I have lived in the Truckee Tahoe area off an on for over 30 years, I have an AA Degree in Early Child Development, a BA Degree from the University of California Santa Cruz, and I attended the University of. Nevada, Reno for my Masters in Social Work.
My husband and I have two grown children who live in Northern CA and Nevada. We are avid skiers, mountain bikers, and my hobbies include cooking, art, writing, and learning, and of course, playing with our mini golden doodle, Joaquin.
My roots are in Scranton, Pennsylvania; growing up, life was challenging and unpredictable for me and my sisters. I was the first member of our extended family who was able to put themselves through both undergraduate (BA - Latin American Studies/UCSC, and graduate school (MSW- Masters in Social Work, (UNR) and graduate with honors.
All three of my younger sisters followed in my footsteps to pursue higher education and to find success as Professionals.
My husband and I moved to the Tahoe/Truckee area together in the early 1990s, pursuing seasonal employment. We somehow made ends meet, things got a little easier each year, and he later pursued a career in resort and business management, while I pursued continuing education, mental health and licensure, and opening up my practice.
Our son and a daughter both grew up enjoyed attending local public schools in Truckee, and later the Univeristy of California; they are both living fulfilling adult lives in the nearby region.
Becoming a mother changes everything — your body, your identity, your relationships, your sense of self. But even before motherhood, life has a way of piling on. Maybe you’re a college student juggling everything at once, a working woman with too many open tabs and not enough hours, or a mom running on empty wondering when it became this hard.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Modesto
Searching for postpartum therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone whose training matches the care you want. Postpartum concerns can include more than depression, such as postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, relationship strain, pregnancy loss, or miscarriage support. As you compare therapists, look for experience in perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, reproductive mental health, or pregnancy counseling. A certification such as PMH-C can also signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
In a mid-sized city like Modesto, the right local fit may depend on both specialty and schedule. In-person postpartum counseling in Modesto, CA, may work well if you prefer an office setting, while virtual appointments can expand your options and make care easier to fit around infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also help you understand how a therapist talks about postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, prenatal care, and related concerns.
Therapy in Modesto 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who focus on postpartum and maternal mental health, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
