Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Redding, CA

I know how overwhelming it can feel to search for care that fits your life, especially in the evenings or on weekends when things finally slow down. I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I bring a steady, practical mindset from my years in high acuity inpatient psychiatric care to every session. My goal is to help you build coping tools that hold up in real life, not just in the therapy room. I offer evening and weekend appointments so care fits your schedule, not the other way around. I am a Psychiatric NP, and my sessions blend medication management with genuine conversation about what is going on in your life.

I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides therapy in both Spanish and English, from colloquial to professional levels. My work has included supporting individuals facing HIV/AIDS-related challenges, domestic violence, substance use, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, dual diagnosis, sexuality-related concerns, aging-related issues, and the broader impact these experiences can have on families and support systems. Across community, academic, and clinical settings in Mexico and the U.S., I’ve built a strong foundation in helping people navigate both personal suffering and societal distress.

My style is collaborative, client-centered, positive-energy, and solution-focused. I support my clients in developing solutions based on their goals and aspirations. My ideal client is one who is willing to "go deep," to learn about aspects of personality, behavior, and character that can contribute to developing a more profound sense of joy and fulfillment. Many of my clients are searching for meaning and purpose of in their lives. Its exciting and rewarding work. On a personal level, I am warm, caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental. I read widely and draw from the fields of neurobiology, addiction medicine and positive psychology.

I love working with couples experiencing relationship distress, communication challenges, and seeking improved emotional intimacy. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with addictions of all kinds, both substance and behavioral. I work well with individuals seeking to lower their anxiety, tackle their depression, and recover from grief and trauma.
