“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

We provide online therapy throughout California from our secure telehealth platform so that we can meet with you from the comfort of your own private space.
Our confidential video sessions ensure that distance and logistical barriers do not hinder your ability to receive care.
A Modern Approach
In therapy, we place a strong emphasis on improving interpersonal relationships, as we understand that life’s unpredictability can at times strain the bonds we share with others. Together, we will explore the art of setting boundaries, in addition to working on refining your communication skills. Relational work helps you to identify and directly express your needs, thoughts and emotions with the aim being to nurture more meaning and fulfillment in your relationships.
Relationships
We understand that a complicated family upbringing or a tumultuous family life can profoundly impact one’s emotional well-being, feelings of safety, relationships and overall sense of self. We are here to be present, to listen intently and to offer our reflections as you navigate your family dynamics, history, often intergenerational trauma, and unresolved conflicts. Our role in the process of family-focused therapy is to empower you, providing you with relational tools to harness your strength and resilience.

Substance Use Recovery
Overcoming substance use/misuse/abuse requires a multifaceted lens and nonjudgmental, holistic approach that uplifts and inspires hope. We are here to support you with understanding the root causes, triggers, and any co-occurring mental health challenges that contribute to your struggle. We are equipped to join you on your path whether you are considering harm reduction, sobriety, or a unique blend. Therapy encourages the practice of healthy coping strategies for improved wellness through nurturing your ability to tolerate stressful emotions and establish a supportive network in your community of likeminded individuals to promote lasting change.
Life Transitions
We recognize that pivotal life moments, such as moving, losing a loved one, dealing with health issues, enduring relationship changes, career shifts, traumatic events, and other significant occurrences, can evoke a myriad of overwhelming feelings. We are here to guide you through these transitions and explore fresh avenues for personal development under such circumstances through learning a variety of stress management techniques and examining ways to most optimally manage the transition.
