I believe we all have an innate ability to heal and grow - sometimes, we just need support uncovering it. I offer a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space to explore what matters most to you, understand patterns that may have once helped but no longer serve, and develop meaningful strategies for change. My integrative approach draws from CBT, ACT, and psychodynamic therapy to support adults facing anxiety, trauma, insomnia, chronic pain, and life transitions.
My background includes military service, leadership in healthcare, and training in trauma-informed yoga. I bring these diverse perspectives into therapy to help clients connect mind and body, clarify their values, and navigate challenges with strength and purpose. Together, we’ll build a path toward wellbeing that feels true to you.
I'm proud to be part of the California Psychology Center, where I work alongside psychologists who specialize in compassionate, research-supported therapy to improve the lives of our clients. I welcome adults from all backgrounds and identities, and value open, collaborative exploration to create real and lasting change.

I use cognitive behavioral therapy with some elements of short-term psychodynamic therapy, compassion focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. We'll look at what you'd like more of in your life and identify the most effective way to get it for you. Sometimes this means exploring the journey that brought you to now - sometimes it means honing what's missing - sometimes both.
