I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience treating adolescents and adults. My approach to psychotherapy is warm, empathic, and compassionate. I treat each individual professionally and with respect. I appreciate the uniqueness of each patient and emphasize listening closely and thoughtfully, as we all possess the ability to tell our story regarding our strengths and our challenges, even when we sometimes do not realize it. I strive to create a safe environment where you c...
As an art therapist and counselor, I utilize the process and product of art making to support individuals in discovering insight, moving toward growth, and finding balance. Art therapy can offer an alternative means of communication to express difficult emotions or experiences that may feel impossible to put into words. You do not have to identify as an artist to find healing through art therapy. Art making is always optional and no artistic skills or previous experience is needed. If you would ...
We all experience times in our lives when we feel stuck, disconnected, or out of balance. I strive to create an environment where couples, individuals, and families feel supported and heard. I invite you to deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships through my experiential, attachment-based approach....
I help teens and young adults navigate through the ups and downs of life, and who may also be experiencing other responses to the unexpected challenges of life. I support my clients throughout life transitions so as to come out the other side with a strong sense of self worth. My style is supportive, interactive, compassionate and warm, with a splash of humor. As individuals, I believe we all have the innate ability to heal and to grow, and sometimes just need a safe space and extra support a...
Reaching out for support is a courageous act, asking us to acknowledge our sense of longing for change, to take up space with our own experiences and needs, and to confront and shift out of the sources of stuck-ness and suffering in our lives. I honor this courage by taking an active role in helping to bring clarity to confusion and identify areas for growth. Primary to my work with clients is creating a sense of connection, safety and non-judgment—I show up as my real self, with my own honesty ...
I see our work together as a team that balances putting in the hard work while understanding you have to have some laughs along the way! We collaborate to create your goals and methods to achieve those goals that play into your strengths. Above all modalities, the therapeutic relationship is what I value most in our work together. I primarily use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Art Therapy. Despite my degree in art therapy, my dual license allows ...

My clients struggle like you do. Despite being intelligent, kind, and creative, life is hard. When we first begin therapy, my clients feel like their relationships are lacking. They’re having issues with family, friends, and partners. They wonder why they keep having the same experiences in relationships, and what they can do about it. They wish they knew why things keep playing out in the same way. They feel like they’re not good enough, and that it’s their fault. All too often, they...

Hi. If you have ended up here chances are you are questioning if you need help trying to figure something out in your life. Don't close the page...You are here and that is good. Being in college can be a really difficult transition and so much harder than you thought it was going to be. Classes, grades, friends, socializing, drugs, sex, identity, expression, first time independence, and feeling home sick. Perhaps you have dealt with mental health issues before now or maybe this is the first ti...

Oh hey there! I want to start off by saying props to you on taking that first step and acknowledging you need a change. Having that insight is a key component as we embark on this therapeutic relationship. Within this relationship, my role is to help you uncover who you are, determine where you want to go in life, and how to manage all the pivots you will have along the journey. The perception of what therapy looks like is that I will be sitting in a cardigan sweater in my leather chair, w...
Carmen specializes in working with adolescents and adults, families and couples. She’s been working with people experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and many other disorders for over 9 years. Sometimes the effects of these issues and concerns come out in our behavior, work, relationships or maybe everything we do. Our behaviors and actions don't always reflect how we'd like to behave. Carmen is a firm believer that people are not broken and in need of fixing, but rather wounded in need of h...
Your care and well-being remains at the heart of our journey. My practice is based on providing a trusting and non-judgmental safe space for us to work towards your personal goals. I believe therapy is a meaningful, collaborative, and intentional process. I work from a trauma-informed, social justice, and culturally competent framework....
I work with adults and adolescents who are often times struggling with anxiety or depression. Sometimes, there aren't obvious symptoms; instead, there's a sense that something seems to be interfering with their ability to be happy, their relationships, or the life they want to live. I help people see themselves from a new angle, uncovering unconscious beliefs and seeing the collective parts of themselves from a new and accepting perspective. I am accepting new remote clients in California and...
Do you overthink things or ever feel burnt out? What about after an issue happens, do you fixate on it, obsess over it, or think about the worst possible outcomes? How difficult is it to concentrate and stay focused on what needs to get done? What about your patience, has it run thin enough that you’re finding yourself more easily annoyed or frustrated by things? Managing anxiety is no easy feat, especially when anxiety symptoms can show up in so many different ways. How do you work through a...
