Let's Connect (858) 330-5334

Together we will explore the root cause of your struggles and find alternative and healthier ways to cope. I operate from a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed lens, focusing on how your unique experiences, challenges, and mental well-being is impacted. Together we will build upon strengths that are inherently present as we collaborate on your path to emotional healing and wellness.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I use innovative, tailored approaches, including EMDR, ACT, IFS, CBT, Solution-Focused, and, when appropriate, Ketamine-Assisted Therapy. I work with a wide variety of high-performing clients, including athletes, veterans, executives, and other accomplished professionals navigating life’s challenges.
My approach is client centered and is rooted in compassion, trust and understanding. If you are new to therapy or have had a not so pleasant experience with therapy in the past, no problem...lets chat!
