Hi, I'm Jael!
I am a LMFT born and raised in Los Angeles, California. Welcome! So you're taking the step to look for a therapist, that is awesome! It's a big step and could be overwhelming with all the options you have. Sometimes, making the first move can feel especially overwhelming if you are the first in your family or community to seek therapy or if you are trying it for the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time.
I like to utilize a CBT approach with a humanistic perspective. Helping clients to identify and reframe negative thought patterns while fostering a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment that aligns with humanistic principles. It allows me to support clients to feel supported and understood as they explore their cognitive distortions and develop healthier coping strategies by promoting self-acceptance, exploration of personal values, and meaningful life goals, ensuring my client's individuality and autonomy.
I want to meet you where you are and work together to support you in reaching your personal goals. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming life experiences, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. Let's work together and create the life you choose!
