Book a therapist or psychiatrist in San Francisco, CA covered by Cigna

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing services in Florida and California. I graduated from Pace University and have been practicing as a clinician for 24 years. The decision to seek therapy can be hard and intimidating. My goal is to provide a space for exploration, reflection and growth.

I'm a quadruple-board-certified psychiatrist -- twice in Adult Psychiatry in Canada and the States, and 2x in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry in Canada and the States. I immigrated from Canada to LA in 2019 on an O-1 visa granted for my research in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation method to treat depression. A mouthful, I know.

While I don't consider myself an "alien of extraordinary ability" (or Melania Trump, for that matter), UCLA and the USCIS did -- who knew! After years in academia on both sides of the pond, I've left the ivory tower to be the warm, irreverent (and of course professional) psychiatrist I am, fulfilling my life's mission to do the "art of medicine".

I work with people ages 13 to 85. Some of the issues I specialize in are adjustment issues, self-esteem, social pressure, issues you may be dealing with that may expected or unexpected.

Life can be challenging and difficult and I am here to help you work through those challenges you are facing in your life. You may be dealing with depression or work-related issues. I strive to make this a safe environment where you are comfortable with sharing what is really going on. I am bilingual in English/Spanish. ;

With over 12 years in the field of mental health and 6 years as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s challenges with a focus on perinatal mental health. My experience spans a range of diverse populations, and I am passionate about guiding clients through the transformative periods of pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Welcome. I'm a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with a passion for helping individuals feel supported, understood, and empowered. I bring experience from school-based and community mental health settings, where I’ve worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and cultural adjustment.

I’m a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who genuinely cares about my patients and their well-being. With ten years of experience and a strong foundation in empathy and compassion—shaped by my own life experiences—I strive to provide holistic care that nurtures both the mind and spirit. Losing my mother at a young age deeply shaped who I am and how I show up for others, allowing me to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel truly heard and understood.

Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, my goal is to support you through your unique challenges with patience and care. We'll work together to create a personalized plan for healing and growth—one that moves at a pace that feels comfortable and empowering for you. This is your journey, and I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.

I began my career in an inpatient psychiatric facility. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas in 2005. I moved to California right after graduation to provide therapy in an under served county in Northern California. In 2010 I moved back to Texas in preparation of starting my own family and to be near my aging parents. I tailor my therapeutic approach based on the needs of my clients. I believe that people are more open when they don’t feel judged.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

I believe in providing a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can process difficult experiences at your own pace.
