For over 10 years, I have been in the field working with youth, families, and adults through various life challenges toward a more enriching and fulfilling life. I love facilitating the therapeutic process because I believe that everyone deserves to be acknowledged and to have their voice found and heard. In the therapeutic work, I take into account the many identities we embody and how society and culture impact our mental health. It brings me great satisfaction and humility to be in a role where my clinical knowledge, skills, and warm approach nourishes transformation from distress to confidence and contentment.

I received both my masters and doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University. Beyond that, I have earned a post-doctoral specialization in psychoanalytic psychotherapy through the San Diego Psychoanalytic Institute.

Making the decision to seek mental health therapy is not easy. I am glad that you made the first step and are here! It has been my experience that clients know themselves better than anyone, they are their own best resource when it comes to engaging in treatment. I see therapy as a joint process in which the client’s own knowledge and skills are combined to create solutions. I believe that our wellness comes not just from physical health, but from spiritual health and mental health. It's important for me to help clients make that connection in their healing journey and learn new skills that will help create healthy relationships.

We humans are wired for connection – we need it on the most basic level. But humans are the worst! And the best! Let’s just say: humans are complicated. We need each other, but we hurt each other, so we create these little ways to keep ourselves safe…but those ways might not be working anymore. That’s where I come in - I work with people who are experiencing distress within themselves and in their relationships. Therapy with me focuses on identifying and unpacking the unhelpful beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck, and then learning new ways of relating to yourself and others that make you feel ….. happy!?! It’s possible.

My psychotherapy style is characterized by empathy, rationality, and a relational focus. I emphasize the examination of feelings and thoughts by addressing stuck patterns and engaging in collaborative exploration with clients to facilitate behavioral changes. Additionally, I believe in the individual's capacity for change and trust that they possess answers within themselves. My approach is culturally sensitive, recognizing and acknowledging the cultural background of my clients. This inclusivity guides me in adopting strategies that are both sensitive and effective in meeting the unique needs of each individual.

Coming from a mixed background is incredible! But sometimes it can feel like you are not enough or you’re doing too much at the same. damn. time! No matter what you do, someone isn’t going to like it. It's as if all your different parts are kept separate and it's hard to feel like anyone can see or know the whole you. This feeling keeps you closed off from others - and yourself. You’re constantly regulating yourself and “acting right” but that shit is painful. You don’t ever feel fully free.

Hello, pull up a chair and let's chat. I approach therapy with the belief that 1) life is full of highs & lows, 2) we aren't born with all the healthy coping tools, and 3) that with compassionate support we can grow from these experiences to level up. Our brain & body are fascinating systems and I enjoy teaching people how they contribute to our actions and feelings. I have 10+ years of experience offering individual and couples (pre-marital & marriage) counseling with emphasis on communication using an eclectic empowered approach based in Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques, along with different approaches.
