Hello, and welcome! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. My background spans a variety of care settings, and I’m dedicated to providing compassionate, client-centered therapy as you navigate life’s challenges. I take a flexible, holistic approach to therapy, drawing on different therapeutic techniques to help you gain insight, self-awareness, and practical tools for coping.

I earned my Master's degree in Counseling, with a specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University. I have foundational training in multi-systemic and multi-cultural, family, couple and individual therapy. I practice from a strength-based, solution-focused, systems, feminist, trauma-informed and insight oriented perspective, believing therapy is an art my clients and I engage in collaboratively. I also incorporate elements of mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help my clients meet their goals. Additionally, I believe a person's sexuality, sexual expression and gender identity play a significant role in an individual's mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Therefore, I believe exploring these aspects of the self in therapy, in addition to looking at other areas of a client's life, is a vital part of comprehensive mental health. Overall, I take a holistic, integrative approach to practicing psychotherapy and am grateful to have the opportunity to help my clients become the version of themselves they wish to be. Perhaps you're feeling stressed, stuck, or anxious; maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship(s), or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. In my therapy sessions I promote self-exploration, behavioral change and assist you in looking at things from a new perspective. Whether you’re going through a stressful period in your life, experiencing anxiety and depression, are in a difficult relationship, have been grappling with the same problem for years, or are simply seeking guidance for a particular issue, I have the tools and professional experience to help you empower yourself to move forward.

My dream client is a high-functioning woman who appears to be managing it all—but inside, she’s carrying the weight of anxiety, pressure, and deep emotional overwhelm.

She may be successful on paper yet struggling to maintain boundaries, meet others’ expectations, or feel truly connected to herself. She could be facing workplace discrimination, identity shifts, or silently asking, “When is it my turn to exhale?” I work best with women who are insightful, motivated for change, and ready to explore the roots of their stress—not just cope, but understand. Using an integrative blend of CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and psychodynamic therapy, I offer a collaborative, empowering space where clients can slow down, reflect, and build tools for realignment—emotionally, mentally, and authentically.
