Anthem Therapists in California

I am a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner with a strong background in emergency nursing, military service, and mental health care. My clinical experience has shaped the way I practice: calm under pressure, direct when needed, and deeply committed to helping people feel steady again. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, life stress, burnout, mood concerns, sleep issues, and medication management needs. Before becoming a psychiatric provider, I served in the U.S. Navy. I later worked as an emergency department nurse, where I learned the importance of listening well, acting decisively, and treating the whole person, and not just a diagnosis. My approach is practical, collaborative, and grounded in real life. I help patients understand their symptoms, explore treatment options, and build a plan that supports both stability and long-term growth.

I work with men, women, adolescents, and couples who are navigating relationship challenges, trauma, emotional overwhelm, or a desire for deeper self‑understanding. Many come to therapy wanting support in building resilience, improving communication, or finding clarity in moments of transition. I offer a grounded, validating space where clients can explore their experiences and reconnect with their strengths. I specialize in trauma work, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. I use CBT, mindfulness‑based therapy, EMDR, and tools from the Gottman Method and EFT to support individuals and couples. My approach is flexible and collaborative, helping clients heal, grow, and strengthen their sense of purpose. I know how hard it can be to carry things on your own or feel unsure about your next step. In our work together, you’ll have a space where you’re seen, heard, and supported as you explore what’s been weighing on you.
