My work centers queer and transgender preteens, teens, and adults, as well as individuals with current or past foster care involvement. My clients may be feeling overwhelmed, questioning their identity, or don't know where to start with therapy. I can support you by helping you notice patterns and build trust in your own process.
One of my joys in life is making a positive difference in my client's lives. Maybe you’ve tried everything; talking to friends/family, reading self-help books, ignoring the problem hoping it will go away, or just accepting how things are and yet you are feeling unhappy and stuck. I believe there is hope for you, a life filled with love, fulfillment and fun. I've had a variety of life experiences (good, not so good) that's given me wisdom and insights about people/life. I work with couples, women/men issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD. I'll travel with you on your journey of healing/growth with understanding and compassion.
I work with families, couples, and individuals who are seeking to improve unwanted behaviors or unhealthy relationships. I provide education, techniques and support to these individuals as they work toward accomplishing their personal goals. Providing a safe, confidential place for you to discuss your specific concerns with me while forming a trusting, professional relationship is my goal for our time together.
Let me help you with anxiety, depression, grief recovery, trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, addictive/co-dependence issues, self esteem, and other serious life issues. I hold an MA Degree in marriage, family and child counseling. I conducted my LMFT practicum at Loma Linda Behavioral Medical Center.
Having been in therapy myself, I've experienced firsthand its positive impact, helping me overcome my anxiety and equipping me with practical tools I still use today. I understand that repeatedly answering 'How does that make you feel?' can be frustrating. Drawing from my personal experience both as a therapy client and practitioner in a treatment center setting, I bring energy into my sessions and build momentum to help clients get unstuck and face their Anxiety & OCD with confidence.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over eight years of experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Social Work, and I have experience working in community mental health, school settings and private practice. I am especially passionate about supporting women as they navigate personal, relational, and cultural challenges. My goal is to create a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.
It's hard to find non-judgmental therapy, especially when dealing with subjects that evoke shame. That's why I collaborate to create a therapy that meets you as you are. I hold an affirming space for marginalized orientations, neurotypes, and relationship styles. We can work to navigate major issues like trauma, sexuality and life changes, or an ongoing condition like depression or anxiety. I am also passionate about supporting people through their gender journeys. My therapy is not just inclusive, but is LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming. I also enjoy working with couples or relationship groups as they navigate challenges.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Monrovia
Searching for therapists in Monrovia starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience align with your needs. Profiles can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Monrovia, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. Consider practical factors such as appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their session format fits your schedule. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Monrovia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
