Hello! My name is Lovinda and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working and supporting individuals and families over the last 5 years. I received my graduate school education at The Wright Institute located in Berkley, California and my undergraduate education in Childhood Development at California State University Eastbay. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, career challenges, ADHD and more. I have also helped many people who have experienced childhood trauma and self esteem challenges.
My counseling style is warm, interactive, and down to Earth. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and family counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to reach out so the fact that you are considering it speaks volumes. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Lovinda is incredible. She has helped remind me of my own power and strength. When I walk away from sessions, I feel empowered with the tools and language she provides. I know that I can make it through tough situations, and Lovinda helped remind me that. She is the best!
