I am a dual board-certified Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) with more than 25 years of clinical experience and board certifications as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions through personalized medication management and supportive psychotherapy.

My approach is patient-centered, recognizing that every individual's experiences, strengths, and goals are unique. I work closely with each client to develop a personalized treatment plan that promotes emotional wellness, resilience, and long-term recovery.

My priority is to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to participate in your care. Together, we focus not only on reducing symptoms but also on building healthy coping strategies, restoring balance, and improving overall quality of life. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, or co-occurring substance use concerns, I am committed to providing thoughtful, evidence-based care that supports your journey toward lasting wellness.

Hello, I'm stacey—a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) since February 2020. I hold a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology from The Wright Institute.


My practice warmly welcomes Filipinos, vegans, mixed-race individuals, and immigrants navigating anxiety, depression, identity exploration, grief and loss, stress, and life transitions. While I've had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and older adults throughout my career, my current focus is on supporting adults finding their path forward.


Outside of therapy, you'll find me immersed in personal finance books, enjoying long leisurely walks, exploring spiritual growth, or dreaming about one day living abroad with my wife.


I believe healing happens in connection—and I'm honored to walk alongside you on yours.
