Introduction

First off, kudos to you for taking the courageous step of seeking support—it's not always easy, but it's an essential part of growth. I consider it a privilege to walk with you through whatever challenges you're facing. Life inevitably presents us with obstacles, some we can manage on our own, and some require additional support. That’s where I come in! I am an experienced California Licensed Psychotherapist (LCSW 82862) with a master’s degree in clinical mental health from Boston College. I have a passion for helping people overcome anxiety, navigate life transitions, heal from trauma, and build more fulfilling relationships. With over 11 years of experience, including more than 16,000 hours of therapy and coaching, I’ve honed the skills to help you make meaningful, lasting changes that align with your goals. We all carry some baggage, and I'm here to help you unpack it. I tailor therapy specifically to you, integrating a variety of evidence-based approaches and action-based solutions to get you thriving as soon as possible. If you're based in California, let's connect through phone or video sessions. And if you’re in San Diego, we can take advantage of our beautiful surroundings and go for a therapeutic WALK-AND-TALK session by the beach. Walk-and-talk therapy is a unique form of therapy that infuses the benefits of being outdoors, light exercise, and psychotherapy. It also eases the potential pressure of face-to-face eye contact. Let me literally walk alongside you on your healing journey. Call, text or email me toady for your complimentary consultation. I can't wait to meet you!
