I believe in meeting my clients where they are and collaboratively working towards their unique treatment goals.

With a career rooted in social services, I found my true calling in returning to direct client work after earning a Master's in Social Work.

As a licensed psychologist with over 16 years of experience, I've had the privilege of working across various settings, from outpatient therapy to residential treatment facilities and community mental health organizations.

With over two decades of experience, I've dedicated myself to supporting individuals and families across Southern California, spanning various settings from community-based agencies to hospitals.

I am naturally a good listener and find it incredibly rewarding to help others navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in empathy and collaboration, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they work toward meaningful change. Together, we will explore patterns, develop coping strategies, and build on strengths to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.

With a rich background in organizational leadership, program development, and counseling supervision, I bring a wealth of experience to my practice.

Concerns around body image, eating, or exercise don’t always look obvious from the outside—but inside, they can feel like constant noise. These struggles can touch people of any body type, background, or identity, often surfacing during times of stress or transition. For many, it’s not really about food or movement—it’s about control, self-worth, or trying to feel okay in a shifting world. I earned my MA from Azusa Pacific University in 2015 and work with adults 18+ navigating body image distress, difficulty with exercise or motivation, and the emotional weight of life’s changing seasons.

My approach is collaborative with a focus on building awareness and flexibility in coping styles, with the goal of decreasing symptoms as quickly as possible.

Taking the first step toward healing and personal growth takes courage. Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to provide support, guidance, and a safe space for exploration and healing.

Navigating life transitions and relationship challenges can be daunting and often leads to feelings of uncertainty and isolation. Recognizing the importance of seeking support during these times is crucial for healing and growth. With a holistic approach to therapy, including CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy, brainspotting, and EMDR, my practice addresses the mind-body connection to promote overall well-being.

I bring authenticity and curiosity to our therapeutic relationship, valuing your expertise in your own life journey.

As a therapist, I serve as a supportive and empowering partner in my clients' life journeys, facilitating their path to healing and purpose discovery.
