I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist originally from San Diego, CA. I developed my passion for listening to people’s stories through my time in the US Army, where I met people from all walks of life working together for a common purpose. I approaches therapy from a whole-person perspective, understanding that mind, body, and soul heal concurrently. I believe therapy should therefore be comprehensive, exploring not just challenges, but also the unique stories, strengths, and experiences that individuals, families and those in relationships have to share. I use a strengths-based approach in helping clients heal, rewrite their stories, and ultimately make desired changes in their lives.

I completed my MA in Marital and Family Therapy at Alliant International University, followed by practicum at Apex Recovery Rehab. I also have an M.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Georgetown University and am as a dual-qualified infantry and logistics officer in the US Army National Guard.
