Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Salinas, CA

Are anxiety, stress, or frustration leaving you feeling unlike yourself? I support people who want to understand themselves and move toward the life they hope for. I welcome people of all ages and backgrounds. I offer therapy in English and Spanish. With more than 20 years of experience, I listen closely, speak honestly, and help you focus on changes that matter to you.

Hi, I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I offer a supportive and judgment-free space to help you manage anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, and mood disorders. I work with children, adolescents, and adults using evidence-based care that’s tailored to your needs. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered within the family. Let’s walk this journey together, one step at a time.

I support deep-feeling individuals in gaining self‐knowledge, confidence in their own intuition and voice, and practical tools to navigate challenges when they resurface. My work is collaborative and person‐centered; I see therapy as a process of guiding you back to yourself, rather than telling you what you should do.

​

Together, we explore how past experiences may be impacting your life today, build awareness of your nervous system, and create space for clarity around your purpose and goals.

I am LGBTQIA+ and multiculturally informed and welcome diverse communities into my practice.

Go beyond coping and create real, lasting change by transforming the patterns at the root. Less time circling the problem. More time transforming it.
