Hi there, I'm Heather!

I'm a licensed Marriage Family Therapist in California. I bring a grounded, tenacious approach to my clinical work and stand firmly in the belief that you are inherently resilient, and you do not have to walk this path toward healing alone.

My focus

Life can feel overwhelming — thoughts that won't quiet down, family tension, or past experiences that continue to dictate your present days. Let's walk this path toward healing, together. My goal is to provide a safe space where your unique story, your culture, and language are deeply valued.

My approach

I support individuals, couples, and families in navigating life's most challenging moments. I specialize in complex trauma, EMDR, and Family Systems therapy. Sessions are collaborative, holistic, culturally grounded, and conducted in English or Spanish. My practice is dedicated to providing restorative care that strengthens the heart and mind.
