Life doesn't ask for permission before throwing challenges in our paths. However, I believe that with courage and support you can move forward and find joy in the journey ahead. As a Christ follower, I am passionate about my calling as a therapist to help facilitate growth, healing, and transformation from the pain we face in a broken world. I work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other life stressors that have left them feeling lost. My aim is to provide a safe, supportive space in session because the security of the therapeutic relationship is where the healing occurs.  By working together, it is my goal to help build insight into your own unique experience and help you ascend toward the fullest version of yourself.

I received my Master’s of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary in 2014.  I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I have a background working in community mental health and private practice. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and currently pursuing certification.  I am also certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT).
