As a Psychotherapist, I am passionate about supporting my clients in finding their path, removing the things that don’t serve them, and finding the things that empower them. I am understanding, compassionate, and respectful to my clients’ individual experiences. I work with all ages and help guide my clients in building a strong foundation for a new way to experience, engage, and see life.

I bring to my practice extensive experience as a clinical trauma therapist, EMDR clinician, addiction treatment, community organization and outreach, and children and adolescents’ advocate. I received my Bachelors of Art in Psychology from California State University, San Marcos and my Masters in Social Work from University of Southern California. I am a trained EMDR therapist and use an attachment based approach.
