Demands and obligations from those close to us—at home, work, school, and beyond—can become overwhelming and negatively impact one’s health. Over the years, I have worked with clients facing many different issues. I have many tools in my box to assist clients in building skills to better manage the difficulties in their lives. My communication style I encourage open and honest communication, prioritizing an empathetic and nonjudgmental environment to facilitate this.

My journey to mental healthcare The universe has a way of guiding us toward what we’re meant to do in life. Mine began in my 30s when I went back to college and began my second career. I earned my Master’s in Psychology/Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman College. During my studies, I developed a deep interest in the human mind—how it works and how complex it is. During my training and early years, I worked with fascinating individuals facing a range of mild to severe challenges navigating life.
