I believe that every individual has the innate capacity for healing.
Hello! I am a dedicated LCSW committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. My goal is to provide a supportive, non-judgmental space where you feel heard and empowered to make meaningful changes. My clinical foundation is built on a rigorous academic path focused on understanding human behavior and holistic well-being. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from La Sierra University and later obtained my MSW from Loma Linda University.
Great to meet you! Taking the first step toward caring for your mental health can feel overwhelming, so I'm glad you're here. I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 13 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and other mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized, and I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to reach your goals.
I have been in the healing professions throughout my adult life, initially as a Registered Nurse, working in many different specialities (NICU, pediatrics, and Clinical Trials for Hepatitis C). I’m grateful for both careers and maintain an active interest in medicine and alternative healing. I practice Christian Counseling and my goal as a therapist is to meet you where you’re at and walk with you to a healthier, stronger place. For those of different faiths, I offer counseling oriented toward growth and healing, grounded in traditional values.
If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, difficulty in relationships or other concerns, and are desiring a therapeutic approach aligned with a Christian worldview or traditional values, I would be honored to speak with you.
I offer compassionate, supportive care where you’ll feel heard, valued, and encouraged in your journey of growth and healing. Member of the Focus on the Family Referral Network and American Association of Christian Counselors.
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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in San Francisco, CA
Finding postpartum therapists in San Francisco starts with looking for someone whose training fits what you want to focus on. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists also have perinatal mental health training or a perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C. Reading specialties and bios can help you see whether a therapist has experience with new parents, prenatal therapy, postpartum couples therapy, or related concerns.
San Francisco has many therapy options across neighborhoods like the Mission District, Noe Valley, the Marina, and the Castro, which can make the search feel less clear at first. For new parents, practical fit matters too: appointment times, commute or transit access, virtual availability, and whether the therapist is accepting new patients. Virtual care can make it easier to meet from home when schedules shift, infant care changes, or physical recovery affects travel. Before booking, review each profile for details on communication style, session structure, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Therapy in San Francisco can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who work with postpartum concerns and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan in San Francisco. You can enter your insurance details, compare estimated out-of-pocket costs, read bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
