I am a dedicated mental health professional who supports children and adults through life’s challenges. I currently provide individual therapy only and do not offer couples counseling. My background in behavioral health and social services, along with hands-on community experience, has shaped my practical, compassionate, and solution-focused approach.
I have worked with individuals involved in the justice system, people living with serious mental illness, children in foster care, and families navigating behavioral or developmental concerns.

My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and client-centered. I believe everyone has resilience and the ability to grow with the right support.
My style is warm, honest, and structured. I value accountability while always leading with empathy and respect. I focus on building coping skills, improving communication, setting clear goals, and developing practical strategies that support emotional balance and independence.
My goal is to provide high quality client-centered care, utilizing a humanistic approach. I am focused on validating my client's life experiences and providing a safe and non-judgmental space to share. I also believe in holistic point of view and integrative care of body, mind, and spirit.

Thanks for reading this. I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with clients ages 6 to 86 struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, substance abuse and other issues. For some clients, I provide both therapy and medication management; for other clients, I work closely with their therapists to optimize their medication experience. I help clients to find stability and reduce suffering. LGBTQ-allied, polyamory-informed. All lifestyles welcome.
Depression and anxiety can be logical responses to difficult life events. Many adults who experienced losses and traumas in childhood have never processed these events and continue to suffer their impacts.
Therapy should help you identify the ways you hold yourself back from greater peace and success. We all pick up dysfunctional patterns along the way and need help to identify and change them. I would like to help you in this process.

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.
