Hi, I'm Mitch — a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Vanderbilt University. San Diego has been home since 2020, when the Navy first brought me here.

My background includes pediatrics at Children’s Hospital in St. Paul, inpatient psychiatry in Nashville and San Diego, crisis stabilization, and outpatient mental health care. I’ve worked with veterans, college students, LGBTQ+ individuals, people experiencing homelessness, and patients navigating anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma, substance use, and severe mental illness.

I primarily provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management while integrating supportive therapy, psychoeducation, and practical coping strategies into visits. My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in helping people improve day-to-day functioning and quality of life.

I look forward to getting to know you.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been in practice for over ten years. I help Gen Zers and Millennials to manage the overwhelming anxiety and stress that the fast-paced world of today causes. Whether the ever-evolving world is making it difficult for you to navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, parenthood, work pressures, romantic partnerships, emotional trauma, or interpersonal relationships, I am prepared to aid in rebuilding your confidence and developing a powerful toolkit for combatting mental health blocks.

As a proud Mexican woman, it’s important to me to provide a space for marginalized groups to feel understood and validated. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply passionate about supporting the queer community with compassion and empathy. I am also sex-positive and have helped many of my clients overcome barriers and concerns regarding sex and physical intimacy.

I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy in 2016. I began seeing clients in 2014, and in the years since, I have worked in substance abuse programs, behavioral health hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and numerous group practices. Today, I enjoy managing my own practice and seeing my clients thrive as they tackle treatment goals. I am located in Los Angeles and am exclusively offering virtual therapy at this time, making it convenient for you to meet for your sessions in the comfort of your chosen space.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fontana

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fontana starts with choosing care that feels affirming and relevant to your needs. An LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist may support people navigating identity, relationships, family dynamics, stress, anxiety, or depression. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention affirmative therapy, gender-diverse experience, WPATH training, or work with LGBTQIA+ communities. These details can help you find a therapist whose training and listed specialties align with what you want to address.

Fontana offers local therapy options, and nearby access may vary by schedule, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual sessions can expand your choices, especially when you want a therapist with LGBTQIA+ experience and availability that fits your calendar. In addition to specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers a free phone consultation, and has a communication style that matches your preferences. Reading profiles before booking can show how each therapist describes their approach, session structure, and experience with LGBTQIA+ care.

Therapy in Fontana can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fontana who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare virtual and in-person options, confirm coverage for your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.
