Hey there, I’m happy you are here!

Navigating life's challenges can feel isolating, but you don't have to do it alone. My own journey of struggles has led me to a deep appreciation for the power of a supportive therapeutic relationship. I'm passionate about providing that safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your path to healing and growth.

My motivation for becoming a therapist comes from a deep belief in the potential for healing within each person. Witnessing patients find their inner strength is the most rewarding part of my work.

I earned my bachelor’s and master’s degrees at San Diego State University- Go Aztecs! My clinical experience ranges from working in a non-profit organization, field-based community mental health, mental health outpatient program, and private practice. I’ve had the opportunity to serve and support the adoptions/foster care population, at risk youth in residential homes, and individuals/families who suffer from domestic violence, among a variety of different challenges.

My approach to therapy consists of working collaboratively with you, drawing from evidenced based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. Other therapeutic approaches I have found beneficial include, integrating faith-based perspectives, relationship-based strategies, play-based therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy with an attachment and trauma-focused lens. I’m certified as a Prepare/Enrich facilitator serving couples, whether married or premarital wanting to enhance their relationship as well.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time outdoors, time in quiet prayer, time with family, friends, my dogs, learning, reading, doing word search puzzles, and enjoying my morning coffee.

If you are seeking therapy that honors your whole person, I invite you to reach out for a consultation. Together, we can begin your path toward greater wholeness. I look forward to meeting you!
