My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space to allow clients to feel willing to share their experiences, challenges, and insecurities. I offer empathy, validation, and perspective to encourage clients to be more comfortable being their genuine, authentic selves, which we all deserve.

Hello and welcome! My name is J.C. and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Southern California.

Thanks for connecting. Allow me to introduce myself. I have worked with a variety of clients dealing with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, OCD, trauma, issues of identity, questioning how to relate to loved ones, and working through issues of faith and connection to God. The common thread is connecting the past to the present and helping you make sense of questions and problems that are likely causing you a lot of distress.

Welcome. Thank you for your interest in my private practice. I believe we all have the ability to live our lives to the fullest. Sometimes we develop patterns of thinking or behaviors that keep us stuck and unhappy in our life. My goal is to help my clients overcome whatever is holding them back from feeling satisfied and moving forward in life. Clients come with different difficulties in mood, fears, past-trauma, self esteem, behavioral issues, difficulties with having healthier life style, or other issues. We work together to help you move forward which might mean feeling uncomfortable, making changes, and facing fears.

Embracing the decision to seek assistance reflects excellent courage, and I applaud you for taking this step. I firmly believe in the inherent transformative potential within each individual to shape the person they aspire to become. My approach revolves around connecting with your innate strengths and character, paving the way for healing and personal growth. With a wealth of experience working with diverse age groups, from children to adults, I am committed to supporting individuals from various walks of life.

There are many life issues that we struggle with. My goal is to help my client address those issues and grow through that process to be more productive, more fulfilled, and happy.

Sometimes we need an unbiased perspective when faced with major life changes. Explore and resolve unanswered questions about your GENDER or Sexual Orientation with a caring and experienced therapist. Learn proven techniques for managing anxiety, depression or alcohol / drug use. Does the discovery that one is Transgender, Gay or Lesbian necessarily mean the end of one's current relationship? Discover ways to challenge self limiting beliefs and relationship patterns learned during childhood and adolescence.

Welcome! So, you decided to check this out? Carolina is glad you did. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist in California. Deciding to take on therapy can be a nerve-racking experience. Therapy is a place for you to express your thoughts and understand your emotions in a safe and supportive environment. My method is nontraditional in the sense that I engage in back-and-forth dialogue rather than the conversation being one-sided. My experience with community mental health and psychiatric hospitals influenced a Cognitive Behavioral and solution-focused approach.
