If you're a woman feeling stretched thin by the relationships in your life — a partner, your family, the demands of parenting — you don't have to sort through it alone. I help women navigate relationship stress, anxiety, grief, and the harder seasons of life: losing someone you love, adjusting to a health condition, or facing a change you didn't choose. I hold a Master of Science in Clinical Social Work from Azusa Pacific University, and my goal in every session is simple: you leave feeling heard, understood, and a little more capable than when you arrived.

You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts to make a change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, substance use, or the lasting effects of trauma, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy focused on helping you understand the deeper roots of your struggles, develop healthier ways of coping, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself, understood without judgment, and supported as a whole person rather than defined by your symptoms or past experiences. My goal is to help you build a stronger relationship with yourself, find greater balance in your life, and create meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to stay stuck in the same cycles or figure everything out on your own. If you're ready to better understand yourself and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life, I'd be glad to help you get started.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy (emphasis in Medical Family Therapy) from Loma Linda University and a Master’s in Psychology from Chapman University.

My career has included running a large private practice, teaching at the university level, presenting at national conferences such as AFCC, and publishing research in the field of family therapy.

I work with adult men and women navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, chronic illness, and major life transitions. I understand that seeking help can feel daunting, so I strive to make therapy a safe and welcoming space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment.

My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I meet you where you are, and together, we work toward building insight, developing practical coping strategies, and creating a more balanced and meaningful life.

Many of the people I work with come to therapy knowing something isn't right but are unsure exactly what the cause of their problems is or how to get better. Relationships may keep ending the same way, friendships may feel distant, or life may feel unfulfilling despite doing everything you thought you were supposed to do. Together, we will slow down, get to the root of what is going on, and work toward a life that feels more like your own.
