My website

I started out my career as a R.N. but found my true calling in the field of psychology. I received my doctorate in counseling psychology from Boston University, PsyD degree from American Behavioral Studies Institute and CCAPP certification through Centaur University. I have spent time with Trauma Intervention of Orange County (TIP) and as a therapist in an accredited addiction treatment center. I specializes with clients experiencing losses and transitions in life.

I work at a small outpatient practice called Brain Repair Therapy Services. Each of the clinicians here has different areas of focus but my specializations are trauma, grief/loss, life transitions, and self-esteem building. I'm also a certified addiction specialist.

I'm an empathetic and non-judgmental human. Life is too short to spend it suffering and I want to help where I can. If I end up not being the best fit for you, I'll make sure I get you set up with someone who can help.
