More about Theresa
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
As a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, meaningful connections, and resilience through life's challenges. I have extensive experience addressing depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth.
My therapeutic work focuses on empowering individuals, exploring family dynamics, and supporting individuals experiencing isolation, shame, and life stage transitions. Drawing from a Christian-informed perspective, I create a compassionate space where clients can explore their inner world, heal attachment wounds, and rediscover their sense of purpose.
I believe in a holistic approach that honors each person's unique journey. Whether you're struggling with self-esteem, communication challenges, or seeking deeper understanding of yourself, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and genuine care.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
