I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with an LMFT from National University and a BASW from Cal State San Bernardino. I work with teens and adults using CBT, CPT, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to build coping strategies that are actually realistic—especially when you're running on empty. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing—it’s about finding a steadier rhythm, one step at a time. If you’re carrying more than you can hold, I’m here to help lighten the load. You don’t have to go through this alone.
My Clients
Grief has a way of shaking everything loose—your sense of safety, your routines, even your own identity. Maybe you're carrying trauma, navigating panic, or simply trying to keep going when everything feels too heavy. When life changes in ways you didn’t choose, it can feel like you're being asked to function while you're still unraveling inside. I became a therapist after losing my husband while raising our children, and I knew then that I wanted to offer others the kind of presence and care that helped me through. Especially in those moments when it all feels unmanageable, you deserve someone in your corner.
