Therapist

I have been in the healing professions throughout my adult life, initially as a Registered Nurse, working in many different specialities (NICU, pediatrics, and Clinical Trials for Hepatitis C). I’m grateful for both careers and maintain an active interest in medicine and alternative healing. I practice Christian Counseling and my goal as a therapist is to meet you where you’re at and walk with you to a healthier, stronger place. For those of different faiths, I offer counseling oriented toward growth and healing, grounded in traditional values.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, difficulty in relationships or other concerns, and are desiring a therapeutic approach aligned with a Christian worldview or traditional values, I would be honored to speak with you.

I offer compassionate, supportive care where you’ll feel heard, valued, and encouraged in your journey of growth and healing. Member of the Focus on the Family Referral Network and American Association of Christian Counselors.

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 Chula Vista

Finding the right therapist in Chula Vista starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're seeking help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, or something else, look for a licensed provider — such as an LMFT, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match before you book.

Chula Vista is home to providers trained in a range of therapy styles, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), couples counseling, and trauma-informed care. Some providers offer both in-person sessions at offices across the South Bay and virtual appointments throughout California. If flexibility matters to you, filtering by session format can help narrow your search.

Therapy in the San Diego area can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Confirming your coverage upfront means fewer surprises and a clearer path to care.
