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.

Whether you're navigating a difficult season or seeking personal growth, I'm here to support you with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care.
I believe that therapy works best when clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted.

I am a Liscenced Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual psychotherapy throughout the state of California. I have over 10 years experience working with individuals from various backgrounds, providing emotional support through use of psychotherapy.
I have witnessed the growth and success of many wonderful people who came to therapy feeling nearly hopeless. I know that you can reach your goals and I'd like to help you get there.
Welcome!
I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can openly explore your experiences, gain insight, and move toward the life you want to live.
With more than 20 years of experience, I have helped adults, children, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I hold both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Social Work and believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I see therapy as a partnership, where you set the direction and I provide support, guidance, and encouragement along the way.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Escondido
Searching for therapists in Escondido starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for therapy in Escondido for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or major life changes. A therapist’s listed specialties can help you understand whether their experience matches what you want to address. Their bio may also mention approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling, which can give you a clearer sense of how they work.
In a smaller city like Escondido, the number of nearby office options may be more limited than in larger parts of San Diego County. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you see a therapist licensed in California. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can also help you learn about each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.
Therapy in Escondido can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your plan and location. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
