Great to meet you!

Hello. My name is Penny, and I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I am here to support you on your journey toward healing. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and confidentiality. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I value the courage it takes to be vulnerable and I ensure my clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences. I am committed to building a trusting, collaborative relationship.

My approach to therapy

I offer personalized therapy for anger management, anxiety, depression, behavioral issues, relationship issues, and family conflict. I utilize cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I work with adults, adolescents, teens, and couples; and I offer a compassionate and client-centered approach.

What you can expect from me

I focus on strengths and provide a safe, supportive space for clients to explore feelings, develop coping skills, and achieve their goals. I am here to support your journey to well-being; and I offer 15-minute phone or video consultations to get started. Initial appointments are typically scheduled within 1-2 weeks, or sooner if you urgently need support.
