Warmth and Light Counseling
Virtual therapy for individuals and couples in California
Welcome to Warmth and Light Counseling
Are you stuck in a cycle?
Maybe you are generally a very self-aware person. You don’t shy away from inner work, and you love a good reflection activity. You can see the unhealthy patterns. But changing them; that feels like a different story.
I know you are frustrated with the endless cycle that you have found yourself in, again, and your inner critic might be really loud right now. But please hear this: It is not because you don’t care enough. And it is not because there is something wrong with you or you are too damaged, or whatever other mean things you might be telling yourself.
Here’s the thing…
Everything we do serves a purpose. From the habits we create, to the reactions we have in stressful situations, and even the way we communicate with others. There’s a reason why you do the things you do, even if you have come to the realization that what you are doing is not helping you overall. Together, you and I will explore those reasons so that we can get started on understanding what needs you have that you may be ultimately trying to meet with these patterns/cycles.
Understanding what you need takes reflection, insight, exploration, and willingness. I know that may sound daunting. But if you are willing to engage in the process, you will give yourself the opportunity to experience true freedom from your old patterns that were keeping you stuck. You deserve that. And, you won’t be doing it alone! I am here to support you every step of the way.

New to Virtual Therapy?
Just like in-person therapy, virtual therapy has both it’s benefits and limitations. The trick to enjoying virtual therapy and getting the most out of your session is preparation.
Here are some tips to prepare for your virtual session:
Make sure you have a safe and private place to meet
Check that your wi-fi connection is strong and that your computer or phone you will be using is charged
Grab some headphones for extra privacy, especially if you are in a home or building with others in nearby rooms/hallways
Get comfortable!! A huge benefit to virtual therapy is you can take your session from a comfy and familiar place. Grab a blanket, your favorite beverage, some grounding items, even a snack if you’d like!
