Great to meet you!

I received my Doctorate of Clinical Psychology at California Lutheran University. While studying at CLU, I gained invaluable clinical experience in various settings. I work with all age groups and specialize in treating depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders and behavioral concerns in children and adolescents.

My approach to therapy

I take a mixed approach to therapy, providing a supportive environment for talk therapy as well as providing solution focused behavioral interventions. My clients set goals for themselves each session to track progress. When working with children, I utilize play therapy. I also provide individual, couples and family therapy.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to set regular goals throughout therapy and walk away with skills to transform their day-to-day lifestyle.
