Asking for help is hard. As a licensed psychologist in San Diego, I hope to make your process of getting help as painless as possible. I specialize in treating adults struggling with depression, anxiety, sexual concerns, substance use, grief, and PTSD.

My approach to therapy is collaborative, empowering, and evidence-based. As a provider, I am active, compassionate, genuine, and nonjudgmental. I offer a safe environment to help unburden you from difficult thoughts, painful feelings, and unhealthy patterns. As a result, you gain new coping skills, discover healthier ways of thinking, and explore new ways of living a fulfilling life.

Licensed in 2015 (PSY27892), I served as the only psychologist in several outpatient programs at Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital. I provided treatment to individuals, groups, and families/couples in the Dual Diagnosis program, Trauma program, and Veterans program. Later, I was recruited to work at Sharp McDonald Center, a residential chemical dependency treatment program. In 2018, after much deliberation I decided to pursue my dream of opening a private practice.

One of my other professional passions has been supervising and training the next generation of mental health providers. I have served as a Clinical Supervisor to master’s and doctoral-level therapists at Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital, Sharp McDonald Center, and New Vistas Crisis House.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy playing beach volleyball and taking my dog Bear to the dog park. I also like exploring the beautiful neighborhoods San Diego has to offer, one restaurant at a time.
