I specialize in children, teenagers, and young adults with anxiety and depression, especially with estrangement issues such as conflict with parents, divorced and/or deployed parents, as well as career planning.
I hail from San Diego, graduated from the University of Southern California, and have been practicing since 2015.
When I’m not counseling, I can be found in the gym doing jiu jitsu, lifting, or yoga, or on the mountain hiking, skiing, or snowboarding.
I have experience treating those with mild symptoms who need a sounding board to those with severe suicidal ideation and self-harm who need a comprehensive treatment plan integrated with multiple providers.
I am a Christian and can offer help from a biblical perspective if desired. My previous roles include working as a supervisor at an inpatient psychiatric hospital. I also have specialized training treating military families. I provide therapy in English and Spanish.
My patients always walk away feeling heard and empowered for taking on their life challenges.
Learn to regulate emotions in the presence of curious and compassionate others and eventually tools to self-regulate emotions so that they are honored and don't get out of control.
