I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and completed my undergraduate training at San Diego State University. I then continued my work in research at UCSD and went on after to complete my doctoral degree in clinical psychology. I have advanced clinical training from an APA-Accredited Predoctoral Internship Program and retain specialized training experiences in the context of providing psychotherapy and assessments to first responders, active-duty members, veterans, adults, and families.
I’m not here to nod silently or drown you in clinical jargon. My approach is direct, collaborative, empathetic, understanding and deeply human—because therapy shouldn’t feel like performing or pretending. What to expect: Honest conversations – No sugarcoating, but no judgment either. We’ll name the hard stuff and work with it.
