My work as a therapist for the past 24 years has been focused on helping people uncover what is most authentic, naturally resourceful and vividly alive in each person. The stresses and traumas of living one's life can deaden our connection with ourselves and with those we love. Emotional suffering, isolation, addiction and crisis can be powerful gateways to a deeper foundation of self-acceptance, compassion and inner freedom. Learning to utilize proven tools for recognizing and transmuting pain into the ever deepening and changing experience of your life and relationships are the foundation of our work together.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, avoidance, and disassociation with EMDR, Brainspotting, parts work approaches and animal assisted psychotherapies. My clients and I collaboratively identify their therapeutic goals and I give them options in approaches to meeting those goals each session. I encourage curiosity, compassion, self respect, and self love while exploring and processing the complexity of each individual. I am client centered and directed, and follow the client's changing needs throughout their healing process.

A Human Sanctuary (AHS) is a safe refuge for people who seek healing and personal transformation. We provide a safe, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can connect to their inner compass and work toward a more fulfilling and purposeful life. Embracing a collaborative, strengths-based perspective, we draw from therapeutic approaches that are tailored to the values, needs, and goals of the individual. We do not see clients as a diagnosis, a set of symptoms, or a case to be “solved” but a growing, evolving, and intricately developing human who will only blossom when met in a warm and trusting atmosphere.

I see clients throughout California via video sessions. Most of the people I work with are told they need to be different than they are. Sometimes they get that message explicitly, always they get that message in the way people treat them. Therapy with me doesn’t aim to make you different. We’ll work to help you navigate the world while being healthy and fully you. Specific issues my clients are navigating include: being neurodivergent (mostly autistic and ADHD), being transgender or outside the gender binary, being non-monogamous, or being deep in grief.

I'm a highly experienced psychologist who specializes in women's issues, LGBTQ+ community, especially bisexual and pansexual individuals, BIPOC folks, Asian Americans, concerns with sex, dating, and marriage, anxiety, social anxiety, family conflicts, body image, and eating disorders.
I believe that it takes great courage to take that first step in reaching out for help, whether you are coming from a place of sadness, anxiety, loneliness, grief, or confusion. It can also feel scary to look inward and honor your truth and to let your "true colors" shine. Together, we can process and sort through the pain and help you find meaning, clarity, healing, joy, and connection.

I specialize in nontraditional relationships, so whether you're looking for ENM couples therapy, are monogamous and bisexual, or just want a therapist who's open minded, I'm here to help.
Are you sick and tired of getting in the way of your own happiness, while helping everyone else? Have you tried everything to quiet your inner critic—self-help books, yoga, meditation—yet still hear that nagging voice? "You're not good enough, not smart enough, not worthy. Work harder or you don’t deserve happiness." Despite outward signs of success, like a great job, do you feel like it’s never enough or that you don’t deserve it? You’re not alone. Rebels, black sheep, and anyone feeling disconnected from their true self are welcome here. Together, we’ll bridge the gap to a happier, more authentic, skillful, and connected you.

Hi! I'm Jessica. I am a Black/Filipina, bisexual-identified, neurodivergent psychotherapist and new mother. I specialize in treating OCD, generalized and/or social anxiety, and depressive disorders. My practice is open to anyone seeking support - however, I have a particular passion for working with BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and polyam/ENM/kink/sex-positive individuals who want to find a clinician they can relate to and feel safe with. I recognize the unique challenges and strengths within these communities and I strive to create a safe and affirming space for exploration and healing.

I specialize working with trans, queer, bisexual, lesbian, questioning, and gay people of color (Black, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Latino/a/x/e, Multiracial/Biracial), providing gender- and queer-affirming care. I can provide letters of support for gender-affirming surgery. I work well with folks who are self-aware but sometimes "to a fault." You find feelings hard but really want to work on "feel the feelings!" You are willing to take risks and be real when something is hard. You want a change but feel stuck, and are down to try both new and old things. You want to be a better person/friend/partner/coworker/child/etc.

I enjoy working with bisexual & pansexual folks, partners, lovers, friends, and those seeking more pleasure & joy in their lives.
In a culture that equates your productivity to your self-worth, it can be a challenge to feel comfortable and guilt-free when you choose to take care of yourself. I reject the cultural beliefs that shame us and try to force us to endure, rather than enjoy. Seeking help is a show of strength, there is no shame in it, and you shouldn’t have to “tough it out” on your own or “just get by”. Whatever it is about your relationships, connections, or experiences with intimacy that brought you here deserves attention. I’m interested in helping you feel more like yourself, more alive, and more at ease in the world.

I work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, two spirit, queer people, their friends and allies.
Live your truth. Follow your bliss. Do you. Sounds simple, right? Except that, all too often, we convince ourselves that who we are is not enough, that what we want is undeserved. So we stifle our talents, ignore our truth and deny our deepest desires. Before we know it, we’re living someone else’s life, satisfying everyone’s expectations but our own. All to earn the love and acceptance we don’t feel worthy of otherwise. But it doesn’t have to be this way.

Welcome! As a Bilingual (Spanish & English), Queer Bisexual Mexican-American, & Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I understand that most of us want to feel seen, heard, & accepted. Although outward validation & affirmation helps, the deep work & healing lies in being able to validate & affirm ourselves, all of our identities, & lived experiences. In our lives as we continue evolving & changing as individuals, we reach points where the coping strategies we have previously used, & that have helped us survive at one point, may no longer serve us, & they can actually interfere with our ability to connect to ourselves & others.
