Hello! My name is Karen and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I enjoy working with first and second gen college students who experience depression, anxiety, body image concerns, and who have a history of trauma. Maybe you feel a huge sense of responsibility for being the first in your family to go to college. Or maybe you are having a harder time adjusting to the educational and social demands of college than you thought you would. As a first gen college student myself, I've been there. I know firsthand that this is both a time of growth and complex emotions. Whether you're in your first year or just about to graduate, I want to help you process the complexities of college and feel more confident in yourself. I'm happy to talk for a short consultation and answer any questions you may have about therapy. For those with insurance, I am in network with Aetna, Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Carelon, and Cigna. I also have a few sliding scale openings for those with financial hardship. Reach out to me to get started!

Whether you’re navigating academic pressure, relationship challenges, questions about your future, or simply trying to feel more confident in who you are, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. Our goal is to help you feel more grounded, build healthier relationships, and move forward with greater confidence and purpose.

Licensed Psychologist in CA & IL. *Please note: I am unable to see actively enrolled Santa Clara University students for therapy services due to a conflict of interest, as I also work at Santa Clara University's Counseling and Psychological Services.

*Accepting New Clients Throughout CA* You keep finding yourself stuck in the same unhelpful thought loops, behaviors, and relationship patterns that make you feel anxious. You’re tired of overthinking your interactions, worrying about disappointing people, struggling to communicate how you truly feel, or being hard on yourself, and you’re ready for a change. A lot of people come to us after being in unhealthy romantic relationships that made them question their reality and themselves, leading to confusion and self-doubt. Many of the people we support also experienced not feeling loved, heard, or valued by their caregivers throughout childhood and adolescence. These experiences can have a lasting impact on your self-esteem, relationships, and the way you feel about yourself. Therapy can help you heal from trauma that gets stored in the mind and body, so you are no longer defined by your past. You can learn to set healthy boundaries, manage anxiety with confidence, and build secure relationships. It can also help you understand yourself better and shed light on subconscious ways of coping with issues in your life that might not be helpful. Our goal is for you to achieve self-love because you deserve to live life fully. We feel confident that we can work with you to nourish the most important relationship of all, the one with yourself! If you live in California and are ready to take the first step in your healing process, please feel free to reach out. We can set up a free consultation to learn more about what you’re looking for and connect you with a good-fit therapist. You deserve to live a life of fulfillment, and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

*Accepting New Clients Online Throughout CA* Figuring out who you are and what you want can feel complicated when you’re surrounded by expectations from the people and world around you. You find yourself overthinking your decisions, putting pressure on yourself to get things right, or worrying about disappointing those closest to you. You may find yourself doomscrolling to disconnect, comparing yourself to others, losing sleep, or taking your stress out on people you care about. Or perhaps painful experiences from childhood or in relationships have left you questioning yourself, feeling anxious, or struggling with the belief that you’re not good enough. In our work together, I provide a space away from all the outside noise where you can slow down to better understand yourself and what you need. We can explore how your environment, past experiences, relationships, and social settings have shaped the way you feel about yourself, the decisions you make, and how you show up in relationships today. Together, we can work through past painful experiences and heal the unhelpful relationship patterns that stem from them. We can build healthier relationships and develop greater clarity about who you are and what you want, so you can move through life with more confidence and self-compassion. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re used to figuring things out on your own. You don’t have to have everything figured out or know exactly what to say. We’ll build trust over time, take things at your pace, and you’ll never be pushed to share something you’re not ready for. I’d be honored to support you and look forward to connecting with you.

I'm Lauryn (she/her), a Registered Dietitian who helps people with prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, disordered eating, and body image concerns, especially when those overlap. My clients aren't looking for another diet. They want support, knowledge, and a flexible plan that fits real life. I work from a weight-inclusive, intuitive eating, Health at Every Size (HAES) lens, shaped by my background in eating disorder care at the PHP/IOP and outpatient levels. Many of the people I work with are women of color, queer folks, and people in larger bodies who have spent years feeling judged or dismissed in medical spaces. Here you'll find no judgment: we'll improve your labs, energy, and blood sugar while you heal your relationship with food, keeping your culture, preferences, and values at the center. Ready to start?

