I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 28 years of experience in the mental health field. I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) from the Hunter School of Social Work and have lived and practiced in California for over three decades. My professional background includes extensive work with older adults, individuals experiencing homelessness, and adults living with severe and persistent mental illness. I am known for my patient, compassionate, and attentive approach, and I strive to be fully engaged and present with every client I serve. My goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized support that helps clients feel understood and empowered in their therapeutic journey.
My passion lies in working with clients who need assistance with personal empowerment and identity development. My goal is to instill hope by identifying areas of strength, resilience, and capacity for positive change. Effective therapy takes effort and commitment from both the therapist and the client.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 15 years of experience working in mental health, with a primary focus on women’s mental health. I support women navigating depression, anxiety, burnout, and life transitions, especially those who appear high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed or emotionally exhausted internally.
I believe deeply in the power of words and how they shape our mental and emotional well-being. My work is rooted in speaking life, clarity, and hope into spaces where patients may feel discouraged or stuck. I work with all adults who are seeking thoughtful, intentional, holistic care.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Long Beach, CA
Searching for ADHD therapists in Long Beach starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, planning, time management, and support for related concerns like anxiety, depression, or relationship stress. Medication management is different from therapy and is usually offered by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, and some work with both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so review each therapist’s listed specialties and bio to see whether their background matches your needs.
Long Beach offers a range of local therapists, with access that can vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment type. In-person care may be useful if you prefer an office setting, while virtual sessions can widen your options across California and make it easier to find an ADHD specialist with the right training. As you compare therapists, look at availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach to ADHD and co-occurring concerns. A bio can also help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether the therapist works with concerns that often appear alongside ADHD.
Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person options, and enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage based on your plan and location as you browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
