I believe that most people are either stuck repeating a cycle of generational trauma, or carrying the burden of bravely breaking that cycle. You deserve to break that cycle by discovering and embracing your best self, without fear or shame. But I understand that this is not always easy. I can help you break down the barriers that prevent you from achieving your goals and assist you on a transformative journey to becoming the person you want to be. Therapy is a process of the human spirit requiring courage, creativity, and self-compassion and I welcome you to join me.

Paula Xexeo

Paula Xexeo

Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in the South Bay area of California, and I work with clients virtually. Before starting my own practice, I spent two and a half years at a residential treatment program working with adolescents and their families, using individual, family, and group therapy to support teens through some of their hardest moments. Earlier in my career, I worked in community mental health, where I supported a wide range of clients, including couples, children in elementary school through an art therapy partnership program, and adults of all ages. As I grow my private practice, I'm looking to work with a broader range of populations and case types than I did in my previous roles.

Kimberly Esse

Kimberly Esse

Therapist

Virtual • California


Life can feel overwhelming when you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or a major life transition. You may appear to have everything together while privately feeling emotionally exhausted, worried, stuck, or unsure about what comes next. I provide a supportive space where you can talk openly, better understand what you are experiencing, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of professional experience. My educational background includes the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and my experience includes behavioral health, medical social work, trauma-informed care, grief and loss, chronic health concerns, caregiver support, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I help clients identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, build healthier boundaries, increase confidence, and make meaningful changes in daily life. I individualize treatment because therapy is not one-size-fits-all.

I provide online therapy to adults throughout California and Nevada, including professionals, caregivers, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship or family stress, work-related stress, health-related concerns, or significant life changes. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian faith-integrated therapy, incorporating faith, prayer, spiritual values, and biblical principles in a way that is comfortable and meaningful to you.

You do not have to be in crisis to begin therapy. Sometimes you simply know that something needs to change. Together, we can work toward healthier coping, stronger relationships, greater emotional well-being, and a renewed sense of direction and hope.

No matter where you are on your journey, HOPE Abounds.
