Great to meet you!

I believe in people’s innate ability to persevere and evolve through their struggles. Everyone has an innate potential to achieve their goals if given the proper nourishment and environment. As a therapist, I strive to provide that environment.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I help patients find their path towards their own peace of mind. I foster a trusting and caring relationship with my patients, focusing on the unique and fascinating experiences that every individual brings to the table.

What you can expect from our first session

I received my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. Even prior to becoming a licensed therapist, I have worked with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families for over 5 years. I also help people who are struggling with substance abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, and schizophrenia.
