I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing evidence-based psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, couples, and families. My clinical practice focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma and post-traumatic stress, substance use concerns, relationship difficulties, and significant life transitions. I have additional training and experience serving military veterans, first responders, and their families, with particular attention to the psychological demands of service, responsibility, and prolonged exposure to adversity.

​

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in clinical science, sound judgment, and respect for the dignity of the individual. I draw upon established therapeutic methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. I emphasize self-awareness, personal responsibility, emotional regulation, and the cultivation of resilience. I believe meaningful psychological growth requires both an honest examination of one's circumstances and a deliberate commitment to change.

My academic background includes an Associate of Arts in Administration of Justice from the College of the Siskiyous, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Arizona, and a Master of Arts in Counseling Psychology, with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy, from the University of San Francisco.
