Hello, I am happy you’re here!

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in Trauma and Perinatal mental health in San Diego and virtually all over California and Oregon. I grew up on a military base here in San Diego and have been lucky enough to continue to call this beautiful city home. I’m passionate about helping children, families, and individuals navigate life’s most challenging experiences. My work is especially focused on trauma, children and family relationships, and perinatal mental health. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, supportive space where you can be understood without judgment and develop tools that create meaningful, lasting change. Whether I’m helping a child build emotional awareness, supporting a family through challenging transitions, helping someone heal from trauma, or walking alongside a new parent through the transition into parenthood, I feel honored to be part of my clients’ journeys toward greater connection, resilience, and healing.

With years of experience in specialized therapeutic techniques, I specialize in working with individuals, children, teens, and families dealing with trauma, depression, OCD, PTSD, and perinatal/postpartum mood disorders. My treatment approach is strengths-based and person-centered and backed by nearly a decades worth of training and experience implementing evidenced based practices. My aim is to provide a safe and supportive space for you to explore your strengths, develop new skills, and improve your relationships.

I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and became certified in EMDR in 2023. I also am Internal Family Systems (IFS) Level 1 trained and have advanced training from Postpartum Support International for perinatal and postpartum mood and anxiety disorders. Additionally, I have advanced training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and certifications in AIM-HI for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. If we connect, I'm confident in my ability to guide you or your loved ones towards living a more peaceful, authentic and fulfilling life.

I am committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and affirming space for individuals of all identities within the LGBTQIA+ community. I honor and respect each person’s unique experience and strive to create an environment where everyone feels heard, validated, and supported in their journey. My practice is built on a foundation of empathy, understanding, and a dedication to empowering individuals to live authentically and with pride.
