My approach to therapy is rooted in a deep desire to connect with others as I help them along their healing journey. I believe that through collaboration, empathy, and compassion I can empower my clients to achieve their therapeutic goals and become the best version of themselves. I obtained my bachelor’s degree from the University of California, San Diego with a major in Communications, and an MS in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I was inspired to pursue a career as a therapist after my own transformative experience in therapy. I love working in a field where I get to deeply connect with others.
My therapeutic approach is collaborative and client-centered and focused on understanding your goals, challenges, and strengths. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT and EMDR to support concerns such as anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, trauma recovery, life transitions, relationships, grief, and loss.
Whether you’re navigating a difficult season or simply looking for support and growth, therapy can be a place to feel understood and supported. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as we work toward healing, insight, and lasting change. Reach out for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
