About Sequoia
Sequoia listens without judgment and follows each person’s lead. She blends talk with practical tools so clients can try new ways of coping between sessions. She pays attention to emotional safety and moves at a pace that fits each person’s needs.
Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, mindfulness practices, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. These methods are used as tools rather than strict rules, chosen to fit a person’s goals and circumstances. That can mean learning skills to reduce panic, shifting unhelpful thinking, or slowing down to notice what matters.
Across seven years of practice she has worked with issues such as trauma and abuse, intimacy-related challenges, low self-esteem, social anxiety, and life transitions. Sequoia supports people who feel isolated or stuck and those rebuilding after loss or a difficult change.
Sessions are conducted in English from her California practice. She does not accept international clients. If you want to explore working together, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on availability.
