About me

Thank you for reading my profile – I hope I will get a chance to meet with you soon!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed by the state of California, Board of Behavioral Sciences, LMFT #117301, with nine years of counseling experience working with adults, children and teenagers, individually and in groups. When working with adults, I find it helpful to remember and honor the precious children they once were, and to strive to treat them with the sensitivity, kindness, patience and unconditional positive regard that they still need and deserve now that they are grown up.

I look forward to working with you to increase your resilience and psychological flexibility, so that you can be more open, aware and engaged in life. I will encourage you to explore your own values and help you to take positive actions towards them. I hope to help you to feel better, have more fulfilling relationships and feel empowered to lead a more meaningful life.

My counseling style is based on a special client-centered relationship that is caring, respectful, genuine and accepting, to encourage your self-compassion and personal growth. I use an eclectic approach of evidence-based practices that best suit your individual strengths and needs, and that provide you with coping skills you can use when you need them. We can also explore the use of mindfulness training and the power of metaphors to help you tap into your own brainpower.

These are difficult times. Even in times like these we can still find meaning, and move towards hope, individuation and joy! I would be honored to be a small part of your life journey. I would like to help you to explore and expand your own unique potential!

Pamela is such a great therapist. She listens and has helpful suggestions. Worksheets are great too.

Pamela has been an immense help in coping with a difficult situation I am going through. She always remembers the details of everything we spoke about, and seems to really care for my well being. I am grateful I was connected with her and appreciate her insight.

Pamela is extremely kind and caring and uses a lot of great tools and strategies for learning to heal. She uses relatable stories and anecdotes to let you know that you’re not alone in how you’re feeling. She also sends plenty of additional worksheets and information for you to fill out between sessions (if you choose to) to keep you on track. Thanks Pamela for the less clinical and more personal approach.
