About me

Welcome to Betterhelp! I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California with over 12 years of experience in providing high quality care to individuals seeking to become the best version of themselves. I am certified in Evidence Based Programs such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), and Seeking Safety Treatment Model.

I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, parenting problems, and toxic self-image beliefs. I also helped many people who have experienced physical/sexual trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is warm using empathetic listening and creating an atmosphere in which my clients feel safe. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I want clients to feel understood rather than being judged.

My approach combines cognitive behavioral, client/person-centered, solution-focused, psychodynamic, trauma-focused CBT, and teaching individuals how to be kind to self. I will tailor our treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs. When you are ready to take your first step towards change, I am here to help guide you toward a more productive life.

I look forward to working with you.

So far so good! In just one session, Donna made me feel very comfortable and helped me look at things differently. I will continue to see her.

My favorite part about having Ms. Donna as my therapist is that she talks to me in a way that I can understand and retain. She gives me tangible tools that I can really use and apply. I've grown more as a human being emotionally in the last year than in the last decade. She has taught me so much about self-love which was and has always been my biggest challenge. I've learned so much from her. I am so grateful to have her in my life <3
