Great to meet you!

Greetings! As a California Licensed Psychotherapist in San Diego, I have over 15+ years' experience instilling hope, empowering, and educating patients & families about mental illness & the stigmas attached. Are you experiencing Hopelessness, Sadness, Worthlessness, Panic Attacks, Racing Thoughts, or Fear? Do you lay awake at night WORRYING about EVERYTHING? Are your worries or fears a constant cycle? Do you avoid interaction with loved ones, or maybe you don't want to be a burden to family or friends, so you begin isolating from everyone? Do you ever say, “I can’t take this anymore?” Do you feel alone in your problems? You are not alone, whether you're dealing with Anxiety, Depression, Relationship Issues, Health Crisis, Midlife Crisis, or just unsure how to move forward in life, assisting adults redefine life is my passion & purpose.

My approach to therapy

I've helped patients rediscover joy and find purpose while transitioning through critical life stages. Together we'll develop an effective treatment plan for stability & long-term coping skills. I utilize a collaborative approach to help patients recognize their strengths while developing practical coping skills. I believe in supporting each person’s right to make their own choices, embracing change, and building greater self-acceptance. Together, we’ll develop an individualized treatment plan focused on creating stability and meaningful lasting change.

What you can expect from me

During your initial session you can expect me to listen to your concerns, address your fears, remove shame and judgement, and address your needs. If we both determine that this is a good fit, we will also address a treatment plan and scheduling needs.
