Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Fresno, CA

I am an LMFT trained and experienced in a wide variety of health conditions and clinical disorders associated with Psychology providing the highest standard of patient care. I am a Registered Play Therapist (RPT).

I’ve helped people work through trauma, burnout, ADHD, Bipolar mood concerns, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and others, in ways that honor their pace and their story. Our work together is grounded in honesty, humor, and compassion.

As a therapist in Fresno and online in CA, I help people whose minds and bodies are tired of being on high alert. You might notice every possible threat around you, feel constantly on edge, or struggle to relax even in moments that should feel safe. You may carry guilt or shame from the ways you react when overwhelmed.

As therapy continues, you begin to notice small but real shifts. The mornings feel a bit lighter. You catch yourself laughing without effort. You start to sleep better. You find it easier to connect with family or friends, to be present, to breathe. These small moments build into something bigger

— a sense of belonging in your own life again.

I am a dedicated clinician with 10+years of experience working in mental health services. Therapy is the first step in your journey of self exploration and change.

There may be times when you wish you had someone who truly listens, deeply and without judgment. Let me be that person for you. Whatever challenges you’re facing right now, I’m here to help you move toward the next chapter of your life with clarity and confidence. Together, we’ll honor your unique story and set clear, achievable goals that actually feel within reach.

Weather you have been considering therapy, worked with therapy in the past or loved ones are suggesting reaching out-welcome to my practice. I work with individuals, couples and families in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career issues, job dissatisfaction. My specialty areas included the assessment and treatment of Perinatal and Postpartum Depression/Anxiety and Grief and Loss.

I grew up in a small town in Hawaii, then came to Southern California and began studying psychology in 2001. I completed my master’s degree at Fuller School of Psychology in 2010 and served children and families at a community mental health agency for 10 years, also starting a private practice in 2015. While I loved island life, I’ve put down roots here through friendships, involvement in my community, and my love of LA’s cultural diversity.
