Currently, I provide therapy services in my Carlsbad office and at Santa Fe Christian School in Solana Beach. In my practice, I aim to help clients navigate change and stressors, find healing, develop effective coping strategies, and build meaningful relationships. I approach my clients with a balance of directness, compassion, understanding, warmth, and humor. I am particularly passionate about supporting parents in leading their children with confidence and fostering strong, healthy family units. 

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and our Labradoodle mix, Okie. Together we enjoy trying new restaurants, traveling, watching movies, being outside, and spending time with friends. We are so grateful to live in San Diego!

I provide a compassionate and nonjudgmental space that encourages you to discuss your deepest thoughts and struggles to promote optimal healing and balance. Together we focus on the areas in your life that feel unbalanced or are not working well so that you can live life with more self-awareness, clarity, creativity, curiosity, and confidence. The goal is to better manage work and school stress, improve relationships, and find relief from anxiety and depression in a therapeutic environment that is warm and supportive.

It is paramount that I build a strong rapport with my clients as therapy is a collaborative healing process. I believe in holistic healing and gaining a deeper understanding of oneself. I integrate mindfulness into my therapy practice through Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy modalities, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, Compassion-Focused, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

My services include traditional talk therapy as well as ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAT) where I provide preparation and integration session(s) pre and post to the experiential ketamine session(s). Ketamine is considered a breakthrough treatment for depression, PTSD, and some other neuropsychiatric conditions. I also offer Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), which is a form of assisted therapy which connects both sides of the brain to help process past emotional trauma. Please contact me to learn more about this treatment and feel free to ask me any questions you may have.

My specialties are working with teenagers, young adults, and military personnel who are experiencing anxiety, depression, inner conflict, low self-esteem, addiction, and/or relational issues.

Educational Background & Specialities

While working in California, Tennessee, England, and Germany, I have worked with addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, multicultural, military families, teenagers, and adults. I began my work in Nashville, TN at a recovery center on a HBCU campus. I then worked on military bases in Tennessee as well as overseas as a therapist. 

I was trained by the leading experts at Polaris Insight Center located in San Francisco to provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I earned my bachelors degree at Cal Poly in 2011 and earned my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2014 at Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN. I am a licensed therapist in both California and Tennessee.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT- CA: #122858, TN: #1266) and a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).
