I am trained in depth psychology and my specialties are trauma-informed care, emotional dysregulation, attachment wounds, depression and stress and anxiety as it relates to trauma. I offer skills to handle distress, grief, change and discomfort in your own body and life. I strive to treat everyone with unconditional positive regard. I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with my BS in social science and received my MA in counseling psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. I have worked in a variety of settings and enjoy working with individuals, couples and families. You are enough. You matter to me. I would love the honor of collaborating with you to unlock your full potential and bring joy, peace and contentment to your life. I strive to be authentic and transparent and I meet you where you’re at. Let’s observe, without judgment, what’s working and what’s not and work together to bring you back to your true self.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We will discuss a treatment plan and you'll share what your goals for therapy are and I will work with you to help you meet those goals. My first appointment of the day starts at noon and my last appointment starts at 6 PM.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Most recently I've worked extensively with trauma and borderline personality disorder and have found that DBT and trauma-informed skills really serve and help us all. I strive to be culturally competent and I am open to redirection and approach with humility and openness. I also enjoy working with couples, people in a transformation part of their life and people wanting to heal that attachment wound through self compassion and challenging negative core self beliefs.
