Hi, I am Beth, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. Adoption and foster care require a different kind of heart and a specialized set of tools. With three decades of dedicated experience, I help families navigate the nuances of trauma and "blocked trust." My approach is deeply empathetic, rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection. I provide the seasoned perspective you need to understand your child’s needs—and your own—more deeply. You don't have to do this alone.

I am passionate of all things mental health! I enjoy working in crisis situations, and supporting individuals going through the ups and lows of life. My goal is to sprinkle confidence and joy into life

Welcome to the therapeutic journey.

I work with clients who are experiencing chronic stress, depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, self-sabotage, postpartum, and relationship challenges.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate the deep and often hidden impacts of complex trauma — the kind that comes from chronic, long-term experiences such as childhood abuse, unhealthy relationships, illness, and adversity.

My work is grounded in compassion, safety, and collaboration. I meet each client exactly where they are on their healing journey. My work is guided by the core belief that you are worthy and deserve to thrive emotionally, mentally, and relationally.

Through mindful exploration and specialized care, we will work together to create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides therapy in both Spanish and English, from colloquial to professional levels. My work has included supporting individuals facing HIV/AIDS-related challenges, domestic violence, substance use, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, dual diagnosis, sexuality-related concerns, aging-related issues, and the broader impact these experiences can have on families and support systems. Across community, academic, and clinical settings in Mexico and the U.S., I’ve built a strong foundation in helping people navigate both personal suffering and societal distress.

I’m a licensed therapist with a Master’s in Counseling with an emphasis in Child and Family Therapy, and I’m certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I work with children, adolescents, and families, and I also support moms navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional challenges of early parenthood. I have experience helping with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and school-related concerns, and I especially enjoy working with children and pre-teens using play and creative approaches.
