More about Hilda
- 20 years' experience

- LMFT
As a licensed therapist in California with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges with cultural sensitivity and compassion. I have deep expertise in working with diverse populations, including older adults, young professionals, and individuals navigating multicultural experiences.
My therapeutic approach honors each person's unique journey, focusing on building self-love, managing social anxiety, and developing resilient coping strategies. I'm particularly passionate about supporting clients through life transitions, workplace stress, chronic health challenges, and intergenerational healing. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a warm, affirming space where clients can explore their experiences and cultivate meaningful personal growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
