I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (#134013) with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. I am also a State-Certified Sexual Assault Counselor and Advocate. In addition to my clinical work, I serve as Board President of EDRS, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting recovery and wellness for those impacted by eating disorders through support, education, and community connection.

​

I began my career working across higher levels of care - including residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) settings - supporting individuals with eating disorders and co-occurring concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and mood disorders. This work shaped my ability to hold both the complexity and resilience that clients bring into the therapy space. I have also worked as a school-based therapist, providing individualized mental health support across general education, special education, and alternative school settings.

​

I am the Co-Founder of SheHerdPower, an Equine-Guided Empowerment Program supporting survivors of sexual assault in reconnecting with their voice, self-awareness, and sense of agency through intentional partnership with horses. This work reflects my belief in healing that extends beyond traditional talk therapy and honors the mind-body connection.

​

Outside of my professional work, I’m often found reading, drinking tea, listening to live music, creating art, or spending time outdoors with my family, friends and my dog, Nixon. I value presence, creativity, and connection both in and outside of the therapy room.
