Faauuga Moliga, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I believe that every person carries within them the capacity to heal — and that the right support, at the right time, can make all the difference. My approach is rooted in the understanding that what happened to you is not who you are. Whether you are carrying childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, or the kind of emotional overwhelm that makes everyday life feel like too much — I meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and we build from there. I bring a culturally responsive, trauma-informed lens to every session. Using EMDR, Parts Work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness, we go beneath the surface to address what is actually driving your pain — not just manage the symptoms. I know that reaching out takes courage. My role is to make that decision worth it — by creating a space that feels safe, honest, and built around you. With offices in San Francisco and Burlingame, California, I am here when you are ready.

Healing is possible — and you do not have to figure it out alone. I have spent over 15 years walking alongside people through life's hardest moments — childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, grief, and the kind of pain that is hard to put into words. My clients come from all walks of life across the San Francisco Bay Area. Some are executives, entrepreneurs, and high-achieving professionals who carry the weight of success alongside private struggles that rarely get seen. Others are navigating cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, family pain, or life transitions that feel impossible to manage alone. Many come from communities that have historically been underserved by mental health systems and are finally finding a space where they feel truly seen. Whatever your background, your income, your culture, or your story — you belong here. I specialize in trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and culturally responsive care for adults, teens, and youth. I bring deep roots in Pacific Islander, Samoan, and BIPOC communities alongside extensive experience working with affluent and high-achieving individuals who are ready to go beneath the surface and do the real work. Because healing does not care how much money you make. It only asks that you show up. In person in San Francisco and Burlingame. Telehealth available throughout California. Wherever you are in your journey, there is a place for you here.
