Life's challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, or the transitions that come with different stages of life. You don't have to navigate these experiences alone. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward meaningful change from an eclectic evidenced based approach that promotes hope, stability, and wellness, including faith-based perspective.
I specialize in working with adults and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, intimate relationship conflict, and couples counseling.I believes my purpose is to assist individuals to live life healthy and with hope.
I have extensive experience with substance abuse, holding a previous Certified Alcohol Drug Certificate (CADC) in Illinois, previous certification as an Emergency Services Prescreener with mental health, certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional, trained in level 2 of the Gottman Couples Method, experienced with anxiety, depression, grief & loss, and intimate relationship conflict. I received an outstanding excellent therapy award in 2021 and am committed to lives being changed. I am inspired daily by my husband, two adult children, and in love with my five grandchildren. In my spare time I love exercising, running miles, and reading educational/spiritual literature to keep myself sharp to assist others in sharpen themselves.
I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 28 years. I have worked in a Foster Care agency, as a Clinical Supervisor at a Children's Clinic in East LA and at a Drug, Alcohol, and Mental Health Facility. I also provided therapy for our military.
More that fifteen years of teaching English and drama at a Los Angeles public high school taught me many things - primarily, it taught me how often people's barriers to achievement are not due to any lack of skill or ability, but rather from emotional barriers stemming from stress, adversity and trauma. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD (including Complex-PTSD) and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.
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.
Hello, I am a California licensed psychologist with 8 years of experience in clinical work. I was a research and development engineer for 20 years; I became interested in mental health since 2013 and it has been a humbling journey. I enjoy listen to your stories and life struggles whether it is due to mental illnesses, relationships, or changes. My diverse background equip me with the experience to better serve you. I hold a PsyD, M.A. Pastoral Ministry, and M.S. in Computer Science.
I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles and love this work. I came to therapy through an unconventional path — nearly a decade in film and photography, work as a youth counselor, and service in the military — all of which deeply shaped how I understand people and their stories.
I earned my master's degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I focused on psychodynamic and depth-oriented approaches. My thesis centered on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, a specialty I've continued developing through advanced trainings I've completed.
I work with individuals, couples, adolescents & families across a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a particular love for working with creative professionals, veterans and young adults. I'm LGBTQ+ affirmative and love working with folks from the queer community.
My practice spans traditional talk therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) — including psychedelic integration support for those processing experiences outside of our work together. I see clients in person in Atwater Village in Northeast LA, and virtually throughout California.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in San Jose
Searching for OCD therapists in San Jose starts with finding someone who has specific training in obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and related concerns like anxiety or stress. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach that some therapists use to support people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for ERP, OCD, intrusive thoughts, compulsions, or related experience in their bios.
San Jose has a range of therapy options, from in-person appointments near local neighborhoods and office hubs to virtual sessions that expand your choices across California. For OCD care, it helps to look beyond whether a therapist lists OCD as a specialty and review how they describe their training, approach, and session structure. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A therapist’s profile can help you see whether their experience matches what you want to address before you book.
Therapy in San Jose can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find OCD therapists, many of whom accept insurance, show current availability, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review therapist bios, compare options, and book directly when you’re ready.
