I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) degree from the University of Massachusetts Global. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including OCD, depression, anxiety, ADHD and mood disorders.
I specialize in supporting adolescents, adults, and families navigating trauma, systemic stress, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. With 11 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I’ve worked across diverse communities, including Black, Native American, Veteran, and criminal justice-involved populations. Clients often describe me as grounded, direct, and compassionate, and I bring deep respect for each person’s lived experience into the work we do together.
All roads lead to Rome! It doesn't matter where we jump in, if you’re ready, we’ll get there. My POV is through a Neurodiverse lens and incorporates Attachment Theory and C-PTSD with the idea that much of our conflict and distress stems from old wounds & unmet needs that can often be traced back to necessary adaptations needed to survive not only our families of origin but also societal norms and expectations. The gig of being human is hard and de-coding this blueprint can provide a path toward understanding, healing and, fulfillment. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in San Bernardino
Finding addiction therapists in San Bernardino starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, nicotine dependence, gambling, and other behavioral concerns. You may want to look for a therapist with experience in motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted treatment when a prescriber is part of your care team. Reading a therapist’s listed specialties can help you see whether their training matches what you want to address.
In a mid-sized city like San Bernardino, it helps to compare both local offices and virtual therapy options. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual appointments to broaden their search or fit care into a fixed work, school, or family schedule. Recovery is not always a straight path, so consider whether a therapist’s bio reflects a non-judgmental style, experience with substance use concerns, and an approach that feels practical for you. You can also review availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether a free phone consultation is offered before booking.
Therapy in San Bernardino can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists who are accepting new patients, compare bios, check insurance details, and see estimated costs upfront. From there, you can browse therapists, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
