Therapists in California

Hello! I have been working with couples and individuals, specifically in the realm of kink-positive, sex-positive couples therapy, specializing in ethical and consensual non-monogamy, but empowering ALL relationships regardless of format and sex lives since opening my practice in 2007. My work focuses on developing stronger communication, a better understanding and awareness of our desires, driving forces, and developing a deeper connection between mind and body. I work to help people break down shame, guilt and to feel more positive, to develop healthier attitudes around sex, sexuality, gender, fluidity and more. I deal with relationship issues, and have extensive experience with ethical and consensual non monogamy (enm/cnm), polyamory, kink, LGBTQIA++, sex work, dating concerns, creative expression, sexual/social minorities, gender issues, BIPOC. I have extensive experience working with trauma around religion and sex. I feel that all things are interconnected. Our relationships cannot be healed unless we look at ourselves and vice versa. Our psychological experiences will have an affect on our bodies. Some issues I can help you with might include: Polyamory, Consensual Non Monogamy Sex Therapy Relationship Concerns LGBTQ Transgender, Agender, Non-Binary Infidelity Sexual Trauma Fear of Intimacy Lack of Sexual Desire, Problems with Arousal Feelings of Guilt, Fear, Anxiety around Sex Uncertainty About Sexual Orientation or Gender Emotional Love Addictions Career Changes Breaking Up

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist offering a unique combination of professional skills, education, and knowledge, which include, mediation and small business owner/consultant. I embrace this profession with a wealth of life experiences that include over 30 years in social services. As a change agent, I create and maintain a trusting and safe space where individuals can explore a new way of being and existing. We don’t get to choose our family of origin, but we do get to choose how we are going to be in our many interactions with others. The investments we make in our self are reflected in our daily life. Our beliefs, perceptions, and feelings guide us as we live day to day. Allowing individuals to create their own truth through exploration and empowerment can bring understanding and hope as they encounter a new way of living. I believe change and healing occurs as a result of a collaborative and relational experience. My role is to support my clients through the therapeutic process and help them discover a resolution to conflict/or pain, whether it occurs on the inside with one’s thoughts and feelings or on the outside between two or more individuals. I bring a curious mind, and an open heart as we make the journey together to a better life. Congratulations on wanting to improve yours…

I’m excited to also branch out and provide therapy to young adults, adults and couples.

However, during June and July I have some additional time slots available, in which I can offer new clients approximately 4-6 sessions. If you are currently in need of short-term therapy to deal with a particular situation/issue, please feel free to book an open time slot. If you are looking to continue with the same therapist for more than 6 sessions, I most likely won't be able to accommodate on-going sessions after mid August, and I would recommend letting BetterHelp know to match you with a different therapist who has more on-going availability. Feel free to message me on this platform if you have any questions or need further clarification. Take good care!

I have a passion for helping people find their new normal after traumatic injuries and/or chronic illness and have first-hand experience with the grief, and loss of identity that comes with life after a traumatic injury. I focus on letting my clients know that they are not in this alone, despite what their irrational thoughts tell them. Throughout my life, I've navigated the complexities of establishing a new normal after a traumatic injury and grappling with the impact they have on mental health and overall well-being. These firsthand experiences have instilled empathy and understanding that I bring to every therapeutic encounter. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and empowering space where individuals can explore their experiences, process their emotions, and cultivate resilience on their journey toward healing. I strive to utilize strength-based skills that have helped you conquer old foes while incorporating new skills and strategies to overcome present obstacles.
