Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • California


After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!

I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.

During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to beneficially serve the community and provide support to those who need it while hoping to reduce barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.

I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.

Therapist

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with experience providing bilingual (English/Spanish) therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from California State University, Fresno, my master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Capella University, and I’m currently pursuing a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. My background spans nonprofit organizations, county behavioral health, private practice, and healthcare, supporting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and other mental health concerns. I believe therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I meet you where you are and move at a pace that feels comfortable while helping you build the tools to reach your goals.

Psychologist

Hello,

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist (which means I have a doctorate and I do talk therapy, no medication assessment or prescribing) that loves working with women that are wanting to recover from disordered eating, body image challenges, or learning to travel with grief.

I work with you to find the right balance of radical acceptance, meeting you where you are at, with compassion, along with encouraging you to change and grow, where you would like to change and grow.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and accepted. My approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, and I work with each client to understand their unique experiences, strengths, and goals. I strive to create a space where you can be open and honest without judgment, while working together to better understand yourself, develop practical tools, and create meaningful change.

Before becoming a social worker, I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance. My background in dance has shaped the way I think about the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and overall well-being. I value the role that creativity, self-expression, and awareness can play in healing and personal growth. I also believe that humor, honesty, and authenticity have a place in therapy, and I want you to feel comfortable being your whole self in our work together.
