Hello! I am a deeply compassionate and pragmatic therapist, supervisor and consultant. My collaborative approach balances processing emotions and building new coping strategies that help you make changes in your life. With 20+ years of experience, I understand awareness is not enough to make the changes we long for. We often know the ways we want to change but can’t figure out how to make those happen. I help you take that awareness into action via pragmatic and healthy strategies and solutions. I am passionate about helping folks understand themselves better and connect to a deeper understanding that connects mind and body.

I have supported hundreds of clients across a wide variety of presenting issues, contexts, and needs in both private practice and non profit settings. I work from a trauma informed lens with training in sensorimotor psychotherapy, relational gestalt, and social justice. I am able to work with a diverse population and stay steady and supportive to those seeking relief and support for their mental health struggles and needs. 

My educational background includes a Bachelors of Psychology from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN and a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine Univeristy here in California.

I love this work and could not have picked a better career. It is creative, loving, and full of surprises. Outside of work, I am married with two kids and two dogs. I love the outdoors, the Dodgers, reading/audio books, and spending time with friends and family. All of the photos on this website I have taken on hikes and adventures.
