I can understand first-hand how difficult it can be to reach out for help for the first time. I believe in the importance of "practicing what you preach" and I have been the client in the room who needs extra support. I invite you to give yourself a chance, try something new, and gain a healthy perspective on how to address complicated moments in your life.
Weather you have been considering therapy, worked with therapy in the past or loved ones are suggesting reaching out-welcome to my practice. I work with individuals, couples and families in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career issues, job dissatisfaction. My specialty areas included the assessment and treatment of Perinatal and Postpartum Depression/Anxiety and Grief and Loss.
If anxiety, trauma, identity questions, or a relationship reaching its breaking point has brought you here, there's no pressure to have the right words. We'll figure it out together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working in community mental health, co-occurring substance use treatment, and residential care settings.

I draw from CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches to help clients build insight, emotional stability, and healthier coping strategies.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Hayward
Finding the right therapist in Hayward starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Therapists specialize in a range of concerns — from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship challenges and life transitions. Some focus on specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or EMDR, while others take a more integrative style. Reviewing a provider's bio can help you understand their experience and decide if their approach feels right for you.
Hayward is one of the most diverse cities in the Bay Area, and finding a provider who understands your background can make a real difference. Consider whether factors like language, cultural experience, or identity are important to you when choosing a therapist. Providers on Headway include detailed bios that go beyond credentials, so you can learn about their style and who they typically work with before reaching out.
Therapy in the Bay Area 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 an estimated session cost before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Hayward who fits both your needs and your budget.
