Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Walnut Creek, CA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) passionate about helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I believe everyone has strengths that can be used to create meaningful and lasting change. Together, we work toward healing, growth, and improved well-being.

I’m a licensed therapist with a Master’s in Counseling with an emphasis in Child and Family Therapy, and I’m certified in Perinatal Mental Health. I work with children, adolescents, and families, and I also support moms navigating pregnancy, postpartum, and the emotional challenges of early parenthood. I have experience helping with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, and school-related concerns, and I especially enjoy working with children and pre-teens using play and creative approaches.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 25+ years experience working within the public health sector, I successfully treated individuals with mood disorders, anxiety, and psychosis. My approach is grounded in The Strengths Based Treatment Model as I believe the best way to heal is by drawing upon the inherent strengths we already possess. My years of management experience has also prepared me to address work/life balance, job-related stress and burnout.
