Therapists in California

I’m Here to Help ! My goal is to create a safe space for you to share your pain. I strongly believe working together in a strong supportive, professional relationship is an important key to a great outcome. For 20 plus years, I have had the joy of helping individuals, groups and families to resolve a wide range of problems and reduce emotional distress. With compassion and empathy, I will help to restore your equilibrium in distressing times, so you can become functional again. If you have unresolved issues from childhood, I am exceptionally trained to handle that as well. We can go as deep as you desire—It’s up to you. Working in partnership, we will identify your strengths, then use them as a springboard to gain a more enjoyable life. We will work to help you gain important insight into issues which have become stumbling blocks, then devise strategies to help reduce the pain, along with acquiring skills to cope more effectively.

Hello and welcome to BetterHelp! My name is Emily and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I first want to commend you on reaching out; the process of finding a counselor or therapist can be daunting, and I appreciate your willingness to give this a try. My overall style of therapy is relationship-based: I believe the therapeutic relationship (between you and I) can be one of the most effective vehicles for change and growth. I use specific interventions from different theoretical approaches tailored to you and what you want to focus on. As a therapist, I value my relationships with clients immensely. Every person is unique and their hopes, dreams, fears, strengths, and needs are valid and important. My favorite part of my job is getting to know my clients and I am truly honored and grateful to hear their stories—the good and the bad. My promise to you is to create a safe, nonjudgemental, and confidential space for you to be exactly who you are, and to help you grow and change in a way that feels right for you. I can’t wait to meet you!

In my clinical practice, I have had the privilege of working with individuals who have faced a range of complex issues. Many of my clients have experienced trauma and are in the process of exploring and reclaiming their identities as they navigate the impact of their past experiences. I also support clients who are working to uncover the underlying roots of their depression and anxiety, seeking not only relief from symptoms but also a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to their distress. Additionally, I have assisted clients who struggle with people-pleasing behaviors and difficulties in setting personal boundaries, guiding them towards greater self-assertion and empowerment. My approach centers on helping clients build insight into their unique challenges and develop effective, lasting strategies to improve their quality of life. My journey into becoming a therapist began with a natural interest in helping others, though I didn’t fully understand why until I recognized the pressing need for mental health support. As a minority, I’ve faced my own unique challenges, which opened my eyes to the broader needs within communities and fueled my drive to serve. I’ve seen firsthand how systemic issues affect people on every level—from macro to mezzo to micro—and how family traditions and cultural influences can shape our perspectives. These experiences have deepened my commitment to supporting individuals as they navigate these multifaceted challenges, helping them feel seen, understood, and empowered
