My Background

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Diego, California. I work with couples by focusing on the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) framework, as well as Individual Therapy with focus on helping individuals learn self-compassion, mindfulness, and healthy relationship with the self and others.

I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Bethel University of San Diego, and have been practicing since 2014, where I’ve worked within outpatient mental health clinics to non-profit organizations.

I primarily utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (based on Sue Johnson’s work) as my framework when working with couples. Not only is EFT the most researched, efficacious - I find it to be the most intuitive and effective in my own professional work with couples.

I am also fully EMDR trained to help individuals in areas of single incident and/or complex trauma(s), and to help individuals that feel stuck based on their past experiences to move past said memories.

I know that finding the right therapist is important, and the process at times can be daunting. To make that journey a little bit easier, please feel free to reach out to me for a free 15 minute consult. I would love to get to know you, answer any questions you might have about therapy, and what it might look like for you.
