Therapeutic Approach

Cognitive-Behavioral, Systems, Strength-based

About

College is a time of incredible growth and change and can be both exhilarating and challenging. My goal is to support you in discovering your unique, innate strengths and values so that you feel empowered to move your life in the direction you want. I help with anxiety, depression, anger management, coping skills, couples and relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem, and trauma. I also provide gender-affirming mental health care to members of the LGBTQIA+ community. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help you gain insight, learn coping skills, and increase resilience.

I am originally from the East Coast and have spent extensive time abroad, including a summer in Mexico, two years in Portugal, and seven years in Germany. I love being outdoors, and some of my favorite pursuits include singing, hiking, camping, climbing, reading, crosswords, and spending time with my husband, son, and two cats.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Areas of Focus

Adjustment Disorder, Grief & Loss, Anxiety, Depression, Panic Attacks/Disorders, Personality Disorders, Stress, Trauma/PTSD, Adoption, Domestic Violence, End of Life Issues, Infertility, Physical or Sexual Abuse, Women’s Mental Health

Therapeutic Approach

CBT, EMDR

About

I help with anxiety, depression, adoption, grief, infertility, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, rape and sexual assault, and relationship violence. My trauma-focused approach uses cognitive behavioral, person-centered, and prolonged exposure therapies.   

I realized I wanted to work with individuals who had experienced trauma when volunteering at a grassroots rape crisis center in Guam. We provided 24-hour crisis services to individuals and the community and worked at the state level to change and improve policies and procedures. 

I love being outdoors, whether running, mountain biking, hiking, or enjoying San Diego’s beauty. Recently, I have been challenging myself to be more like my dog. My dog will walk to the backyard, flop on the ground, roll over on her back, wiggle her body back and forth, exhale a huge sigh, and then rest joyfully. She reminds me to be in the moment and to find pleasure in the simple things, although I’m not quite ready to flop on the ground.
