Dominique Yarritu, LMFT
President-Elect
Dominique has been a member of SCV-CAMFT since 2013 during her first year of graduate school at Palo Alto University in Counseling Psychology. She volunteered on a couple of occasions for luncheon write-ups; after a hiatus during which she pursued a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with an emphasis in somatic studies at Pacifica Graduate Institute, she found her way back to the Chapter as the Editorial Chair in 2020. Dominique is delighted to have been nominated President Elect and is looking forward to collaborating with her colleagues on the Board and committee members to provide our diverse and rich community at large with a thriving Chapter. In her newly-launched private practice, Dominique draws from mindfulness, humanistic, psychodynamic, Jungian, and integrative theories to address mood and anxiety disorders. She has a particular interest in individuation, major life transitions, cross-cultural concerns, relationship issues, divorce and infidelity, and reproductive choices, especially third party procreation. Dominique sees adults and young adults, providing online therapy in English and French to individuals and couples. In her free time, Dominique enjoys spending time with her family, friends, pets, running, biking, dreaming, and being.
Evelyn Lomio, AMFT
Secretary
Evelyn Lomio is pleased to join the SCV-CAMFT Board of Directors as Secretary. What initially drew Evelyn to join SCV-CAMFT was the offering of the pre-licensed support groups in which she found a place to foster her professional development and create new relationships. Evelyn brings a wide breath of experience, from working for Silicon Valley high-tech companies to earning her Juris Doctorate working in the field of immigration. A career break to spend time with her children presented the opportunity to discover that counseling psychology offered the best way for her to channel her passion for helping others. Evelyn is employed at Thrive Family Therapy and Almaden Valley Counseling Services. Evelyn works with a wide variety of clients, but is especially drawn to working with those in the LGBTQ community and those who have experienced emotional abuse from narcissistic relationships. She is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and also experienced with CBT and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Her humanistic approach takes the whole individual into consideration. Evelyn is an avid hiker and uses photography as her creative outlet.
Brandon Hoshiko, LMFT
Director of Communications and Technology
Ahoy all! I’m Brandon Hoshiko, he.his.him, and excited to join the SCV-CAMFT board. This year, 2021, is my first rodeo with our SCV Chapter. I earned a master's degree from Santa Clara University in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Corrections. Prior to that, I taught elementary school and studied classroom interventions; my life also remembers brief opportunities employed at a flower store, in a medical lab, and on a fresh-cut tree lot. Right now, my life prioritizes practicing yoga, exercise, and meditation while volunteering, exploring, indulging in chocolates, and enjoying time with my family. I nurture a small private practice and volunteer with our local suicide and crisis services. I have experience with Brainspotting, CBT, crisis & suicide intervention, hypnotherapy, and other techniques, but I'm open to work with most anyone interested in learning about themselves. I’ve been told that I’m seen as a warm therapist who is accepting and affirming. I think I see myself as an integrative clinician who practices collaboratively to create a space safe enough for people to heal themselves. It’s a privilege for me to serve on the SCV-CAMFT board. I aim to serve us all and our profession dutifully.
