I am an Intuitive Life Coach; women seek me out who want to grow their Self Love, improve their self-esteem, self-worth, their relationships, own their power, and stand in their greatness. Women who know they deserve more, are under performing, who see a larger version of themselves and want to be paid what they are worth. I help you call forth your inner guidance and help you use your intuition to have more fulfillment, joy and happiness in life.

Authentic communication and connection nourishes our essence. Being in tune with our deeper self helps us stay centered, feeling sure and confident of who we are. At times our head may spin from anxiety-provoking events or situations. We can learn to cope and self-regulate by getting in touch with our self in different ways. Nourishing our essence gives us a solid sense of self-worth, helping us feel safe and secure in the universe allowing us to take ownership of our journey through life, whether dealing with addiction, depression, anxiety, or relationships we can learn to live in the solution.

Being in poly/ENM relationships can be incredibly healing. But, come to find out, healing is hard work! Sharing your loved one with other romantic interests can bring up a shit load of feelings and touch on our deepest attachment wounds. While you may be totally committed to ENM in your brain, your heart is throwing an adult sized temper tantrum and screaming at you to stop the pain. You feel stuck in a loop made of big, uncomfortable feels and unresolved conflict. You're anxious, jealous, scared, and exhausted. You want nothing more than to get out of the cycle and find the connection that brought y’all together in the first place.

Hello and Welcome. I have over a decade of practice in individual, adolescent, and couples therapy. I specialize in treating mood or anxiety difficulties, trauma, childhood trauma, relational difficulties, life stressors, or life and identity transitions. My passion is to help you live authentically- experiencing relief, resilience, self-compassion, and increased emotional freedom. We often learn strategies through life to keep us safe, but those strategies may hold us back in our present. It is in our relationships that we learned these strategies; it is through a therapeutic relationship that we re-learn, re-parent, and heal.

I've been working in the field of psychology for over 25 years. My specialties include both couple and individual therapy. In the past 20+ years, I have became established in San Diego from Los Angeles where I completed my schooling, training and early career. Starting out as a foster care social worker, I then expanded into mental health therapy for children and their family systems. The experience of treating individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression has evolved into helping couples heal from past wounds, improve communication, and create secure functioning in their relationships.

I specialize in panic attacks, panic disorders, anxiety, and depression, as well as relationship issues. Not only do I help treat these disorders, but I help clients completely be rid of them! Believe it or not, panic, anxiety, and depression don’t have to be life sentences, and you don’t just have to just learn “coping skills”. These disorders are symptoms of a root problem that can be undone in therapy! I have helped many people break free of their lifelong anxiety and depressive symptoms in just a few months.
