Therapy should feel honest and useful. I’m Naty, an LMFT offering telehealth across California to adults and teens facing anxiety, panic, trauma, PTSD, grief, or substance use, in English or Spanish. My style is warm and direct: I’ll help you notice patterns and take responsibility for change. You don’t need it all figured out to start.
My approach is direct, and it comes with compassion. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and traumafocused CBT to help you notice the thoughts and patterns that keep anxiety, panic, and trauma in charge, along with mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and strength-based, solution-focused work that builds on what already works. I also support couples and families through relationship strain, grief, and substance use. Healing can be long, messy, and hard. We’ll make room for the difficult parts and move at a pace that respects your needs, with honesty, hope, and care.
Our first session is a chance for you to share what brings you to therapy, what you need, and what you hope to work toward. You're welcome to ask questions at any point, and we can take the conversation at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
I believe therapy works best as a collaboration. Your needs and priorities help guide the direction of each session, while I offer support, thoughtful questions, and guidance along the way. As your needs change, we can adjust our focus together.
