I’m a licensed psychologist in California and provide therapy in both English and Spanish. Being bilingual and bicultural gives me a deep appreciation for how culture, family, and personal history shape our experiences and the ways we handle life’s challenges. I work with children, teens, adults, and older adults who may be feeling anxious, low in mood, or uncertain about themselves. In our sessions, we’ll take time to slow down, explore what’s been weighing on you, and find realistic ways to ease stress, quiet worries, and strengthen your sense of confidence and balance.

Mixed Roots therapy is a group private practice that creates healing spaces for people with complex identities and stories, leading them to often have trouble finding places to belong. We work with individuals and couples who are hurting, stressed, and overwhelmed. We suffer in a multitude of different ways from trauma, grief, depression, isolation, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, and discrimination, to name a few. It is common to feel stuck, trapped, confused, or lost in these emotional states and patterns, and this is where people usually are when they find us.

My clients believe that understanding the root of their stressors (i.e., relationships, discrimination, intergenerational patterns, anxiety, depression, trauma, finances, school, parenting) can help them function at their best. I take a holistic approach to these feelings, prioritizing self-awareness, embodiment, and living authentically. I specialize in couples work, intergenerational family work, and young adults. I am especially passionate about helping culturally diverse and neurodivergent clients navigate discrimination, find self-awareness, process intergenerational dynamics, and heal from the past.

Therapy is an invitation to return to yourself and reconnect with what brings you peace and meaning. I meet each person where they are—whether you’re beginning your healing journey or seeking to deepen your growth—and together we’ll build strategies that honor your unique strengths and values. I love to create a warm, collaborative space where healing becomes not only possible—but deeply transformative. Clients often describe me as grounding, intuitive and empowering.

I strive to be somewhat directive, engaging, and informative. I see my therapy style as being a catalyst for change, but the patient/client is doing the hard work to bring about desired changes in their life.

I believe: Perspective, courage and determination can transform one’s life. Confidence comes with self acceptance. Suffering is over rated.

You may be someone who has spent years trying to hold everything together on your own—pushing through, over-functioning, and quietly carrying more than most people realize. You might be neurodivergent and feeling overwhelmed by trauma, anxiety, mood changes, substance use, or chronic stress, and exhausted from feeling misunderstood or unsupported.

To follow my first mind is a Southern expression to explain the power and importance of listening and trusting one's intuition and gut instinct to care for and support oneself. Your first mind is knowing without conscious knowing, a higher power, the universe, you. It reminds you of your worthiness, your strength, and your connectedness. If you desire to experience life more authentically, to fortify your intuition, and to hear your first mind either for the first time or with more clarity. In that case, I welcome the opportunity to work with you.

As a relational therapist, I believe healing happens through connection. The experiences we carry from our past shape our present, often in ways we don’t intend. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their past, present, and future, make sense of relationship patterns, and gain deeper self-understanding. I am passionate about working with queer people, those in ENM or polyamorous relationships, and couples. My approach is warm, direct, and engaged—I actively participate in the therapy process, helping clients recognize the dynamics that may be keeping them stuck.

Life's most painful moments often leave us feeling disconnected—from ourselves, from others, and from the sense of safety we once knew. Whether you're struggling with trauma that won't let go, depression that weighs on every day, anxiety that keeps you on edge, or patterns of substance use that have become difficult to control, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I work with adults who are ready to understand the deeper roots of their struggles and build lasting change through meaningful therapeutic connection.

Native American Therapists
What are the advantages of seeing a Native American therapist?
Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of mental health conditions through various forms of talk therapy and behavioral interventions. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an essential part of feeling supported and understood in care. For many Native American individuals, working with a provider who shares or respects their cultural background can foster a deeper sense of trust and connection in the therapeutic process. Native American therapists may be especially well-equipped to address topics such as historical trauma, intergenerational grief, and cultural identity—factors that can significantly shape the mental health experiences of Native American clients. These providers may also be knowledgeable about and incorporate Indigenous healing traditions, which can be beneficial for clients seeking this approach. Additionally, Native American therapists may be more familiar with community resources, support networks, or other culturally-aligned providers who can offer further support.
How to find a Native American therapist?
Psychology Today’s online directory is a useful tool for finding a Native American therapist. You can filter for providers who identify as Native American or who mention working with Indigenous populations and highlight cultural competence in their profiles. Look for signs such as experience with tribal communities, familiarity with Native traditions, or a focus on trauma-informed care. Depending on your preferences and needs, it may also be important to ask whether a provider offers telehealth, which therapeutic approaches they use, and whether they accept your insurance. If you're unable to find a therapist who personally identifies as Native American, you may also consider providers who have experience working with Native clients or who demonstrate a clear commitment to cultural humility and respect for Native American beliefs and traditions. You might also consider a blended approach—for example, seeing a therapist for talk therapy while also seeing a Native healer or counselor for more culturally-specific support.
