It takes real courage to take this first step toward prioritizing your mental health, and I want to honor that. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, unfamiliar, or even intimidating, and I understand that. Maybe you’ve spent a long time in survival mode, developing ways of coping that helped you get through hard experiences but may no longer serve you. That can show up as disconnecting from yourself or others, struggling with boundaries, or carrying a story about yourself shaped by cultural or relational expectations. Wherever you are, we can start exactly where you are.
I'm a multicultural first generation female. I enjoy having the privilege to work with a variety of people in an effort to improve lives.
My work centers queer and transgender preteens, teens, and adults, as well as individuals with current or past foster care involvement. My clients may be feeling overwhelmed, questioning their identity, or don't know where to start with therapy. I can support you by helping you notice patterns and build trust in your own process.
I love mental health. I love listening to people and diving into the challenges my clients face on a daily basis. I am humbled with the invitation to join your journey, and help you learn how to help yourself. We all have the tools to undertake the obstacles that we encounter; sometimes we need someone to help us take a step back to find a different perspective. I appreciate the bravery and courage that it takes for each of my clients to let me into their lives and become vulnerable with me.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a background in fine art and over 20 years of experience working closely with creatives. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in helping individuals navigate trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and personal growth. I believe therapy is a space for self-discovery, healing, and meaningful change.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Downey
Searching for therapists in Downey starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life change. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also help you understand how they work, what sessions may focus on, and whether their style feels like a good fit.
In a smaller city like Downey, nearby in-person appointments may be more limited than in larger parts of Los Angeles County. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in California. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and practical details like session format.
Therapy in Downey can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after your benefits are verified, and book directly when you’re ready.
