Life can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. As a compassionate therapist, I help individuals, families, and couples navigate anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, anger, and more. I also offer walk-and-talk therapy in San Diego, blending movement and therapeutic conversation for transformative results. Whether you’re facing daily challenges or deeper emotional hurdles, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to heal and grow. As a proud LGBTQ+ member and ally, I believe everyone deserves the chance to thrive.
I use evidence-based therapeutic methods, but with compassion and patience. What matters most is the therapeutic alliance—if you don’t feel safe with me, therapy won’t be effective. That’s why I take the time to truly understand you and what has brought you to this point in your life, ensuring we create a safe and supportive space together.
I know it can be hard to take the first step, but reaching out for help is a sign of strength. Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but therapy offers a space to discover new ways to grow and heal. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back and work toward creating the life you envision. If you’re ready, let's take that step forward together.
