More about me

Licensing: MA, LMFT Years in Practice: 8 State: California

Thank you for reading my profile – I hope I will get a chance to meet with you soon!

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed by the state of California, Board of Behavioral Sciences, LMFT #117301, with nine years of counseling experience working with adults, children and teenagers, individually and in groups. When working with adults, I find it helpful to remember and honor the precious children they once were, and to strive to treat them with the sensitivity, kindness, patience and unconditional positive regard that they still need and deserve now that they are grown up.

I look forward to working with you to increase your resilience and psychological flexibility, so that you can be more open, aware and engaged in life. I will encourage you to explore your own values and help you to take positive actions towards them. I hope to help you to feel better, have more fulfilling relationships and feel empowered to lead a more meaningful life.

My counseling style is based on a special client-centered relationship that is caring, respectful, genuine and accepting, to encourage your self-compassion and personal growth. I use an eclectic approach of evidence-based practices that best suit your individual strengths and needs, and that provide you with coping skills you can use when you need them. We can also explore the use of mindfulness training and the power of metaphors to help you tap into your own brainpower.

These are difficult times. Even in times like these we can still find meaning, and move towards hope, individuation and joy! I would be honored to be a small part of your life journey. I would like to help you to explore and expand your own unique potential!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Overall

Pamela is such a great therapist. She listens and has helpful suggestions. Worksheets are great too.

Pamela has been an immense help in coping with a difficult situation I am going through. She always remembers the details of everything we spoke about, and seems to really care for my well being. I am grateful I was connected with her and appreciate her insight.

Pamela is very understanding and she has been very helpful with me in dealing with my issues. She is always available to respond and the excercises she sends help me alot

Pamela is extremely kind and caring and uses a lot of great tools and strategies for learning to heal. She uses relatable stories and anecdotes to let you know that you’re not alone in how you’re feeling. She also sends plenty of additional worksheets and information for you to fill out between sessions (if you choose to) to keep you on track. Thanks Pamela for the less clinical and more personal approach.

Pamela has been great help. She is an active listener and great communicator. She has offered tools to help me succeed in my journey. Highly recommend Pamela!!

Super sweet, caring and attentive. I feel listened to and heard. Wonderful.

Pamela is kind and thoughtful. She is hands down the best therapist I’ve ever had.

She’s the best I’ve ever had.

Pamela responds quickly, shares resources and personal experience.

I really appreciate Pamela. She listens and tells it how it is. Straight up. She gives good insight and will also provide literature and worksheets. Very helpful.

Pamela is great & incredibly genuine. It is so easy to talk to her and she really cares about listening when you just need to vent. Her solutions have been very helpful in managing my anxiety. By far by best experience with a therapist.

It’s like having the best advisor I’ve never had and I trust her advice and opinion 100% which is a great thing to have in a therapist client relationship. Feels like a true friend as well

Pamela is a great listener and provides great advice. We seem to be on the same page.

Excellent listener and communicates well. Really expands horizons.

It’s only been a short time that I’ve been receiving therapy services with Pamela, and already I feel like she got to the heart of the matter and provided applicable strategies in a very quick fashion, but in also a caring and genuine way. I appreciate her so much. BetterHelp has been a great choice after seeking therapy for a long time but not getting anywhere with therapy through my medical provider and being unable to match with a therapist locally. I’m very lucky that I got matched with Pamela and would recommend her expertise to anyone who is seeking help.

fabulous

I enjoy talking to Pamela

Just beginning my journey with her, but now I feel like have more of a voice.

Pamela is one of my most favorite therapist. She just gets it and I can tell her stuff and I definitely feel validated and heard. And I’m so glad she seems very knowledgeable, experienced, and sincere! Happy to have found her!

Pamela is the best! Therapy with her has been life-changing. She has a deep sense of empathy, high level of professionalism, and she makes me feel important, understood, at ease and cared about. I recommend her 100% and feel lucky to have her as my therapist.

I feel very lucky to have found a therapist that can help de stress my life and connect on a deeper level.

Pamela is an effective and supportive therapist. She brings to the table good ideas and positive energy.

I’ve only had two sessions with Pamela but I feel I have made a good choice investing in my mental health with her. I feel better knowing I have someone in my court to support me and help me through some difficult things.

There is life before I knew Pamela and life after she became my counselor. They're both radically different thanks to her knowledge and expertise when it came to helping me cope with the issues I was dealing with. I can function much more easily day to day all thanks to Pamela. I could sing praises all day about how life-changing the past few months have been since beginning our sessions. I feel better, my relationships are flourishing, and even when things get difficult from time to time, I have learned invaluable tools to help get through them with ease.

Pamela has been extremely responsive and a complete joy to talk to. I feel like she has been non-judgmental while still being direct and realistic about my mental health challenges and family/work situations. I would recommend her to anyone.

Extremely knowledgeable. Great listener that keeps up with everything, doesn’t miss a beat. I appreciate how she responds quickly and checks up on me.

She is great, and has good advice

Pamela is a fantastic therapist.

Pamela is a great listener. She always has supportive comments and suggestions for how to deal with something. She's been able to help me process some difficult emotions and challenging personal situation in a friendly, constructive manner. She also makes sure I know how to use the Betterhelp platform and the various ways to communicate on it. Pamela is very responsive to messages and proactively reaches out to stay connected. I recommend her highly to anyone needing a friendly, supportive counselor.

Pamela is very helpful explains things very well and gives great examples and listens 2 my concerns has been a huge help 4 me
