I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also help people navigating loneliness, work-related stress, and cultural or identity-related experiences, including multiracial relationships. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.

I have been a Nurse Practitioner in an Emergency Department for over ten years. Due to the pandemic, our emergency room has been impacted by psychiatric patients, and I realized that there is a need for nurse practitioners like me to truly help others. Some patients wait hours or overnight in our emergency department to be evaluated. I want to bridge the gap and make a difference by providing care here in Headway.

Happy patient looking away

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 Los Angeles

Finding the right therapist in Los Angeles starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Consider whether you want support for a specific concern — such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or a life transition — or whether you're looking for more general mental health care. From there, look for a licensed provider (such as an LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, or psychologist) who has experience with your specific needs.

With thousands of therapists practicing across Los Angeles, narrowing your options can feel overwhelming. Reading a provider's bio is one of the best ways to understand their approach, specialties, and style before you commit. You may also want to consider logistics like session format (in-person or virtual), location within LA, and scheduling availability.

Therapy in Los Angeles can be expensive out of pocket, but using in-network insurance coverage is one of the most reliable ways to bring costs down. 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 — making it easier to find a therapist who is both the right fit and covered by your plan.
