11622 El Camino Real, San Diego, CA

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges or feeling stuck-you don’t have to navigate it alone. I'm a licensed therapist with nearly 20 years of experience in the field helping individuals and couples create lasting, meaningful change.

Together, we’ll identify what brings you to therapy, we'll gently look at where you're feeling stuck and examine the patterns that are no longer serving you. Then, with evidence-based interventions we'll modify these patterns leading to lasting meaningful change.

My formal clinical training was received through the Department of Veterans Affairs, where I gained extensive experience providing evidence-based psychotherapy to military veterans and their partners. I completed specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) at the Beck Institute, founded by Dr. Aaron T. Beck and Dr. Judith S. Beck. I specialize in treating PTSD (combat and sexual trauma), Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Grief and Couples.

I believe therapy is successful when the client and therapist feel connected. I focus on building this therapeutic relationship by taking an approach that is supportive and client centered. I earned my BA in Psychology from UC Irvine and Master’s with Honors Distinction from Cal State Northridge. Additionally, I spent many years learning and practicing the teachings of ancient yoga for personal growth and to inform my practice. Over the last ten years, I have worked in various settings with clients of different age groups and backgrounds, helping them successfully navigate through their problems. I have extensive experience treating clients coping with depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustment and relationship issues; together we can make life better.
