I am passionate about empowering children of all ages to make more thoughtful, informed choices in their life. I work with clients navigating grief/loss, anxiety, depression, anger, family changes, cultural and ethnic identity, medical traumas, and other challenges. Through therapy, children are provided with a nonjudgmental, safe space to process their experiences and develop skills and the opportunity to strengthen their psychological fortitude, self identity, and resilience through therapeutic interventions. All of this helps them to more effectively communicate their needs to supportive adults around them.

I am an integrative psychotherapist based in North County San Diego. I love working with adults looking for a mind-body-spirit approach, and who want to make lifestyle changes that support their progress in therapy. Issues I frequently work with are depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship & family stress, substance abuse, and spirituality. I often work with people who have tried traditional approaches like talk therapy and medications, but have failed to experience the results they were looking for. Often we uncover that they were trying to solve the wrong problems with the wrong solutions.

I help immigrant adults with their relationships with family and intergenerational trauma.
Often, our feelings like disappointment, shame, anger, grief, or fear need a space to be seen and heard. We sometimes want to pause and look at where we are in our lives and relationships. As we revisit the childhood wound, the barriers to adulthood thriving become clear. Many times, we see things that we cannot control like gender norms, ideal body standards, or identity-based stereotypes, are deeply rooted in our inner and outer world. All of these are things we can explore, process, and discuss in our session.
