As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I find genuine joy in helping others discover, cultivate and nurture their unique gifts and personal strengths. With over 15 years of counseling and therapy experience, I treat all ages and backgrounds, and specialize in Couples/ Family Therapy and Individual therapy, all Mood/Depressive and Anxiety Disorders, Grief and Loss, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders/ Developmental Delays, and Trauma. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from San Diego State University in 2006, and my Master of Arts Degree in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego in 2008. My practicum was completed at UCSD's Family Medicine. My therapeutic approach utilizes Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic Therapy, Jungian Theory, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Therapy, Logotherapy, and the Gottman Method. However, as each person, couple, and family are unique and complex, my overall approach is holistic and integrative.
