Hi! I’m Reina and I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I’m also a Bay Area native, an unapologetic cat lover, a self proclaimed expert of silly reality tv shows, and mom to a sweet, silly little 5 year old.

I work with awesome, fierce women at various stages of motherhood who look like they have it all together on the outside but internally feel like they're consumed with spinning thoughts and worry they're doing it all wrong.

Shloka Iyer

Therapist

Virtual • California


I work with high-functioning adults who are navigating self-doubt, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and life transitions. You might be juggling a lot, appearing “fine” on the outside, but inside things feel heavier, disconnected, or uncertain.

My style is exploratory and grounded. I’ll follow your lead while helping you stay connected to what matters most to you. I use humor often because therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy, and I aim to create a space that feels warm, real, and supportive.

Therapist

I am a lifelong learner who thrives on exploring new places and connecting with new people. When I'm not in the office, you'll usually find me outdoors enjoying quality time with my family and my dog.

The journey into and through adulthood is rarely a straight line. My education in psychology, education, and marriage and family therapy has deepened my holistic and relational perspective to working with clients. Today, my practice mainly focuses on helping adults navigate life transitions, manage anxiety, and establish healthy boundaries. I am dedicated to creating a warm, insightful space where you can untangle complex feelings and built a resilient foundation for the future.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and my practice is dedicated to supporting teenage girls (ages 14+) and young women across California. Beyond my clinical background in specialized hospital units, I am someone who values a high-energy, balanced lifestyle. When I’m not in the hospital, you’ll likely find me rock climbing or weightlifting—activities that keep me grounded and remind me of the importance of resilience. I’m also a big sci-fi fan and love to geek out over a great movie or a deep-dive read. As a bilingual provider, I offer services in both English and Spanish, specializing in helping my patients manage ADHD, hormone related emotional mood swings, and binge eating tendencies.
