I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with ten years of experience. I completed my Master's in Counseling Psychology at CSU Stanislaus and have worked within county mental health, non-profit organizations, school districts, and private practice. I am based in Sacramento and work exclusively via telehealth, with availability on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. My focus has centered on helping people recover from difficult or unhealthy relationships, navigate anxiety and life transitions, and understand the patterns that keep showing up in how they relate to others and themselves. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, and I try to bring both warmth and humor to the work I do.

Therapist

As a licensed therapist with experience supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges, including life stressors, work-related pressures, friendship dynamics, and finding joy in life. While I specialize in helping people navigate these areas, I believe that therapy is ultimately about understanding your unique experiences and working together to figure out what works best for you. Whether you're facing stress at work, struggling with personal relationships, or feeling disconnected from the joy in your life, my goal is to help you explore what's going on and how it's impacting you. We'll work together to identify strategies that make things feel more manageable, and most importantly, help you create a path toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to have a therapist who is truly in your corner, celebrating your wins while holding space for your most difficult chapters?

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work, I’ve spent my career navigating the complex intersections of mental health and substance use, and I’ve learned that the most powerful tool for change is an affirming, open-minded partnership.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in California

Searching for therapists in California means choosing from a wide and varied mental health care landscape. Available therapists and areas of focus can differ across urban, suburban, and rural parts of the state, so it helps to start with what you want support for. You might look for a therapist with experience in anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or major life changes. From there, review each therapist’s listed specialties, therapy style, and background to see whether their training matches what you want from care.

Location and format also shape your search. In Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and other parts of California, you may find therapists who offer in-person sessions, virtual sessions, or both. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others choose virtual appointments for schedule fit or access outside their immediate area. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. A therapist’s bio can help you understand what sessions may be like before you book.

The cost of therapy in California varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs. Headway helps you find California therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and may take your insurance. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your plan details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
