Anxiety Therapists in California

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck? Are you repeating frustrating patterns? Do you feel unsure of how to move forward? It’s normal to feel this way when facing major life transitions in a complex and often oppressive world.  Working together, I will help you slow down and pay attention to what is happening on the inside with gentleness and curiosity to find answers from your inner wisdom. By changing your relationship with yourself, you can feel more grounded, confident, and authentic. Doing so will allow you to access your most profound sense of empowerment and make clear choices to lead a more meaningful life.  When you face major life transitions, you may feel anxious, sad, isolated, frustrated, or confused. If you have a chronic or terminal illness, grief from the death of a loved one, the loss of a relationship or a job, or are exploring your gender or sexual orientation; therapy can provide support and connection as you navigate challenges and choices.  While the lens through which I view the therapy process is existential and transpersonal, my work is fundamentally trauma-informed and social justice-oriented (anti-oppressive). The most common piece of feedback I receive from clients is that they feel more empowered, confident, and grounded after working with me. I am known for providing a safe, non-judgmental space where we explore your feelings, thoughts, choices, and values with gentle curiosity to increase self-awareness and self-compassion to improve your relationship with yourself and others. Together we can sort through what you are feeling to gain insight and relief so you can live with enhanced authenticity and integrity.

I prioritize developing personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, incorporating evidence-based practices like medication management, psychotherapy, and lifestyle interventions. In addition to addressing immediate concerns, I emphasize preventive care and education. I work closely with my patients to identify triggers, build coping mechanisms, and foster resilience.

Since 2004, I have worked extensively in various inpatient acute care environments in Medical as well as Behavioral Psychiatric Inpatient Units covering Adolescents, Acute Adults, Geriatric Med-Psych, and Psychiatric Intensive Care centered on the significantly impacted, underserved population. Through the years, I have cultivated an exquisite skill set and profound philosophy centered on providing compassionate and empathetic care to a diverse pool of patients grappling with various psychiatric and dual diagnoses, and behavioral health challenges. My passion to help individuals identify the incapacitating beliefs that are hindering them back in life and resolve how to move past them has been influential in forging a path towards an increased sense of power, mastery and triumph. I welcome you.

As a Board Certified Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my journey began in the ICU, where I gained invaluable experience caring for patients with critical medical needs. However, I always knew that my true passion lay in mental health. Recognizing the profound impact mental well-being has on every aspect of life, I pursued my advanced degree in psychiatry to better serve individuals struggling with emotional and psychological challenges. I firmly believe that mental health is the cornerstone of overall well-being. Together, we can work to ensure you achieve mental and emotional balance, paving the way for a healthier, more fulfilling life. I am excited to collaborate with each of you on this journey toward mental wellness, and I am committed to supporting you in every way I can. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: As a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my mission is to provide comprehensive and individualized care that extends beyond traditional medicinal treatments. Recognizing that every individual is different, I believe in creating personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient, as a one-size-fits-all approach is insufficient for optimal mental health care. Together, we will work to "Revive Your Mind and Soul" by addressing the underlying causes of your symptoms. By integrating both traditional and alternative treatment options, we will strive to enhance your mental well-being in a holistic and balanced way. I invite you to begin this journey with me, where we focus on healing without labeling emotions or limiting our understanding of mental health.

Every client has a unique set of circumstances and issues that they carry with them. Therefore, my approach to therapy involves tailoring a unique and collaborative treatment plan that focuses on reaching your specific goals. My treatment in therapy involves proven and evidenced based approaches that have been effective in research and in real life circumstances for decades with countless individuals, couples, and families. For the past several years I have committed to partnering with non-profits, hospitals, and community mental health clinics treating individuals, couples, and families with complex issues ranging from depression, anxiety, life stage distress, traumatic experiences, and cancer related mental health issues. My efforts within these frameworks has been to focus on and address my clients’ needs from a whole person approach. This translates into thoughtfully assessing the biological, psychological, and social components and stressors of each unique individual.
