I  have an empathetic and compassionate nature and truly want to  understand the struggles of my clients to facilitate self-awareness,  personal growth, and healing to help my clients live the life they are  meant to live. I look forward to working with you!

I hold a  Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage  and Family Therapy. I obtained my BA in Psychology, minor in French  Literature, and am a Certified Professional Life Coach. Having worked  for many years in the corporate world, I bring extensive experience and  relatability to career professionals, helping clients achieve their  goals to unlock their true potential. My specialty includes couples,  discernment therapy, separation and divorce, blended families,  premarital counseling, life transitions, substance use and dual  diagnosis, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and sports psychology. As a former  ballet dancer, I have a unique perspective in working with competitive  adolescent and adult athletes. Additionally, I have taught ballet in the  San Diego area for 20 years and am well-attuned to the mind-body  connection and holistic wellness.

I have worked with a variety of  populations in various settings including a residential treatment center  for severe mental illness, substance use and mental health, as well as  an outpatient treatment center for addiction and mental health recovery.  When working together, I integrate many approaches to assess and  develop an individualized treatment plan in collaboration with each  client. I utilize a blend of evidence-based practices including  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance  & Commitment Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and  Psychodynamic Therapy. I have an empathetic and compassionate nature and  truly want to understand the struggles of my clients to facilitate  self-awareness, personal growth, and healing to help my clients live the  life they are meant to live.