Hi there! I’m Dajana Moore, RDN, CDCES, a bilingual Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist passionate about helping you feel confident, supported, and empowered as you navigate diabetes, hormonal health, and chronic disease management. My goal is to help you build sustainable habits that fit your lifestyle while giving you the knowledge and tools to take control of your health. My passion for nutrition comes from helping people feel more confident in managing their health through education, compassion, and personalized care. With years of experience providing both one-on-one and group diabetes education, I understand that lasting behavior change doesn’t happen overnight. My approach is patient centered, supportive, and collaborative, meeting you where you are and helping you make meaningful progress without judgment or pressure. I was born and raised in Costa Rica, where the values of family, community, and compassion shaped my approach to supporting others. As a bilingual professional, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care and education. I believe nutrition should feel practical, empowering, and personalized. Rather than focusing on perfection, I work alongside you to create realistic habits that support your long term health and fit into your everyday life. My areas of specialty include diabetes, prediabetes, insulin resistance, hormonal health, chronic disease management, and women’s health. Using evidence based nutrition guidance, motivational interviewing, and a coaching approach, I tailor each session to your unique goals, preferences, and experiences. Together, we’ll focus on building confidence, strengthening self management skills, improving medication adherence when appropriate, and creating sustainable lifestyle changes that help you feel your best. As a bilingual provider fluent in English and Spanish, I’m passionate about making nutrition education accessible, culturally responsive, and welcoming for every client. I strive to create a supportive environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout your health journey. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, staying active, and continuing to learn new ways to better support my clients. I’m excited to partner with you and help you discover that managing your health can feel achievable, sustainable, and tailored to your unique needs. Ready to start?

Hello! I'm Cecilia Cruz, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who helps people manage prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, heart health, and women's health while keeping the cultural foods they love on the table. I offer sessions in English and Spanish. My approach is rooted in the belief that food is medicine. I don't label foods as "good" or "bad," because those labels lead to shame and guilt. Before joining Diabetes Digital, I provided nutrition support to vulnerable and underserved communities in San Francisco through nonprofit work. As a Mexican American dietitian, I honor each person's culture and experience, and I'll guide you toward sustainable health goals that fit your life. Ready to start?

Have you ever felt like managing your health is a full-time job—especially when you’re juggling a million other things? Between conflicting nutrition advice, ever-changing health goals, and just getting dinner on the table, it’s a lot. I get it—because I’ve been there too. I’m Jessica, a Registered Dietitian, mom of two, and someone who’s been offering nutrition counseling since 2007. My interest in nutrition started in high school when I struggled with binge eating, diet culture, and a difficult relationship with my body. Over the years, my personal experiences—living with ADHD, navigating thyroid and autoimmune conditions, and managing preeclampsia and high blood sugar during pregnancy—have only deepened my empathy and shaped the way I support others. I specialize in helping people simplify food—whether that’s meal planning, grocery shopping, or creating sustainable routines that support your health without taking over your life. I’ve worked across private practice, public health, behavioral health, fitness resorts, and food service programs—but what I love most is working one-on-one with clients to find practical, personalized strategies that actually stick. These days, I work with people managing conditions like prediabetes, PCOS, gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol—especially those who feel overwhelmed by diet trends or unsure how to start. I offer neurodivergent-affirming care and have a special passion for supporting fellow ADHDers in developing realistic nutrition routines that meet them where they are. If you’re looking for an approach grounded in intuitive eating, weight-inclusive care, and compassion, you’re in the right place. I believe food should be a source of nourishment—not stress—and that everyone deserves to feel good in their body without chasing unrealistic ideals. With a focus on intuitive eating, my goal is to help clients build peace with food and their bodies, steering them away from the frustrations of yo-yo dieting and food-related mental struggles. I’m committed to guiding clients toward healthier, sustainable habits that allow them to enjoy food and meet their health goals. More about me: I love spending time with family and exploring new things that give a fun, dopamine-kick; be it starting a garden, playing a new sport, painting, thrifting, etc. When I’m not working, I’m chasing my two high-energy kids, experimenting in the kitchen or reading fantasy books on my kindle!What to expect: Sessions are collaborative, judgment-free, and tailored to your real life. You’ll leave with a plan that feels doable—even on the busiest days. Ready to start? Book a visit directly at https://diabetesdigital.co/start.

Together, we'll build a trusting relationship and begin creating meaningful change.
