I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been in practice for over ten years. I help Gen Zers and Millennials to manage the overwhelming anxiety and stress that the fast-paced world of today causes. Whether the ever-evolving world is making it difficult for you to navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, parenthood, work pressures, romantic partnerships, emotional trauma, or interpersonal relationships, I am prepared to aid in rebuilding your confidence and developing a powerful toolkit for combatting mental health blocks.

As a proud Mexican woman, it’s important to me to provide a space for marginalized groups to feel understood and validated. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and deeply passionate about supporting the queer community with compassion and empathy. I am also sex-positive and have helped many of my clients overcome barriers and concerns regarding sex and physical intimacy.

I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Master’s Degree in Marital and Family Therapy in 2016. I began seeing clients in 2014, and in the years since, I have worked in substance abuse programs, behavioral health hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and numerous group practices. Today, I enjoy managing my own practice and seeing my clients thrive as they tackle treatment goals. I am located in Los Angeles and am exclusively offering virtual therapy at this time, making it convenient for you to meet for your sessions in the comfort of your chosen space.

Therapist

Welcome! I am currently accepting client and I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ adolescents and young adults, providing affirming care through a solution‐focused and client‐centered approach. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns, supporting effective and meaningful change. I also incorporate Narrative Therapy and Trauma‐Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address trauma and promote healing when appropriate.

Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming, especially when you are navigating the challenges you are facing. Many of my clients come to therapy wanting a space where they feel safe, accepted, and truly understood. I strive to provide this so we can work collaboratively to move toward greater clarity, resilience, and well‐being.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a LGBTQIA Therapist in Modesto, CA

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Modesto starts with looking for identity-affirming care. The right therapist should have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people across concerns such as anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship stress, trauma, and family dynamics. As you compare options, look for therapists who list affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or LGBTQIA+-affirming care in their profiles. Those details can help you find a therapist whose training and listed specialties match what you want to address.

In a mid-size city like Modesto, local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may vary by availability, specialty, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still giving you access to therapists licensed in California. Some people prefer an in-person office, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or privacy. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for direct mentions of LGBTQIA+ populations, communication style, therapeutic approach, appointment availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Modesto can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand your out-of-pocket cost before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, compare bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs before you book. You can browse LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists in Modesto, review fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
