I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also help people navigating loneliness, work-related stress, and cultural or identity-related experiences, including multiracial relationships. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.
I received my Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University and have been practicing psychotherapy in a variety of settings including foster care, public health clinics, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) clinics, group homes, HIV clinics, primary care clinics and private practice for the past 20 years.

I'm warm, pleasant, knowledgeable, professional, efficient and approachable.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a 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.
