Hello, I'm Mindy. I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 16 years of clinical experience. My path has included military service, community health work in rural Morocco, and care across many settings, from intensive care to hospice. These experiences shape how I show up: with warmth, curiosity, cultural humility, and respect for everyone's story. I treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
That means taking time to dig into your history, what has worked, what has not, and what you actually want from your care. Whether that is medication management or medication management with therapy, we figure it out together.
I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, bipolar disorder, and life transitions including loss, chronic illness, major life changes, and times when you just cannot name what is wrong yet.

About Me:
I am guided by my values of Compassion, Wisdom, Healing and Empowerment. My focus is helping people THRIVE in healthy lifestyle and wellbeing.
I practice Ayurveda, a holistic lifestyle system from India that promotes balance of mind, body, and spirit through daily habits, nutrition, and self-care.
I have had over ten years of training in a variety of somatic therapy approaches. I received my BA in Anthropology at the University of Georgia, and a MA in Counseling Psychotherapy from California Institute of Integral Studies. I've published and presented internationally on themes of embodiment, culture, ancestral memory, and gender. My research on embodiment and culture was published in in the volume Moveable Gardens: Itineraries and Sanctuaries of Remembrance in 2021.
Anxiety and perfectionism have turned your mind into a battleground. Your inner critic nitpicks every interaction, leaving you exhausted by thoughts of “Damnit, why can’t I just be better!” Painful memories get louder, no matter how hard you try to ignore them. Daily invalidations of your Latina, queer, or immigrant identity sting, and you feel isolated as you keep your suffering to yourself. You’ve tried everything: doom scrolling, drinking, and self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling hopeless and weighed down.
I'm an open minded individual and welcome any topics in treatment
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who began her career in 2016 supporting children and families through the foster care system. In2024 I shifted my focus to working primarily with adults, and I now specialize in anxiety, depression, coping skills, and the life challenges that can feel overwhelming even when you are doing your best. I believe the fact that you are looking for therapy is already a win. Life brings on challenges and different seasons, and my goal is to help you focus on the moments you can control, develop positive coping skills, and work through past patterns getting in the way of the life you want. I offer telehealth sessions throughout California.
As a Licensed Psychotherapist with over 17 years of clinical experience, I have dedicated my career to helping children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and discover their strengths. In addition to my private practice, my work in a hospital Emergency Department has provided me with valuable experience supporting individuals and families during some of their most difficult and vulnerable moments.
I feel my purpose is to help people cope with the trauma of being human in these uncertain times. I am innately in tune with the language of emotion. I have an inherent understanding of people’s communication patterns and a gentle, approachable, non-threatening presence that provides people with a safe space to express themselves.
I became a therapist because there were so many points in my life that I needed a compassionate person to hear my story, to ease the constant ache of loneliness that weighed on my heart. I want to be that for others.
During my 20+ years as an educator, I witnessed closely how early childhood experiences impact all areas of development and brain architecture. I taught kindergarten, first grade, special education (children and adults) and art during this phase of my career. I created social and emotional growth programs for children on the autism spectrum. I am currently developing an art curriculum for teachers and parents that encapsulates how I use art to help people cope with trauma, anxiety, ADHD and dyslexia, that also provides engaging and non-messy ways to experience creativity and stimulate the right brain. I am also creating an art-based workbook for those healing from trauma.
I went back to school in 2020 for my masters in Marriage and Family therapy. I am a newly licensed LMFT. This process has been profound. I have worked with people from all walks of life and learned from each person who crossed my path. I accept that this is a constant learning process which inspires me. I am not sure my curiosity can be satiated.
I am a published author, and poet at heart. Drawing soothes my soul and music and dance bring tears to my eyes. I have a dry and quirky sense of humor. I will be happy to incorporate creativity into your sessions if you are receptive.
I look forward to the opportunity to connect.

I am a first-generation Salvadoran Latina who provides therapy for individuals seeking personal growth, healing, and a deeper understanding of themselves across various stages of life.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult, and I strive to provide a space where you can explore your experiences, develop insight, and work toward meaningful change.
