Originally from Connecticut I moved to California for a new beginning. This has shaped me into a therapist who is compassionate, funny, yet challenging. I use these skills, all while linking solid professional education with personal experience in supporting people to find their inner gifts.
I have a passion for working with those who are justice impacted. I work with adults who experience anxiety, depression, Infertility, grief and loss, and interracial relationship.
I am a firm believer, both personally and professionally, in the power of healing that comes through therapy. I am here to support and to guide you to better understand yourself, your wounds and your patterns in order for you to live an authentic, full life. I work with adults and seniors, drawing on years of experience as a social worker.

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.
