Education:

I received my undergraduate degree from University of Denver with a major in Psychology, a minor in criminology and business administration.

My graduate degree was at California Lutheran University for Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Work:

With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, my passion lies in supporting individuals through life’s most profound transitions. I spent the cornerstone of my career with the County of Ventura, dedicating years to supporting youth and young adults navigating the foster care system. My path eventually led me to serve as Clinic Administrator, where I oversaw both clinical needs and program operations.

Since opening my private practice, I have the privilege of supporting parents and clients managing life transitions. Navigating motherhood is a monumental shift, and I am honored to help moms unpack the unique stressors of this next chapter while equipping them with practical, real-world coping tools to thrive.

Certifications:

I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidenced-based approach focusing on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact. I also have significant training in Perinatal Mental Health, Attachment Theory and Motivation Interviewing.
