My primary specialty is helping individuals navigate estrangement issues, whether you're a parent whose adult child has cut off contact or a child dealing with unsafe or unavailable parents. I also work extensively with children, teenagers, and young adults facing anxiety, depression, and family conflicts, including those with divorced or deployed parents, as well as career planning. I have a broad range of experience, from supporting individuals with mild symptoms who need a sounding board to those with severe suicidal ideation and self-harm who require a comprehensive treatment plan integrated with multiple providers. As a Christian, I can incorporate a biblical perspective into our sessions if that aligns with your needs. My previous roles include working in community mental health with the homeless and supervising at an inpatient psychiatric hospital. I have specialized training in treating military families, drawing from my time in the Foreign Service as a diplomat living overseas in Morocco. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish. Originally from San Diego, I graduated from the University of Southern California and have been practicing since 2015. When I'm not counseling, you can find me at the gym weightlifting or hip-hop dancing, or enjoying the outdoors hiking, skiing, or snowboarding.
