If you are finding yourself feeling lost, confused, disillusioned, discouraged, or lonely lately, you're not alone! The world might feel like a scary place and the future may feel uncertain. Your feelings are so valid! If you're needing some support, a safe place to process and unload, and a caring therapist who wants to walk with you through this, you've come to the right place! Trauma, anxiety, and depression can surface and resurface at the most inconvenient times. You aren't broken. You aren't crazy. You're human! Your body is trying to tell you something. Let's figure out what healing and thriving looks like for you!
Hey there! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in the South Bay. I earned a PhD in Clinical Psychology and a Master's in Theology from Fuller Seminary School of Psychology in 2014. I have been in private place for over a decade and specialize in faith integration, religious trauma, life transitions, grief, anxiety, ADHD, and perfectionism.
Whether you are coming into therapy for the first time & feeling nervous or whether you are looking for your 20th therapist & just want a safe landing place, I am here to support you! I work with many individuals from the LGBTQIA+ population & from a wide range of cultural & religious backgrounds, so I work hard to offer an unbiased, nonjudgmental space.

During the intake process we will discuss your goals for therapy and how I can best support you in reaching them. Using CBT interventions we work to implement strategies and coping skills to help equip you to better manage your symptoms. I also integrate psychodynamic techniques to dive into past experiences that shaped your view of self and view of the world.
