Therapist

Virtual • California


I'm a dedicated therapist who strives to offer clients quality care that’s centered around my professional competence, firm adherence to legal and ethical standards, and continual expansion in my knowledge of the practice. My passion for learning about the human psyche and behavior is a large part of why I chose to work in this profession.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from California State University of Long Beach. I’ve received training and supervision in therapeutic interventions including cognitive behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and dialectical behavior therapy techniques. I have experience in multiple settings including partial hospitalization programs, intensive outpatient programs, and non-profit organizations. I’ve worked with a range of populations including unhoused individuals, adults struggling with substance abuse, and clients with a range of mental health related issues such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD.

Therapist

Virtual • California


Maybe you’re newly sober, or not sure you want to be. Maybe you lost someone and the world kept moving when yours didn’t. Or maybe you’re trying to hold yourself together while everything feels like it’s falling apart. If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place. I've spent the better part of a decade working with individuals, couples, and families in the fields of addiction and grief; in both substance abuse treatment settings and solo as an Advanced Grief Recovery Specialist. I’ve also worked in hospice and I’m experienced in working with people with complex trauma and mental health challenges.

What is your approach to therapy?

I am dedicated to help individuals lead fulfilling lives. Starting therapy is a brave step and together we will uncover elusive core issues and assist in transforming blocks, leaving you free to thrive in the life you choose.

My approach integrates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and somatic practices. We will explore unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. I bring a mind-body perspective to all my work and believe that therapy is a collaborative relationship.

What can clients expect from their first session with you?

We will work to help you become your clear, loving, authentic, creative, and fearless self.

Psychologist

Virtual & in-person

5000 Birch Street, Newport Beach, CA

I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where I walk alongside you rather than ahead of you. For nearly a decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, substance use, chronic pain, and life transitions. My background in clinical psychology, along with board certification in biofeedback and neurofeedback, allows me to integrate both psychological and physiological approaches to healing. Most importantly, I deeply respect the uniqueness of your lived experience and strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered.
