I’m a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides therapy in both Spanish and English, from colloquial to professional levels. My work has included supporting individuals facing HIV/AIDS-related challenges, domestic violence, substance use, loneliness, suicidal thoughts, dual diagnosis, sexuality-related concerns, aging-related issues, and the broader impact these experiences can have on families and support systems. Across community, academic, and clinical settings in Mexico and the U.S., I’ve built a strong foundation in helping people navigate both personal suffering and societal distress.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience working with adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, and stress.
I specialize in helping people who feel stuck at a crossroads—whether due to career changes, relationship shifts, or unexpected challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy looking for clarity, better coping skills, and a way to move forward with confidence.
My approach is direct, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and strengths-based approaches. We focus on understanding patterns, building insight, and developing practical tools that create real change.
I primarily work with adults, with a focus on those navigating major life transitions and redefining what’s next.
Therapy doesn’t have to last forever. It’s a space to gain clarity, make intentional changes, and move forward at your own pace.

I’m a doctoral-prepared, board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with clients across the lifespan. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Arizona and have experience caring for individuals in outpatient, intensive outpatient, and higher-acuity mental health settings. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, OCD, mood disorders, and substance use. I take a thoughtful, practical, and individualized approach to care, with the goal of helping clients feel understood, safe, supported, and comfortable being honest when feeling emotionally vulnerable.
Always taking care of everyone else before yourself? You deserve support too. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to carry everything alone. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for busy professionals, stay at home parents, caregivers, students, and everything in between who may be feeling emotionally exhausted by the demands of daily life. I work with children, teens, young adults, parents, and families navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. Hablo Español!
I specialize in supporting people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, trauma, life transitions and much more. I have extensive experience working with high acuity teens, and I also work with adults of all ages who are navigating imbalance, self-acceptance uncertainty, or emotional overload. I support parents who need guidance in understanding their child’s needs or simply a calm place to process their own feelings. No matter your age or background, if you are struggling to find balance and peace in life, I am here to help.
My approach begins with the belief that life poses great challenges for all of us. Through these challenges, we develop adaptive patterns that may help us survive but can also bring disharmony. I aim to help you bring awareness to these patterns, loosen their grip, and reshape them so you can find greater balance and harmony in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to create a safe space where individuals feel genuinely heard, understood, and supported.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Visalia, CA
Searching for therapists in Visalia starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and therapy styles listed in each profile, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy. If you are considering marriage counseling in Visalia, CA, or couples therapy in Visalia, review whether the therapist has specific training in working with partners.
In a smaller city like Visalia, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger California markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. Consider practical fit alongside clinical focus, including appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether their session format works with your schedule. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, approach to care, and what a first session may look like before you book.
Therapy in Visalia can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see a clear estimate before your first appointment. Headway helps you search therapists and psychologists in Visalia, CA, who match your needs, take insurance, and offer in-person or virtual sessions. You can compare profiles, check availability, review estimated costs, and book directly when you are 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.
