Therapist

Virtual • Temecula, CA


I provide tailored tools and insights to unlock every individual's potential. I believe that we already have inside us, everything we need to accomplish anything we want to in our lives. We have the ability – in the middle of complete despair – to link ourselves with that little flame in our heart that fuels our soul and connects us with LIFE. The process can be challenging, but it is rewarding and enriching. It sets us free, makes us stronger, and gives us the power we need

Welcome. I'm a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to supporting people who are going through a tough life transition, whether it’s a diagnosis, relationship loss, other loss, or it’s you who have changed. You may be stressed, burnt out, depressed, anxious, and/or traumatized by what you are going through and carrying. You don’t have to do this alone. You can find your spark again. I have specialized training in somatic psychotherapy and evidence-based mindfulness therapies. As a person living with T1D, I love working with others in the diabetes community, and I understand the mental load and energy it takes, every single day.

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 California

Finding the right therapist in California starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or something else, it helps to find a licensed provider who has experience with your specific situation. California-licensed therapists include LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCCs, and psychologists, each with different training backgrounds and areas of focus. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their style and approach before you commit to a session.

California is one of the most expensive states for mental health care, which makes using your insurance one of the most practical ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to confirm coverage and see an estimated session cost before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit depending on their plan and location.

With providers available across Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Sacramento, and throughout the state, you can browse therapists offering both in-person and virtual sessions. Every provider listed on Headway is accepting new patients, so you can review detailed bios, check real-time availability, and book directly.
