I’m a naturally curious, growth-oriented human who believes healing happens when insight meets action. I love helping people zoom out to see the bigger picture of their lives—while also gently zooming in on the patterns, habits, and beliefs that shape their everyday experience.

I’m drawn to the intersection of self-awareness and real-world momentum. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. We can explore the deep stuff—identity, relationships, purpose, transitions—while also building practical tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon when life is lifing.

I value emotional honesty, nervous system regulation, and sustainable growth over quick fixes. I believe you’re not broken—you’re adaptive. Together, we figure out what’s working, what’s outdated, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned, empowered, and authentically you.

Expect warmth, insight, humor when it fits, and a space where all parts of you are welcome. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical and cold—it can be connected, intentional, and even a little energizing.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Modesto

Finding the right couples therapist in Modesto starts with identifying what you and your partner want to address. Common reasons couples seek therapy include communication difficulties, conflict that feels repetitive or unresolved, trust concerns, life transitions like marriage or parenthood, and emotional distance. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LMFT, LCSW, or LPCC — who has specific experience with couples and the concerns that matter most to your relationship.

Modesto and the surrounding Stanislaus County area have a range of couples therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions. When comparing providers, consider their approach, availability, and whether they accept your insurance plan. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and what a session might look like, which can help both partners feel more confident before the first appointment.

Couples therapy in Modesto can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans. Enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available in Modesto and to see your estimated costs.
