About me
I am dedicated to helping individuals use self-compassion to reduce anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I also specialize in couples counseling using Gottman Therapy.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to approach anxiety, depression, and overwhelm with compassion. I also specialize in couples counseling using Gottman Therapy. I have seen my client's depression and anxiety melt away as they learn coping skills and approach difficult emotions with compassionate curiosity. I am passionate about helping individuals extend more love to themselves and others to cultivate a calm, peaceful life. I have six years of experience working with clients seeking relief from anxiety, depression, personality disorders, and dysfunctional family patterns. I have a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. I am working under my supervisor's license and am expecting licensure in Spring 2026.
