I believe that change is possible for everyone, no matter their circumstances. Whether it is anxiety, depression, grief, relationship troubles or things that seem like no one could understand, there is hope in that struggle. Therapy can be a powerful tool to experience lasting change in whatever it is you are going through.

I try to take a unique, holistic approach by blending psychological tools with a somatic perspective. This creates a process that is more experiential in nature, which I believe is an important building block for change. When you work with your beliefs about yourself, alongside the messages your physical body is attempting to give you, you can regain the energy and meaning of things like joy, hope and peace.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Counseling with a focus in Marriage and Family Therapy from Point Loma Nazarene University. The two structured paths that I take when working with clients are Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT) with couples and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with individuals. I’m not limited to these methods but I find them to be the best place to start. Every session does not need a specific goal but it is important to have structure and purpose in the work we are trying to accomplish together. I specialize in working with relationship conflicts, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, shame and career transition.

I would love the opportunity to see if we are a good fit. Finding someone you trust is the most important part of the process of change. I hope to earn your trust and have the privilege of assisting you as you navigate this period in your life.
