I work with teens, young adults, and families navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, substance use, identity exploration, family conflict, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. Whether you're feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and move toward meaningful change.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy works best when clients feel genuinely understood, supported, and accepted for who they are. Together, we build on strengths, develop practical coping skills, and explore the patterns that may be getting in the way of living a more fulfilling life.

I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can be honest, reflective, and fully themselves without fear of judgment. My goal is not only to help clients navigate current challenges but also to foster greater resilience, self-awareness, confidence, and connection.

I know that the decision to start therapy is a huge step and that actually going through with therapy can be a cause of fear or anxiety as therapy takes time, money and ultimately effort to open up to someone who regardless of experience or training is just a stranger at first.

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 Modesto

Finding the right therapist in Modesto starts with getting clear on the type of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of concern can make a meaningful difference. Common provider types include licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and psychologists. On Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to learn about each therapist's approach, specialties, and background before you book.

Modesto is part of California's Central Valley, where in-person therapy options can be more limited than in larger metro areas like Sacramento or the Bay Area. Virtual sessions expand your choices significantly, giving you access to California-licensed providers who may be based outside Stanislaus County. If in-person care matters to you, look for providers with offices in or near Modesto, including surrounding communities like Turlock, Ceres, and Salida.

Therapy in California can be expensive without insurance. A single session may cost several hundred dollars out of pocket. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. 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. Confirming your coverage upfront helps you focus on finding the right provider rather than worrying about cost.
