How Can I Help You?
I am here to meet you where you are without judgement. Together, we will identify your needs and goals and figure out what tools actually work for your life. I believe in collaboration, not a one-size-fits-all approach — so whatever you’re carrying, we’ll work together toward you living your happiest and healthiest life.
I practice from a Person-Centered, Humanistic foundation, because I believe every person is unique and deserves to be met exactly where they are, without judgment. From there, I draw on Strengths-Based approaches, mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build a therapeutic experience tailored to you. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, life transitions, stress, relationship trouble, or something else entirely, I want you to feel safe, respected, and heard.
My Philosophy on Mental Health:
We can all use a safe space to process, vocalize, and express ourselves fully authentically. It is important to feel safe, heard, and have trust with the right therapist. Therapy is the support piece that can guide us to our fullest potential. I believe you have the strength and knowledge within yourself, and I am excited to help bring that to the surface.
More About Me…
Outside of therapy, I love to stay active by going to workout classes, going to the beach, or walking in the San Diego sunshine. I also enjoy reading a good book on the couch, quality time with my friends and family, and travelling to new cities.
Fun Fact!
The coolest trip I’ve ever taken was a safari in Africa!
