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.
I have specific training in 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.
