My passion is walking alongside those suffering to encourage and support healing.  I believe through a therapeutic & safe relationship, you will have the ability to work through past & current struggles. Whether you find yourself having trouble in your relationships, are dealing with a substance related issue, are struggling to manage depressed or anxiety symptoms, are desiring a better connection with yourself, or are struggling with trauma, I believe I can help you, help yourself.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming & support those dealing with gender identity/expression issues; self, family, and community acceptance; & those pre, during & post transition.

I have worked with a diverse client population in the San Diego area. My background includes individual and family therapy that focuses on healing relationships through relationship, creating purpose/stability in your life, & healing from past trauma. I have training in personality disorders, mood disorders, thought disorders, identity exploration, trauma, systemic family therapy, & substance related disorders. Depending on what you are here to work on, my style/modality of treatment will shift, but I always believe that through a safe therapeutic relationship, healing begins. I am skilled at DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and will use different skill techniques to support you with managing discomfort as you dig deeper into sharing and exploring your story.
