I earned my MSW from San Diego State University in 2007, and I became a mental health clinician because understanding people’s experiences and helping them navigate difficult moments has always felt deeply meaningful to me. I work with adults 18+ facing anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges, and I believe therapy should feel like an honest conversation where your experiences and perspective guide the process. Together we’ll explore patterns in thoughts, emotions, and relationships while identifying healthier ways to respond to stress and communicate your needs, creating a collaborative experience where you can gain clarity, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward relationships and a life that feel more balanced and fulfilling.
My Clients
You might find yourself replaying conversations in your mind, questioning whether you said the right thing, or feeling emotionally drained by the effort it takes to hold everything together. Anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles can quietly shape how you see yourself and the people around you, leaving you unsure how to express what you truly need or how to feel understood. On the outside, life may appear steady, but internally you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns that are hard to change. These experiences can make it difficult to trust your instincts or feel confident in your relationships. Therapy can offer a place to slow down, reflect, and begin understanding the patterns that keep you feeling stuck so that new ways of relating—to yourself and to others—can start to take shape.
