Individual Therapy.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or exhausted by life's endless stressors?

Facing a crossroads?

Looking for therapist with both professional and lived experience?

​My name is Lotus and I may be able to help. I am licensed therapist offering virtual services to California residents (9+ years old). My practice is culturally responsive, trauma informed and rooted in social justice. 

I offer a holistic clinical experience that fuses evidence-based mental health practices (such as psychodynamic therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) with intuitive forms of healing (such as meditation, ancestral work and art) to honor and heal the mind, body and Spirit.

As your therapist, I aim to function as a guide to identify the root causes of your suffering and develop the clarity and skills needed to build a healthy, fulfilling life.

Even while navigating multiple forms of stress, transition, violence and oppression, it is possible to heal from trauma and thrive.

My clinical training and experience includes:​

  • Identity exploration and affirmation at all stages of life

  • PTSD and complex trauma

  • depression, self harm, suicidal ideation and history of suicide attempt(s)

  • general anxiety, social anxiety and panic disorders

  • Eating and Feeding Disorders

  • neurodivergence including Autism Spectrum and ADHD/ADD

  • substance use, harm reduction, recovery and 12-step programs

  • chronic illness and pain

  • caregiver stress including parents and loved ones of those struggling with mental health conditions

  • work and/or academic stress

  • cultural and racial stress

  • family of origin and relationship issues

  • religious and spiritual issues

  • intimacy and sexual concerns

  • consensual and ethical non-monogamy, polyamory and open relationships

  • BDSM and kink

  • Multiplicity and Plurality

Please note that my priority is to support you in your healing journey. If I am not able to offer you what you need, I hope to refer you to a trusted, experienced colleague that may be a better fit.
