More about Edwina

- LMFT
My therapeutic approach combines warmth, authenticity, and evidence-based strategies that help you feel both supported and empowered to create real change.
I bring a comfortable, conversational style that makes therapy feel less clinical. I try to use humor and am not afraid to share genuine reactions or observations that might help you gain new perspectives.
I believe therapy should include both serious reflection and lighter moments. I focus on helping you understand the “why” behind your patterns while giving you practical tools you can use in your everyday life.
I am licensed in California with years of experience working with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, anger management, self-esteem. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change, and I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
