My Approach and Background

Asking for help is hard, so I hope to make your process of getting help as painless as possible. I am a sex-positive and kink-affirming provider who specializes in treating adults living with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, sexual concerns, substance use, grief, and trauma.

My Approach

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 unhelpful patterns. Clients also gain new coping skills, discover more helpful ways of thinking, and explore new ways of living a fulfilling life.

About Me

Licensed in 2015 (PSY27892), I served as the only psychologist in several of Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital’s outpatient programs. I treated 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 addition, 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.

After pursuing my dream of opening my private practice in 2018, I am grateful for the privilege of doing the work I do with my clients. Outside of the therapy room, I love playing beach volleyball and spending time my dog, Bear. I also enjoy exploring all the beautiful neighborhoods, beaches, and restaurants that San Diego offers.

FAQ: Do you offer a sliding scale?

Yes, I offer a sliding scale that is based on financial need. A sliding scale allows for flexibility with fees and enables me to provide treatment to those who may not otherwise get the help they deserve. Feel free to ask about any current sliding scale openings during our phone consultation.

FAQ: What insurance do you accept?

For the most up-to-date list of accepted insurances, please call the office at (619) 786-8685.
Insurance is not required for treatment. Many clients choose to pay out-of-pocket for various reasons.
If you have insurance coverage under a PPO plan, I can provide you with a superbill that may help with reimbursement from your insurance company to offset treatment costs.

FAQ: How do I get reimbursed from my PPO insurance?

At your request, I can provide you with a superbill that you submit to your insurance. Your insurance will then reimburse you directly, according to your policy. If you will be relying on reimbursement, I encourage you to call your insurance company to verify your out-of-network benefits prior to your appointment.
