I am a passionate clinical therapist who loves working with children, women, couples and families going through challenging times. Are you and your your child having trouble communicating?

I have over five years of clinical experience working across a variety of settings, including county social programs, community mental health, pediatric hospital- Rady Children’s Hospital, and specialized group practices serving BIPOC communities and children, youth, and families. Currently, I work in a practice focused on supporting children and youth with ADHD and anxiety, as well as parents through parent coaching and family-based care.
I am trained in evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, PMT, TF-CBT, STAND, SPACE, and PCIT, and I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs and strengths.
I am very honest, caring, real and genuine. Encouragement and support for their future journey.
Are you are experiencing verbal and/or mental abuse from a romantic partner, a parent, sibling, friend, co-worker? Do you struggle with your own internal thoughts (e.g. "you’re not good enough”, "it's all your fault", “you are not a priority”). Maybe you’ve lost someone and you’re grieving. You are emotionally exhausted because of the pain you hide and the inability to say "no". You tell yourself the good is good but the bad is bad. You're scared and confused on what to do or how to "fix" things. These experiences create rumination, avoidance, trauma, anxiety, and more.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in La Mesa
Searching for therapists in La Mesa starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience fit your needs. Bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
La Mesa is a smaller city within the San Diego area, so local in-person options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search to therapists licensed in California, while in-person care may be a better fit if you prefer a local office near La Mesa, Grossmont, Spring Valley, or nearby parts of San Diego County. As you narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in La Mesa can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer direct booking for in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book when you’re ready.
