I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling, with an emphasis in Child, Marriage, and Family Therapy, in 2010 and have been working in the mental health field ever since. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with individuals across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate past trauma, manage everyday stressors, and develop the tools needed to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.
My professional experience spans a variety of settings, including school-based services, residential treatment for eating disorders and crisis stabilization, mobile crisis response, outpatient care, treatment of individuals with serious mental illness (SMI), and private practice. These experiences have shaped my compassionate, individualized approach to care, grounded in meeting people where they are and supporting them in becoming the best versions of themselves.
Outside of my professional life, my wonderful husband and I have enjoyed coastal living for nearly 10 years. We share our home with our two beloved dogs, our fur babies, and continue to cherish the memories of the sweet pup we recently lost in June. As a family, we love spending time at the beach and enjoying all things Disney!
