I’m a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #152155) providing therapy for individuals, couples, children, teens and families throughout California. My work is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and connection — with the belief that healing happens in the context of safe, attuned relationships.

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) to understand how relationships shape the brain, and from Psychodynamic Therapy to explore the deeper roots of patterns, emotions, and experiences. As a parent and spouse, I deeply believe in the power of healthy attachment. As such, I incorporate Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and The Gottman Method in my work with couples and families to help partners strengthen communication, repair disconnection, and foster secure attachment.

I received my clinical training in community mental health at Valley Family Center where I worked with adults, children, teens, couples and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, trauma, family conflict, and relational stress. I also facilitated group therapy programs for children and adults, focusing on emotional skills, sexual abuse awareness and prevention, and domestic violence victims support.

I obtained my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology, graduating with a 4.0 GPA and membership into the Psi Chi honors society. In addition to clinical work, I serve as a research assistant under Dr. Melissa Huy, PhD, contributing to a study exploring burnout and resilience, which we presented at Pepperdine’s International Research Symposium in Vevey, Switzerland.

At the heart of my work is a deep respect for each client’s story. Whether you’re seeking insight, healing, or learning new ways to connect with others, I provide a supportive space to help you move toward greater understanding, balance, and fulfillment.

I look forward to connecting with you wherever you are in your life’s journey!
