I earned my MSW from Loma Linda University in 2010, and I help adults untangle the inner struggles that get in the way of feeling connected and whole. Using talk therapy approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I support clients in identifying unhelpful thought patterns, building emotional resilience, and creating room for healing and self-trust. In our work together, you can expect honest conversations, a space where you feel seen, and support that meets you where you are—without pressure or pretense.
My Clients
Even when life looks “fine” on the outside, it can feel anything but. Anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma often show up in quieter ways—overthinking everything, shutting down emotionally, or feeling stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand. You might be high-functioning, yet still weighed down by self-doubt, tension, or a sense of emotional fatigue that’s hard to shake. If you’re tired of carrying it all inside, it’s okay to want something different.
