Virtual • Whittier, CA


I’m a licensed therapist with a background in supporting adults and teens through anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship stress. I earned my graduate degree in counseling and have worked in both community-based and private practice settings, which has helped me understand the real-life pressures people carry—work, family, finances, identity, and burnout.

My style is practical and compassionate: we look at patterns, the stories you’ve learned to live by, and what it would feel like to respond differently—more grounded, more empowered, and more like “you.” I often integrate inner child work, trauma-informed care, and skills for emotional regulation and ADHD/executive functioning.

I primarily work with adults who want to improve communication, rebuild trust, and create more secure connection.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chico

Searching for therapists in Chico starts with finding care that fits your needs, preferences, and goals. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Chico is a smaller city, so local in-person appointment options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, session structure, and what each therapist focuses on in care.

Therapy in Chico can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists, check insurance details to confirm coverage and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual sessions when available. You can browse therapists in Chico, review bios, check insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
