Hello, I’m DeAndra.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by stress, stuck in your relationships, navigating identity shifts, or wrestling with anxiety about the future—you’re not alone. Life’s transitions can be disorienting, even when they seem “normal” on the outside. Whether you’re stepping into a new role (like becoming a parent or professional), redefining your sense of self, or simply trying to manage the demands of everyday life, therapy can be a powerful space to reconnect with clarity, calm, and confidence.
In our work together, I offer a supportive space to explore your inner world, unpack the narratives that shape your life, and develop tools that feel true to you. I believe in the healing power of storytelling, deep reflection, and intentional action. Together, we’ll examine the patterns, beliefs, and lived experiences that have shaped you—and make room for new ways of thinking, relating, and thriving.

"Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." — Arthur Ashe
Hello there! I am first a mom, a sister, an aunt, a grandmother, and a neighbor and friend. In my life, I have naturally been inclined to help others. Realizing this, I decided to embark on a journey to become a professional helper of other humans, to help improve their life and feel better about their choices. Along this journey, I have become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I obtained my MA from Pacific Oaks College in 2013 and my Psy. D. Marital and Family Therapy from The Chicago School in 2021. I then started working in counseling and after completing my continued education for counseling studies with an emphasis on alcohol/drugs abuse studies at UCLA in 2020. I support and promote clients to explore their potential and utilize strengths to manage challenges in life. As your therapist, I strive to be authentic and nurturing and come from this understanding, as my true self, and as a South-American therapist. My years of experience and navigating through life while learning the art of therapy and counseling helped me to develop a strong patient-centered approach to join patients where they are at. Feedback I have heard from clients is that my experience working with different cultural backgrounds helps clients feel safe and they report that I have a more inclusive therapeutic relationship with them than other therapists.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help clients to overcome the obstacles that get in the way of living a meaningful and purposeful life. I believe mental health and wellness is a lifestyle of putting yourself first mentally, emotionally, and physically.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I have a Masters in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Chapman University.
My primary focus includes depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, caregiver stress, relationship issues, and stress management.
It is important for my clients to be comfortable, agreeable and involved throughout the treatment process. Treatment plans are individualized to meet your needs because one size does not fit all. I use a person centered strengths based approach using Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).
I look forward to partnering with you on your healing journey.
