You are not a drop in the ocean, you are the entire ocean in a drop. -Rumi

Welcome

Hi, I’m Sossity,

For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to help people see how amazing they are. I see everyone as a human being first, followed by their life experiences and the results of them.

I’m a Santa Cruz native, UCSC banana slug alumni, and a California state licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

I began my therapy career working with people experiencing active emergency crises that require immediate care and attention. My time spent in psychiatric facilities, crisis stabilization units, leading out-patient groups, and providing individual therapy has given me great empathy, compassion, and an in-depth feeling of connectedness to the human experience.

Therapy Services

Your Mental Health Matters.

I offer Telehealth therapy to clients throughout California, making care accessible and flexible.

I provide a supportive, thoughtful space for adolescents (12+) and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, AuDHD, and the emotional impact of life transitions and relationships. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from trying to manage their inner world while meeting the demands of everyday life. Therapy is a place to slow things down, make sense of patterns, and find relief without judgment.

As a trained crisis clinician, I also work with clients across multiple levels of acuity and understand the care and continuity required after stepping down from a IOP/PHP program or an inpatient psychiatric hospital stay.

Whether you’re seeking clarity, emotional support, or tools to navigate change; together, I can help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in your life.

My Approach

  • Person-centered therapy is about having a space where you can be fully yourself without fear of being judged. The therapist shows up as a real, supportive person who listens deeply and respects your experience. In therapy, the focus is on helping you trust your own feelings and insights so you can move toward growth and change at your own pace.

  • Narrative therapy is about looking at your life as a story and remembering that you are not the problem; the problem is the problem. In therapy, you talk about how certain stories about yourself may have formed over time and how they’ve affected the way you see yourself and your choices. Together, we work to strengthen the parts of your story that reflect your values, resilience, and the person you want to be moving forward.

  • DBT is a practical, skills-based approach that helps you manage intense emotions, handle stress, and navigate relationships more effectively. It focuses on finding balance and accepting yourself as you are while also learning tools to make changes that improve your life. In therapy, you learn concrete skills for staying grounded, communicating clearly, and responding rather than reacting when things feel overwhelming.

  • ACT therapy is about learning how to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings instead of constantly fighting them. It helps you get clearer about what truly matters to you and take meaningful steps in that direction, even when things feel uncomfortable. In therapy, the focus is on living a fuller, more values-driven life rather than trying to eliminate every hard emotion.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.
