There are always solutions for problems that we encounter, even the problems that we have been stuck with for quite some time. Though, there is no quick fix or one-size approach either. Therapy is a collaborative healing process to improve functioning in several areas of our life. I will guide you through these challenges and provide you with the tools along the way. Collaboration is extremely important during the process to establish comfortable space to promote growth.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families across healthcare, community mental health, child welfare, and private practice settings. My background includes working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, parenting stress, and complex family dynamics.

I believe therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and grounded in trust. My approach combines evidence-based practices with a compassionate and culturally responsive lens that honors each client’s unique experiences and strengths.

I am trained in several evidence-based modalities, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

My goal is to help clients increase insight, build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

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 Chico

Finding the right therapist in Chico starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Therapists in the area work with a range of concerns — from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship challenges and life transitions. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LMFT, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who has experience with your specific situation. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you commit.

With a mix of in-person and virtual providers available in the Chico area, you can choose the format that fits your schedule and preferences. Virtual sessions expand your options beyond the immediate area, connecting you with California-licensed providers who may not be based locally. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a specific therapy style like CBT or EMDR, availability on evenings or weekends, or a provider who speaks your language.

Therapy in California can be expensive, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
