You don't have to arrive here put together. Whatever you're carrying right now belongs in this space: anxiety, grief, relationship stress, a shifting sense of who you are, or something you haven't quite found words for yet. I work with adults and older adults navigating the full range of what life brings, with a particular passion for supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities and people who are questioning or deconstructing their faith. My work spans trauma, identity, women's issues, OCD, depression, and the anger or sadness that accumulates when you've been holding too much for too long.

If you're a woman feeling stretched thin by the relationships in your life — a partner, your family, the demands of parenting — you don't have to sort through it alone. I help women navigate relationship stress, anxiety, grief, and the harder seasons of life: losing someone you love, adjusting to a health condition, or facing a change you didn't choose. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Social Work from Azusa Pacific University, and my goal in every session is simple: you leave feeling heard, understood, and a little more capable than when you arrived.

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.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Stockton

Searching for family therapists in Stockton starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships and patterns within a family system. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication across generations, and major life changes that affect the household. Look for a therapist whose bio mentions family counseling, marriage and family therapy, or experience working with more than one family member at a time. Licensed marriage and family therapists often have specific training in relational care, which means they focus on how people interact with each other, not just one person’s concerns.

In a mid-size city like Stockton, the right fit may depend on both clinical focus and logistics. Some families prefer in-person therapy in Stockton, while others use virtual sessions to make scheduling easier across work, school, and caregiving needs. Family therapy may include the full family, parent-child sessions, couples counseling, or individual sessions with one member, so it helps to ask how the therapist structures care before booking. Review therapist profiles for availability, session format, specialties, and communication style to narrow your options with more confidence.

Counseling in Stockton, CA 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 starting care. Headway helps you find Stockton therapists who are accepting new patients, compare bios, check insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, 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.

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.
