My Ph.D. is from Biola University, and I completed my clinical internship and post-doctoral training at Aurora San Diego, a psychiatric facility where I worked with civilian and active-duty military adults. That training grounded me in CBT, ACT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy, including CPT (Cognitive Processing Therapy) for trauma, with extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. I have been working with clients since 2019 and became a licensed psychologist in California in 2026.
Outside of work, I'm usually training for my next Spartan race, swing dancing, deep in a Lego build, or out exploring a trail. I'm also an avid reader and always on the hunt for a good new coffee shop.
I'm a humanistic therapist who believes in listening to my client. I have years of experience working in the psychotherapy field as well as life experience. I treat people with kindness, dignity and respect.
I look forward to talking with you about what needs to change in order for you to have the life you want & deserve. I believe most of our problems are usually short-term issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Encinitas
Searching for therapists in Encinitas starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare Encinitas therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with your specific needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they structure sessions, what concerns they often support, and whether their style feels like a good fit.
Encinitas is a smaller coastal city, so local in-person appointment options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your search across licensed therapists in California while still letting you filter for someone who fits your preferences. Consider practical factors like appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, therapeutic approach, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Encinitas can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find many therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer virtual or in-person care. You can browse therapists, review bios, check your insurance, and book directly when you’re ready.
