Hey, I’m Teddie!
And I really, really love therapy.
I’ve been in the field for 10 years, and am here to serve California residents via telehealth.
I pride myself on providing a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to make the changes you would like to make. I am affirming of all sexual and gender identities and have experience working with LGBTQ+ folks and non-monogamous relationships. I identify as a queer therapist and I am very passionate about affirming and supporting LGBTQ individuals, partnerships, and families.
My ethnicity is Mexican and my racial identity is White. My family has dealt with issues around inter-racial marriage, first generation American identities, bi-racial identities, and internalized racism. Most of my experience has been working with non-White-identified people and folks from non-dominant culture. I have had the privilege of working with many clients who have made great progress working through issues around intergenerational trauma, racial trauma, systemic racism/oppression, and other forms of violence towards minority identities.
I am a person of faith, but do not identify as religious nor do I provide faith-specific therapy. I understand the power that spirituality and faith can have in our healing process and can integrate my clients' faith beliefs in therapy if and when it is helpful.
I spent years as a single mother and now co-parent my son and step-children with my partner. I love supporting women, mothers, and parents through the beautiful (and sometimes complicated!) challenges of raising children.

Client Testimonials
“After my first call with Dr. [Teddie] I knew I made the right choice. She was patient and listened to my problems. She helped me identify my goals and ways to change my perspective on problems and annoyances I faced. Strongly recommend.”
“She’s a down to earth and really beautiful individual herself and I’m sure has helped many others like me. She understand the time to listen and the time to speak. I wouldn’t go to anyone else.”
“I’ll be honest I was a little skeptical about doing therapy today online versus in person... but Dr [Teddie] is wonderful. She is kind, compassionate, understanding, flexible, professional and truly wants to help people. She has gone above and beyond and that’s rare to find. I highly highly recommend her.”
