BEGIN YOUR WELLNESS JOURNEY.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY SESSION
If you’re looking for something completely integrated and tailored to your specific needs, an individual therapy session with me might be the right step for you. If you’re an adult facing emotional challenges, a trauma therapist in California can provide specialized care to help you heal and improve mental wellness. For sudden panic attacks, non-medication methods like deep breathing, grounding, and mindfulness can reduce symptoms and increase control. Healthy relationships need clear communication and boundaries to promote respect and reduce stress. If you tend to put others first, CBT can help change people-pleasing habits for healthier self-expression. These approaches support better mental health and well-being.

FAMILY THERAPY
Family therapy is a form of counseling that aims to help family members improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. In family therapy sessions, I work with your family as a whole to identify and address issues that may be causing distress or tension within the family unit. By exploring family dynamics, patterns of interaction, and individual experiences, family therapy can provide a supportive and constructive environment for families to work through challenges together. The goal of family therapy is often to enhance understanding, promote empathy, and foster healthy ways of relating to one another.
