Molina Healthcare Therapists in San Marcos, CA
I have experience supporting diverse populations and enjoy helping clients navigate family boundaries, particularly when cultural expectations and generational differences are involved. For many individuals with immigrant family backgrounds, balancing personal goals with family values can feel complicated, and therapy can be a space to explore those dynamics and find a path that feels authentic.
My style is warm, practical, and collaborative. I aim to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward greater clarity, confidence, and balance.

If you struggle with anxiety, you might know what it's like to look like you have it all together on the outside, while inside your mind won't slow down.
