxiety, codependency, and relationship issues. I view these challenges not simply as problems to eliminate, but as signals pointing toward deeper patterns that deserve attention and care. Together, we create a space where all parts of you are welcome—especially those that have been overworked, hidden, or misunderstood. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness, inner balance, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.  

I have worked with individuals and couples for over 10 years on everything from relationship challenges to working through personal crisis or unrealized goals. My coaching style utilizes mindfulness practices with tools for a deeper sense of self awareness and self care and increases a sense of resilience, patience, compassion and conscious intentional action rather than reaction and repeating unconscious patterns.  

Bringing ease to therapy with a relaxed, down-to-earth approach—where comfort and insight go hand in hand. I specialize in a wide range of areas, including anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma and post-traumatic stress, sexual violence, grief, coping with chronic illness or cancer, life transitions, relationship and family issues, low self-esteem, women’s and men’s health, as well as caregiver distress and burnout.
