My Background
I received my Masters in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego. I completed my training with one of the top 10 academic medical centers, UCSD, where I was trained to treat moderate to severe mental illness. I went on to continue there as an employee, where in addition to treating individuals, couples and families, I helped develop mental health programs such as an Active Duty Treatment Program in collaboration with Naval Medical Center and a Psycho-Educational Program to better prepare individuals and families for therapy.
I served as an educator of evidence based therapeutic practices for nurse practitioners, psychiatric residents and medical students at UCSD, as well as graduate students at USC School of Social Work, and the National Council of Mental Wellness
I have specific training in building healthy relationships, conflict management, life cycle transitions, anxiety, depression and trauma. Based on your needs-and through the lens of evidence based interventions- I provide education, guidance, support, and safety to help you find growth.

Because I believe the client/therapist relationship is the most important part of this work, I offer a free 20 minute consultation to ensure we’re a great fit.
