For the past year, I've worked with adults facing serious mental health challenges at one of Los Angeles's largest public health systems, and what I've learned is that lasting change comes from relationships built on trust. Now I'm bringing that experience into private practice, where I can focus on what matters most: your individual progress. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD, and I offer flexible evening and weekend availability via telehealth throughout California. As a PMHNP, I'm here to support your whole mental health journey.

I am a Latinx therapist who specializes in trauma and the healing journey that follows. My approach is grounded in both professionalism and personal experience. Having done my own therapy work, I understand the courage it takes to face painful experiences, navigate life's challenges, and commit to personal growth.
I recognize that healing is not always a linear process. Growth often involves discomfort, vulnerability, and persistence. Because of this, I strive to create a compassionate, culturally responsive space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported as they work toward meaningful change.
Whether you are processing trauma, navigating life transitions, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, authenticity, and respect for your unique experiences.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely understood, supported, and accepted for who they are. Together, we build on strengths, develop practical coping skills, and explore the patterns that may be getting in the way of living a more fulfilling life.
I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can be honest, reflective, and fully themselves without fear of judgment. My goal is not only to help clients navigate current challenges but also to foster greater resilience, self-awareness, confidence, and connection.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Simi Valley
Searching for therapists in Simi Valley starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, grief, or work stress. As you compare Simi Valley therapists, look for specialties and approaches listed in each profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy, or family therapy. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from working together.
Simi Valley has local options for in-person therapy, while virtual therapy can expand your choices across California. This can be useful if you need appointment times that fit around work, school, caregiving, or commuting within Ventura County and nearby areas. When narrowing your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers the session format you prefer, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, listed specialties, and scheduling details in one place.
Therapy in Simi Valley can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists in Simi Valley, CA who match your preferences and offer virtual or in-person appointments. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can check your coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your coverage, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
