About

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. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, especially when you have spent years trying to manage things on your own. I believe therapy is a place to feel understood, develop insight, and learn practical skills that fit who you are. Together, we can create a path toward greater calm, confidence, and connection.

Education & Licensure
M.A. in Counseling Psychology, John F. Kennedy University
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, intense emotions, or neurodivergence make everyday challenges harder to navigate. 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.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

Your Mental Health Matters. As an integrative therapist, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help you better understand yourself, strengthen emotional regulation, reduce anxiety, and build practical tools for lasting change.
