Therapists in Modesto, CA

I am a licensed psychotherapist with more than 15 years of experience providing therapy to teenagers, young adults, and adults with a variety of emotional and behavioral issues.

Life often presents challenges that may seem insurmountable. Challenges, such as negative feelings of depression or anxiety, chronic illnesses, school based issues, relationship and communication difficulties, can poorly influence all areas of life, leading to distress. Counseling is a process that provides a pathway allowing you and or your family to identify many choices available in positive and effective ways. Healthy relationships are vital for emotional, physical and cognitive growth. The healthier a relationship is the more likely you are able to develop and use coping skills productively and better understand your choices.

Regardless of the stage in our lives, in difficult times we all need help. Mental health counseling is a valuable service that many people benefit from by processing their thoughts, feelings and actions and ultimately finding solutions for their challenges. It is not easy to take the first step due to the stigma about seeking mental health services and/or self-doubt. If you or your loved one is needing extra help to navigate life’s challenges, seek help or resources to make life a bit easier.

With a deep commitment to guiding individuals towards self-discovery and emotional well-being, I offer a compassionate and personalized approach to therapy. As a counselor, I specialize in assisting clients in overcoming challenges such as relationship issues, new life transition, children and teens with issues related to stress, anxiety, family conflicts, academic and school related issues.
