I’m a licensed therapist with an MSW from San Diego State University, and I’m here because I believe no one should have to navigate pain without support. Giving back to my community isn’t just important to me—it’s at the heart of why I do this work. I work with individuals facing anxiety, depression, and the lingering impact of trauma, using approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. But more than any method, I focus on what matters most to you. In our sessions, you can expect honesty, warmth, and someone who’s truly in your corner as you find your way forward.
My Clients
I work with clients who are carrying a lot — whether you already have coping skills and resources, or are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or in crisis. Some are navigating ongoing stress, emotional pain, or life transitions; some are managing long-standing challenges or moments that feel especially heavy. I also work with clients who are ready to be challenged — on their thinking, behaviors, or perspectives — in a supportive and honest way that helps them grow and gain clarity. Therapy is a space where you can be seen as you are, without performing or explaining yourself. From that honesty, something new can begin. Together, we create space for understanding, healing, and growth, wherever you are on your journey.
