About me
Welcome to my profile page! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience in private practice. I graduated from Cal State East Bay with a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology. I chose Marriage and Family Therapy and Career and Adult Development as my specialty areas of emphasis. My under graduate degree is from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
Since earning my degree, I have worked with individual adults, teens, and families. While gaining experience by working in a variety of settings, I developed a deep passion for youth. I continued to work with teens and families in the nonprofit sector and private practice settings throughout my career. I use CBT along with Solution Focus and Family Systems Therapy to help you gain insight and understanding with regard to adjustment issues, mental health, and relationship struggles.
My counseling style is direct, supportive and action oriented. I believe in humankind and a person’s ability to create a contented life even through adversity. Conflicts are inherent and can be used as stepping stones toward achieving self-awareness. Solid family relationships require a great deal of patience which can be difficult when behavioral issues dominate the environment.
When I chose to become a therapist, I didn’t just choose a career, I chose a lifestyle. I am committed to healthy choices, mentally and physically. I believe that every human being is unique and deserves to have a quality life and fulfilling interpersonal relationships. I look forward to guiding you and your family in this journey of self-discovery and healing.

Deloy is the best therapist I have had worked with in my life. I am a changed person.
I have tried teencounseling.com before and didn't feel my previous therapist was the right fit. I left and decided to come back... and I am so glad I did, because I got paired with Deloy! I am so thankful. She was warm and patient and welcoming from day one. I never felt judged once. She always listens and gives great tools with how to cope with certain situations.
My therapist is the best, she listens to me and gives me the best advices.
I’ve been working with therapists for years (I love therapy as it changed my life) and I’ve never found one like Deloy until now. I am so grateful that she is in my life! The first session she cracked open my awareness (and I’m very self aware) to new realizations about my childhood and the ways I operate bc of it that just totally blew my mind... I could forgive and love my inner child more. She’s not there to support your “woe is me” crap and say “how does that make you feel” that people say therapists do…. She holds space for you and validates your feelings yes, while also empowering you to get the heck out of victim land, focus hard back on the goals you mentioned first session, and grow strong with your universe to get the results you want. She goes that extra mile—you can tell she loves what she does. I can see her gears turning to help me brainstorm and dissect my reality bc she truly cares, more than any therapist I’ve ever worked with. She is incredible, spiritual too, and I will follow her wherever she works!!! Thank you so much Deloy.
Started therapy to help with a stressful divorce. My sessions have reduced my stress, I’m sleeping better and I’m more confident dealing with dividing property. Most important, I have a better understanding of his behavior which was confusing. Wish I would have started therapy earlier. Highly recommend scheduling an session.
She seems to be helping my daughter, but I know it takes time. She's very observant, and I appreciate her straightforwardness.
Amazing! She remembers every detail you tell her. She helps make you feel comfortable. Is always so uplifting and no matter how you feel about therapy she finds a way to make you feel proud of yourself for doing the little things. So sweet and accepting, makes you feel validated. Only had her for about two months and I already saw improvement before I had to quit therapy due to price reasons. Very safe space! Highly recommend.
Deloy is great! She’s super easy to talk to and I feel supported and accepted when talking with her. I feel like she really allows for space to think and reflect, and helps me create strategies to follow through with my goals.
