I help couples connect. I specialize in helping couples feeling disconnected from each other; communicate better, heal from injuries to the relationship or simply start out right in their marriages. I provide a safe structure where couples can share openly, understand why they argue and begin breaking the negative cycle they get stuck in during arguments. Finding a pathway to stay connected as a couple can change your relationship.

Do you find youself saying, "No one understands me" or "I feel alone" or "No one loves me". These are negative cognitions that have developed over time either through trauma or attachment injuries. These cognitions hold you back from being the best version of yourself. With patience and persistence, I can help you lessen these negative cognitions and experience a more fulfilling life with your loved ones. I do this by using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Couples Therapy, and EMDR.

Sometimes our best life can feel out of reach. A part of us feels stuck in cognitive or relational patterns that served us at one time, but do not serve us well anymore. We want to make some changes, but we find ourselves stuck. Poet Mary Oliver asked the question, "What will you do with this one wild and precious life?" I'm here to listen as you figure out how you want to answer this question, and to witness the work you need to do to get there. Our best selves, living our best lives, are within reach.

I’m a pre-licensed Clinical Social Worker currently working under the licensed supervision of Dr. Trevor Olson. I completed my Masters in Social Work from the University of Southern California (USC) with an emphasis in Military Social Work, and received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Welfare from the University of California, Berkeley. As a combat veteran, I have seen some of the darkest of days during my time in service (was overhead the shootdown of EN 17). My goal as a therapist is to help people navigate through their toughest moments in life and to restore hope when it seems like it no longer exists.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Whether you’re here because you are feeling disconnected from who you are, experiencing conflict in your important relationships, generally feel down and lost, or are just plainly curious about therapy, you’ve come to the right place. No matter what intersection of our identities we hold, and our unique history of lived experiences, all of us live through times where life just feels a little bit (or a lot bit) hard. Maybe you’ve lived in that difficult space for so long, it feels like your normal. Or maybe it’s really uncommon for you, that when it does happen, it feels like a shock to your system.

Therapy is an opportunity for growth and introspection. It is a way to learn how external and internal worlds intertwine to produce thoughts and behaviors that are either already conducive to a healthy, productive life—or could be improved upon. You don’t have to be in a crisis to come to therapy. Preventative care is just as important. My aim is to support you as you navigate the challenges life throws at you including fear and anxiety, interpersonal relationship discord, stresses of professional life, and unresolved conflict from childhood.

If you are dealing with persistent stress and anxiety, disordered eating or body dysmorphia, depression, low self-esteem, or relational issues, then you know what it means to struggle with your mental health. It's heavy, pervasive in its impact on your quality of life, and it can be difficult to navigate alone. Or maybe you're not alone, but the people around you don't seem to understand what it's like? I believe these experiences in my own life shaped my understanding and ability to extend empathy and compassion to others dealing with similar issues. Having someone else to walk through it with you can be so helpful!
