California inherently breeds a fast-paced life style which naturally causes undue stress.
Hello! I am a psychologist who offers a non-judgmental space to support integrative growth and healing (mind/body connection). My approach to therapy is tailored to the individual or family who seeks treatment and is ready for positive emotional and behavioral change. The structure of our sessions is a back and forth conversation: a place for you to feel heard and also receive specific tools and communication techniques to use in any area or relationship in your life.

Do you wake up every morning feeling crazy amounts of stress and this nagging thought that no matter what you do, you will never be good enough? As humans we carry stress, pain, trauma, memories and patterns from our family, or jobs, our personal relationships and more in the cells of our bodies. This directly impacts how we feel about ourselves and show up in life. I imagine that what you really want (even more than achieving that milestone or having that next best thing) is to feel safety within yourself...to believe with your whole heart that you are worthy and enough.

I enjoy working with clients who want more than the traditional “talk” therapy. I have an active, curious style when examining symptoms of distress. For example, if we were to explore feelings of anxiety, I may ask questions to identify where you sense those feelings in your body, discuss the implications of stress, and investigate the triggers for it. This will enable you to create greater self-awarenes and have better control over your symptoms. My philosophy is deeply rooted in the mind-body connection and our interconnectedness with the world around us.

Guy E Washington, Psy.D. I prefer an integrative approach to treatment, as there is no one model technique that fits everyone. Therefore, it is imperative to connect and collaborate with clients to better understand their needs. I work with a variety of client types but not limited to those experiencing depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, interpersonal difficulties, and relationship challenges, and those experiencing severe mental illness.

Together, we search for new coping skills, stress management techniques, motivation, and new perspectives and paradigms that help you develop confidence and competence.
We live in an increasingly isolated world in which we are convinced on all sides that connection, meaning, and value can be shipped, swiped-on, liked, and plugged in. Social Media's benefits have allowed for unprecedented world-wide connection, but often at the cost of the life experiences that cultivate self-knowledge, character, confidence, and purpose. This leaves many people feeling paradoxically lonely, anxious, depressed, and without a sense of meaning or direction. Regardless of what may be causing your distress, talking with a therapist can help.

I work mostly with anxiety, depression, panic, trauma, grief, and stress, although there are many additional stressors and diagnosis that I have been successful at helping clients with.
Are you struggling with emotions that you don't know what to do with? Are you stuck in thought processes that are unhelpful, yet you are not sure how to change them? Do you want to learn how to regulate emotion, reduce stress, improve relationships, improve communication, reduce unwanted emotion, and feel comfortable in your own body? These are just a few of the things that I work with clients on, and I can work with you as well. I believe we are all humans doing the best that we can, and sometimes the best thing we can do is ask for help.

Along the way, we can collaborate to develop skills to help you manage stress and any difficult emotions you may be experiencing.
Hi there, I'm Miranda, a licensed clinical social worker. I am a mother of four and have been in private practice for about five years. Before that, I worked in clinical settings, in criminal and family courts and shelters. Much of my experience has been with at-risk youth and victims of domestic violence so I mainly utilize a trauma-informed approach. However, I don't subscribe to any single theoretical approach, and employ Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Psychodynamic techniques based on each individual. I will also teach you the skills to help you contain any reactions or symptoms that come up while processing.
