I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and life transitions! I am also experienced in supporting individuals facing relationship challenges, identity development, and difficulties with emotional regulation. As a Queer therapist, I'm passionate about working with the LGBTQ+ population. I am drawn to this work because I value the depth and resilience within each person’s story. My approach is grounded in attachment-based theory and informed by evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

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.
Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Stockton starts with knowing what kind of support you're looking for. Some providers specialize in concerns common within the LGBTQIA+ community — such as anxiety, depression, identity exploration, relationship dynamics, or family-of-origin challenges — while others offer broader mental health care in an affirming setting. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LMFT, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist) whose bio reflects experience and understanding of LGBTQIA+ concerns.
Stockton and the surrounding San Joaquin County area have a smaller pool of local providers compared to nearby cities like Sacramento. Virtual sessions can expand your options significantly, connecting you with affirming providers across California who accept your insurance. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their approach and decide whether they're a good match.
Therapy in Stockton can be expensive without coverage, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to lower costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who fits both your needs and your budget.
