Hello there. Thanks for checking out my profile.
I don't know what brings you to this tiny nook of the internet, on this particular day, but I am grateful and very curious to hear.
As a therapist, I've worked with adolescents and adults for over a decade; sharing in their challenges, connecting in laughter and kindness.
It would be my joy to learn your story and meet you with warmth, humor, and sincerity.
I am a licensed clinical social worker, with over 10 years of experience in working with adolescents and adults with major focus on anxiety and depression. I am determined to help you find a balance in your life where you can learn to prioritize your mental health. Prioritizing yourself can be hard, so congrats for taking that first step.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working in community mental health, co-occurring substance use treatment, and residential care settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use challenges, mood disorders, relationship stress, and major life transitions.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected and supported without judgement. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I draw from CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches to help clients build insight, emotional stability, and healthier coping strategies.
I use family systems thinking to understand how relationships shape your experiences, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I'm also interested in how attachment styles influence your choices and connections. I believe in meeting you where you are and tailoring our work to what fits you best.
I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it's also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.
Hello! Thank you for considering me as a potential therapist. I have worked in social services related occupations for over thirty years. I am humbled daily and appreciate working with people wherever stage they are in their life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Salinas
Searching for therapists in Salinas starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for therapy in Salinas for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Salinas therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties match your needs. Provider bios can also show how a therapist describes their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
In a smaller city like Salinas, local office availability may be more limited than in larger California markets. Virtual sessions can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand what sessions may be like and which therapist in Salinas, CA, feels like a practical fit.
Therapy in Salinas can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care more affordable. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, see estimated costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
