Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 26 mi away • Los Angeles, CA


It's hard to find non-judgmental therapy, especially when dealing with subjects that evoke shame. That's why I collaborate to create a therapy that meets you as you are. I hold an affirming space for marginalized orientations, neurotypes, and relationship styles. We can work to navigate major issues like trauma, sexuality and life changes, or an ongoing condition like depression or anxiety. I am also passionate about supporting people through their gender journeys. My therapy is not just inclusive, but is LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity affirming. I also enjoy working with couples or relationship groups as they navigate challenges.

Having been in therapy myself, I've experienced firsthand its positive impact, helping me overcome my anxiety and equipping me with practical tools I still use today. I understand that repeatedly answering 'How does that make you feel?' can be frustrating.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Santa Clarita

Searching for therapists in Santa Clarita starts with understanding what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, experience, and approach match what you want to work on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family-focused support.

Santa Clarita has therapists across areas like Valencia, Canyon Country, Newhall, and Saugus, along with virtual options across California. Some people prefer meeting in an office close to home or work, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling flexibility. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointments that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading each profile can help you understand how they describe their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.

Therapy in Santa Clarita 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 care begins. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Santa Clarita, review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
