Hi there, I'm Soheila. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with life challenges, relationships, work and health?

Life can feel uncertain and mixed emotions can make it difficult to know what to do. As your therapist, I want you to leave feeling heard, understood, accepted, and empowered. Sessions are centered around you and your experiences. Using a narrative approach, we work together to create a life narrative that highlights your strengths, history, and how you have worked to thrive. My role is to support you and walk alongside you through this time in life.

Life can throw different challenges at you at any time and struggle can show up in our lives in many ways. This can naturally create feelings of discouragement or discomfort that present in life through our thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Sometimes it can be hard to open up about it, but as your therapist I want you to have a place to do just that. My role is to join you in your journey of overcoming those challenges and struggles and take steps toward your goals. I am currently registered in California as an associate MFT. I have years of experience working in school, remote and in-person settings.

As a Certified Autism Specialist (CAS), I currently provide comprehensive psychological evaluations of children and adolescents (including infants, toddlers, and adults). I specialize in the assessment of various developmental challenges commonly seen in young children and adolescents, specifically developmental delays, behavioral difficulties, and other “mannerisms” likely associated with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I also provide evaluations of intellectual and learning disabilities, Independent Educational Evaluations (IEE), second opinions, and assessments that provide recommendations and guide treatment planning.

Hello! My name is Amy. My area of interest is in supporting individuals in developing a healthy relationship to themselves and others, who have a history of growing up with family dysfunction or chronic childhood emotional neglect/abuse. My hope is to help you gain awareness, increase psychological flexibility, and increase capacity to stay in tune with your emotions to make positive changes in your life.

I believe every person has the insight to their own wellness journey. Engaging in the psychotherapy process can be an uncomfortable, beautiful awakening resulting in significant benefits to you, including reaching goals, improving interpersonal relationships and resolution of specific concerns and issues impacting your wellbeing.

I want to acknowledge your courage for taking this first step of prioritizing your mental health. I understand the fear and anxiety of beginning this journey of the unknown as I, too, have experienced the process. So whether this is a small or big step for you, I’m glad you’re here. You may have lived through life’s stressors by having to go on survival mode, causing you to cope in ways that don’t really benefit you in the long term. This can look like isolation, overstepping your boundaries, invalidation of self, or a self-written destructive narrative that fulfills cultural and societal expectations.

Buena Vibra! We're a small group practice offering psychotherapy services in English/Spanish. We value the desires and needs of our clients to relate to others in healthy ways, while maintaining a sense of autonomy. We explore with our Clients how symptoms of anxiety and depression may result from inconsistent and poorly defined boundaries and expectations. Together we create healthy boundaries through effective communication strategies and consistent behavioral interventions, while taking great care in exploring, identifying and preserving cultural, traditional value systems within their relationships.

As your therapist, I am committed to cultivating a healing environment to compassionately support you in being able to align with your true values and learn to be in authentic relationship with yourself, your loved ones and within your community. We’ll take a healing journey together towards a path of a more meaningful and fulfilling life. A life where you will be able to set boundaries and know how to have your needs met. A life that will feel lighter and you’d feel more at ease with others and with yourself. A life in which it’s comfortable to truly be who you are.

Are you looking for a safe, bias free space to find tools to enhance the quality of your relationships and life? Seeking guidance to maneuver through changes with your career, relationships or life in general? Want someone that will focus on your strengths to help you fortify your sense of self? I'd love to partner with you on your healing journey. Sometimes life throws us a curve ball and we simply need someone to help us navigate the feelings that come up.

“Sometimes, life seems like a deep-dark hole, but really it’s a tunnel, and if we walk together, we’ll reach one end or the other.” Fr. G. Boyle, Homeboy Industries. We live in challenging times; it may help to talk with someone to try and make sense of it all. I’ve experienced the positive effects of having a trained professional in my corner. My hope is to pay that forward and support you in reconnecting to your genuine strengths. I believe each person has the key to their own wellness and success. So ask yourself, if life could be different tomorrow, what would it look like?

My passion for mental health stems from my recovery story. I fell in love with the people and organizations that helped me. And, when I starting helping others on the path of personal growth, I knew what I was put on this planet to do. So, I got out of the job I hated to pursue a Master's Degree in Social Work at USC. My approach to psychotherapy focuses on learning about the journey my clients have experienced. Followed by a solution-focused orientation that encourages forward progress and goal achievement. I believe that with love, support, and honesty anything is possible.

I believe that childhood experiences have a deep impact on relationships and perspectives. In order to thrive wholly, we have to get to the heart of the matter. I create a warm environment in order for you to change thought process, rebuild your relationships, and treat depression and anxiety that has rooted from past trauma. I have included virtual sessions for individuals who may not be able to attend office visits.
