Hi, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my goal is to support you by building on the strengths you already have. I work with people going through life transitions, depression, anxiety, self-esteem challenges, school stress, adjustment concerns, and trauma. I know that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, so I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can share openly without judgment. In our work together, I use proven approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while also focusing on what makes you resilient and unique. Whether you’re navigating a big change, working through difficult emotions, or wanting to better understand yourself, I’ll be here to walk alongside you. My hope is that our time together helps you feel supported, empowered, and more confident in facing life’s challenges

David Marquez

Therapist

Virtual • California


My name is David Marquez and I am a Licensed Clinicial Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I have been a social worker for over 10 years and graduated from San Francisco State University. As a Latino therapist, I’m especially passionate about serving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, and I bring cultural awareness, warmth, and real conversation into the room. Your identity, experiences, and personality aren’t side notes here — they’re part of the story we honor. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and occasionally sprinkled with humor — because sometimes the most healing moments come right after we say, “Ohhh... that makes sense.”

Silviana Capra

Silviana Capra

Therapist

Virtual • California


My journey into therapy began with a deep curiosity about human resilience and the desire to help others find strength through life’s hardest challenges. During my graduate training, I had the opportunity to work with survivors of trauma. This experience showed me the powerful role therapy can play in recovery and solidified my commitment to supporting others through their healing journeys. I’m continually driven by the fundamental belief that everyone has the potential for positive growth and change. Seeing my clients gain confidence or find peace makes my work incredibly rewarding.

I work with adults who are managing anxiety, life transitions, and those seeking support for self-esteem issues. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a plan for growth that feels empowering and achievable. I best serve those who are ready to unearth the uncomfortable. Those who have felt stuck and just need the tools and a safe space to connect back to themselves. Those who have a desire to intentionally sit with the things that are sticky, so that it can stop ruling their life and they can take the reins. Is this you? This work is hard. If you’re ready to face it in a safe way, I’m the person for you.
