I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, and I have really wanted to build

something of my own for a long time. Going into private practice was not an impulsive decision. It is something I have thought about carefully, and I am committed to making it work well for the people I work with. My background includes clinical work with adults and families

across a range of settings from psychiatric hospitals, to non profits and private practice. I am based in the Coachella Valley and serve clients throughout

California via telehealth. I am also in the process of establishing an in-person office here in the

valley, because I know how hard it can be to find consistent, quality mental health care locally.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I also work with people dealing with chronic stress, relationship challenges, and the kind of emotional weight that builds up when life keeps asking more of you than you feel you have to give. I have a

particular connection to working with Latino and bicultural clients, single parents, and people who are navigating coparenting and the identity shifts that come with it.

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 Mental Health Therapist in Manhattan Beach

Searching for therapists in Manhattan Beach starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Manhattan Beach has a smaller local care market than nearby Los Angeles, so your best-fit therapist may offer in-person sessions nearby, virtual appointments, or both. Some people prefer a therapist with an office close to home or work, while others choose virtual care for more schedule options. As you narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style and what to expect in a first session.

Therapy in Manhattan Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for Manhattan Beach therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
