I have a strong track record of working with parents, building relationships and connecting with youth who are reluctant or nervous about therapy. I have a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and Masters in Education and Childhood Development. I've worked as a therapist in Jr. High and High School settings and currently work in private clinic to heal family relationships. I give you the tools to be kinder to yourself and step back into your life refreshed and empowered.
I am a clinical psychologist working in San Diego, with over 20 years of experience. I earned a BA in Psychology from University of California Santa Barbara, and a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University (formerly California School of Professional Psychology). I completed a postdoctoral fellowship in substance use disorders at the San Diego Veteran's Affairs Healthcare System. I have expertise in working with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance use problems, relationship issues, and assertiveness. I also conduct psychological testing for questions around ADHD, Autism, mood disorders, giftedness, learning problems, and personality issues, among others. I believe psychotherapy is a collaborative process to help clients understand themselves better, achieve goals, and become one's best self.
I use an integrative, holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally aware approach. My style is warm, empathetic, and thoughtful, as well as active, pragmatic, and concrete. I foster a safe environment for deep reflection and for developing and implementing the necessary tools to encourage desired change.
My passion lies in working with clients who need assistance with personal empowerment and identity development. My goal is to instill hope by identifying areas of strength, resilience, and capacity for positive change. Effective therapy takes effort and commitment from both the therapist and the client.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working in community mental health, co-occurring substance use treatment, and residential care settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use challenges, mood disorders, relationship stress, and major life transitions.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected and supported without judgement. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I draw from CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches to help clients build insight, emotional stability, and healthier coping strategies.
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a PhD and 34 years of experience, offering telehealth therapy to clients in California. I'm most in my element with people who are learning their needs, what's getting in their way and feel ready to meet their challenges. My clients come from all walks of life. I help those who are too hard on themselves to become their own best friend.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Stockton
Searching for couples therapists in Stockton starts with understanding what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, and major life changes. Not all therapists have specific training in couples counseling, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches such as the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy. Reading each therapist’s profile can help you see whether their experience matches the kind of support you’re looking for.
In a mid-sized city like Stockton, the right match may depend on both clinical fit and practical details. Some people prefer in-person therapy in Stockton, while others choose virtual sessions to make scheduling easier across two calendars. When comparing options for couples counseling in Stockton, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a brief consultation to assess fit for both partners. Therapist bios can also show how they structure couples sessions and how they describe their communication style.
Couples therapy in Stockton can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, check whether your specific insurance coverage is available, see estimated session costs before booking, and review availability in one place. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
