Online Therapy in California

Online Therapy in California for BIPOC and First Generation Professionals

High-quality care, right where you are.

Since 2019, I have exclusively offered teletherapy to residents throughout California. By leveraging secure, HIPAA-compliant technology, I bring the therapy office to you, whether you’re in Los Angeles or the furthest reaches of the state.

To get started, all you need is a private space, a reliable internet connection, and a smartphone or computer. No complex software is required; you’ll simply click a secure link to join our session. A cozy chair and a warm cup of tea are always highly recommended.

Online therapy has been proven to be just as effective to in-person therapy sessions. APA Research suggests that you can have the same results as in-person therapy in the comfort of your own home, office, dorm or apartment. Most importantly, you receive high quality care; the same licensing and ethics standards apply to online therapists as those who practice in an office.

Why Online Therapy?

Telethealth is amazing even when we aren’t in a global pandemic.

  • It’s great for working parents, busy professionals and students.

  • The convenience is worth it. No need to schedule childcare, drive anywhere, park or pay for parking when going to therapy.

  • It’s ideal for persons who have chronic pain or illness and find it more restful to have online sessions out of their home.

  • It’s perfect for professionals who conduct the majority of their work in the virtual space and prefer to be online, such as tech professionals or video producers.

  • It’s more comfortable at home. Stay in your comfy pajamas, have your pets around, enjoy your tea all while in session.

  • You have more flexibility. Schedule an appointment before work, during lunch or after work. Your time is valuable and having more options is important.

  • Have your computer, laptop or phone ready to join and let’s get to work on your growth and healing.

Why Choose a Bilingual, Seasoned Professional?

With over 20 years of experience, I provide a seasoned, compassionate perspective to individuals navigating the intersection of ambition and heritage. As a Latina, bilingual therapist, I bridge the gap between where you came from and where you are going.

  • No Translation Required: We can move fluidly between English and Spanish, capturing the nuances of your emotions that sometimes get lost in translation.

  • Cultural Shorthand: You don’t have to explain familismo, the pressure of being a child of immigrants, or the unique "imposter syndrome" felt by BIPOC professionals. I already get it.

  • Evidence-Based Depth: Two decades of practice means I offer more than just venting sessions. I provide a comprehensive toolkit designed to help you understand the root of your behaviors.

Is This You?

I specialize in working with BIPOC, immigrants, and children of immigrants who identify as:

  • High Achievers: You’re successful but feel like you’re never doing "enough."

  • The Perfectionist: You struggle with a harsh inner critic and the fear of failure.

  • The Anxious Dreamer: You are constantly "on," struggling to quiet your mind even when the workday ends.

Our Work Together

We won't just talk about your stress; we will transform your relationship with it. Our sessions focus on:

  1. Nervous System Regulation: Learning tangible skills to soothe your body’s "fight or flight" response.

  2. Root-Cause Exploration: Understanding how your upbringing and ancestral history shape your current patterns.

  3. Holistic Growth: Achieving emotional balance that mirrors your professional success.
