Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with a private practice in San Diego. I have an undergraduate degree from the University of California at San Diego and a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from National University, from which I graduated Summa cum Laude. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families, with a specialty in childhood trauma, depression, anxiety, and behavioral challenges.​ I work with parents/caregivers and children together to create an individualized treatment plan that supports each member while healing the family as a whole.

I have experience working in education-based support services as a school-contracted counselor. There I aided families to help schools and teachers meet students' individualized academic, social, and behavioral goals. I have training and experience in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and am nationally certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am certified in Positive Discipline therapy and integrate parent/caregiver coaching into my work with children.

I believe a healthy body leads to a healthy mind, and utilize a holistic approach by incorporating mindfulness and positive lifestyle modification into treatment. I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and completed an eight week intensive certification course in Health and Wellness: Designing a Sustainable Nutrition Plan from Harvard University School of Medicine.

I served on the Board of the California Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) San Diego, and volunteer as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate with foster youth. When not with clients, I love cooking, yoga, and reading books on the couch with my best cat friend, Henry.
