I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 25 years of experience providing compassionate, trauma-informed care across diverse clinical settings. Licensed in both California and Oregon, my career has been dedicated to supporting individuals and families navigating complex life challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, addictions, relational difficulties and serious mental illnesses. My background is uniquely broad, ranging from mental health facilities–both inpatient and outpatient–to medical social work and home health. I have extensive experience working with my own and other Tribal communities in rural Alaska, California, and Oregon, providing culturally relevant psychotherapy and advocacy.

Prior to earning my Master of Social Work in 2000, my foundational mental health experience spanned intensive inpatient, outpatient, day treatment, and residential mental health programs.

As a social worker, I understand individuals, families, tribes, and communities as both composed of, and embedded within complex systems. I work to help clients plan for and adapt to change, striving to offer a safe, supportive environment in which clients will not just experience relief, but become their best selves ready to flourish in a welcoming future.

If you have tried therapy before without the results you hoped for, you may need a more targeted, effective approach. Over the past 15 years of my practice as a clinical psychologist, earning your trust and helping you establish a secure, empowering baseline for your care has been a profound privilege. As a former instructor at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a provider at the UCLA Insomnia clinic, my goal is to provide more than just a space to talk—I offer the specialized, gold-standard steps necessary to create measurable, lasting change. At my practice, YCBT Services, I focus on working with adolescents, adults, and seniors who feel stuck despite their best efforts, specifically targeting generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, panic disorders, and chronic insomnia. By addressing the underlying triggers that keep you on high alert, I am fiercely committed to helping you move beyond surface-level coping to reclaim your peace of mind.

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 Therapist in Modesto

Searching for therapists in Modesto starts with finding someone whose training matches the support you want. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. As you compare Modesto therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with your specific needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work, what kinds of concerns they support, and whether their style seems like a fit.

In a mid-sized city like Modesto, your options may include therapists with local offices as well as California-licensed therapists who offer virtual sessions. In-person care may fit if you prefer meeting near home, work, or familiar areas of the city. Virtual therapy may fit better if your schedule, transportation, or location makes office visits harder to plan. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before you book.

Therapy in Modesto can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare therapists who take insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and see who is accepting new clients. You can browse profiles, check availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
