Welcome! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California and a former Division I basketball player at Pepperdine University. My unique journey from the basketball court to the therapy room has profoundly shaped my approach to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life's challenges.

Having played sports my entire life, I've experienced the many highs and lows that come with being an athlete. This background gives me valuable insight into the unique challenges and triumphs athletes face. The dedication, discipline, and resilience I developed on the court have shaped every aspect of my life, and I bring these qualities into my therapeutic practice.

In my career as a therapist, I've worked in various settings, including crisis stabilization hospitals, school-based environments, and private practice. I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from children and adolescents to adults, athletes, and couples. My approach is rooted in compassion and a deep respect for each person's unique strengths and experiences. I believe that everyone has the potential for growth and healing, and I strive to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their stories and discover new paths forward.

Curiosity and observation are at the heart of my practice. I am passionate about learning from my clients and continuously expanding my understanding through reading and asking questions. I understand firsthand the values and challenges of engaging in therapy, as I am committed to doing the work myself, which enriches my empathy and effectiveness as a therapist.

I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your journey!
