I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 28 years. I have worked in a Foster Care agency, as a Clinical Supervisor at a Children's Clinic in East LA and at a Drug, Alcohol, and Mental Health Facility. I also provided therapy for our military.
More that fifteen years of teaching English and drama at a Los Angeles public high school taught me many things - primarily, it taught me how often people's barriers to achievement are not due to any lack of skill or ability, but rather from emotional barriers stemming from stress, adversity and trauma. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD (including Complex-PTSD) and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) degree from the University of Massachusetts Global. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including OCD, depression, anxiety, ADHD and mood disorders.
Hello, I am a California licensed psychologist with 8 years of experience in clinical work. I was a research and development engineer for 20 years; I became interested in mental health since 2013 and it has been a humbling journey. I enjoy listen to your stories and life struggles whether it is due to mental illnesses, relationships, or changes. My diverse background equip me with the experience to better serve you. I hold a PsyD, M.A. Pastoral Ministry, and M.S. in Computer Science.
I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles and love this work. I came to therapy through an unconventional path — nearly a decade in film and photography, work as a youth counselor, and service in the military — all of which deeply shaped how I understand people and their stories.
I earned my master's degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I focused on psychodynamic and depth-oriented approaches. My thesis centered on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, a specialty I've continued developing through advanced trainings I've completed.
I work with individuals, couples, adolescents & families across a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a particular love for working with creative professionals, veterans and young adults. I'm LGBTQ+ affirmative and love working with folks from the queer community.
My practice spans traditional talk therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) — including psychedelic integration support for those processing experiences outside of our work together. I see clients in person in Atwater Village in Northeast LA, and virtually throughout California.
As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I’m trained at the graduate level in mental health care across the lifespan. I assess mental health concerns, diagnose conditions, prescribe and manage psychiatric medications, and provide psychotherapy. I also coordinate care with therapists, primary care providers, and other specialists as needed.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Stockton, CA
Finding OCD therapists in Stockton starts with knowing what to look for in a therapist’s training and approach. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, contamination fears, checking, ordering, reassurance seeking, or anxiety tied to specific obsessions. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a commonly used therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for profiles that specifically mention ERP, OCD, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, or related anxiety concerns.
Stockton has a range of mental health care options, though the number of local OCD specialized therapists may vary by availability and insurance. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you want to work with an ERP therapist near you while keeping scheduling flexible. It also helps to compare whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and lists OCD-specific experience beyond a general anxiety focus. Reading therapist bios can help you see whether they describe ERP training, session structure, and experience supporting people with obsessive thoughts and compulsions.
Therapy in Stockton can be a significant expense without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for OCD therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer direct booking. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then review bios and schedule a free consultation when you’re ready.
