I am a board certified, doctoral prepared PMHNP. I completed my post graduate at National University in Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I earned my DNP from Azusa Pacific University and graduated from CSUSB MSN program. I have been a faculty at CSUSB since 2014. Extensively trained and a certified Trauma-Informed specialist. I diagnose and treat mental disorders including medication-assisted treatment along with counseling for chemical dependency and substance use disorders.
Hello and welcome!
As a licensed clinical social worker, I truly believe that mental health is the foundation for growth and healing. It takes courage and strength to take that first step and I want to celebrate you for making it!
I mainly work with adults in individual therapy, drawing from various modalities tailored to each person's unique needs and issues. I'm also certified in EMDR, which can be really helpful for processing difficult experiences.
My hope is to help the client and families reach their goals and to provide them with a safe and non-judgmental place to do that. When working with a client, I will assist in allowing the clients to process their feelings and thoughts in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and have a strong understanding of deaf culture.
I have many years of experience working with couples, families, adults, young adults, teens, and children.
Hello! My background has been in community mental health practice—working with a broad range of life situations and issues people face. During that time, I worked with individuals, children/teens, couples, and families. I taught a values-based parenting class for several years, helping parents to strengthen their skills. Now that I have my own practice, I love working with women from all walks of life and with teens and children.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sierra Madre
Searching for therapists in Sierra Madre starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, structure sessions, and work with people who have similar concerns.
Sierra Madre is a smaller city, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in Pasadena or other parts of the San Gabriel Valley. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and whether their communication style feels like a fit from their profile.
Therapy in Sierra Madre can be a significant expense 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 search for therapists who match your preferences, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
