I've been doing therapy for over 10 years, helping various needs. I'm a licensed LMFT that has assisted children, teens and families in learning new skills to manage, anger, depression, anxiety, stress, build confidence, self esteem building, transgender issues, and various other situations. It's a joy to walk help people within their search for healing, insight, and empowerment. Sometimes it is hard to access the inner guide we have due to outside influences, fear, doubt, or from being out of alignment. Asking for help is one of the hardest things you can do, but can be very rewarding. As a therapist, I strive to help you connect to your authentic self in order to help you have more for filling experiences on your life journey. I applaud your courage for taking the first steps towards positive change through therapy. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I am a Licensed therapist in California with 20 years experience in private practice. I mainly see adults. I work well with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression and stress related disorders. I also see those with addictions and anger. Through person centered, and focusing on strengths and solutions, I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. I am certified in Brainspotting, and have incorporated that into therapy. I am a recent transplant to California from Virginia.

Hey! I'm JD, a dedicated and compassionate therapist committed to helping you navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth. With almost 10 years of experience in the field of mental health, I have honed my skills and developed a deep understanding of various therapeutic approaches to support my clients effectively. It begins and ends with trust and throughout our time together we'll be building towards that relationship thereby maximizing our time together. Throughout my career, first in the military, I've had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and more. Now whether it's in private practice, community organizations, or clinical settings, I've encountered a wide range of mental health concerns, each presenting unique opportunities for growth and healing. I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree from the University of Southern California (USC), specializing in Jungian psychology. Additionally, I am certified in both Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and the Gottman Method through the Gottman Love Institute. My academic journey at USC and beyond provided me with a comprehensive understanding of social work principles, psychoanalytic theories, and behavioral modification techniques. This specialized training has equipped me with a diverse toolkit to address the complex psychosocial needs of individuals across diverse populations. My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic Therapy, EMDR, and the Gottman. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet the individual needs and preferences of each client, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to mental health challenges. Central to my practice is the cultivation of a safe and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel empowered to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. I strive to foster a collaborative relationship built on trust, empathy, and mutual respect, guiding clients on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. I am passionate about helping clients tap into their innate resilience and strengths, empowering them to overcome obstacles and lead more fulfilling lives. By providing guidance, support, and evidence-based interventions, I aim to assist clients in developing coping strategies, improving self-awareness, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and fostering a greater sense of well-being. Whether you're struggling with overwhelming emotions, navigating life transitions, or seeking personal development, I am here to accompany you on your therapeutic journey. Together, we can work towards overcoming challenges, unlocking your full potential, and creating positive change that lasts.
