Called the City of Good Living, San Carlos still tries to maintain the small town feel even as the population grows every year. To maintain the hometown feel, many of the townspeople spend a lot of free their time in the 16 gorgeous parks fishing, swimming, picnicking, playing ball, or whatever else they like to do. 

Although you may want to take your kids to the park or walk your dog, sometimes you just don’t feel up to it. At times like these, you should talk to one of the committed therapists in San Carlos. They can be very helpful at times like these.

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!

As a therapist, it is important to help you understand how your experiences affect the way you feel and the decisions you make.

~Please note: I do not do legal advocacy of any type. ~I generally have availability during work day hours at this time. ~Our first session includes a screening process. I'll need your willingness to provide basic identifying information including an address with which to send basic therapy forms (Consent to Treatment). I'm licensed in California with over 20 years of professional work experience. I'm honored to have supported countless clients (youth and adults, families and individuals) to better manage their stress and anxiety; to navigate the loneliness that often accompanies depression; to express and process grief and loss, abuse and related traumas, and various other challenges. We'll work as a team. You won't get trendy clinical jargon from me. I'm not up-to-speed on all of the current terms, nor do I find this necessary for true healing. I enjoy genuine, honest relationships focused on my clients' paths; you are the expert on yourself. I see myself as a mentor-coach-guiding force and objective professional. You'll also receive caring nudges from me, as needed, to enhance your sense of self-worth and improved mental wellness. Aiding my clients towards increased self-love and compassion is my ultimate goal. It takes courage to embark on this process to achieve the positive changes that you deserve. I hope to empower you on this journey.
