My Story
I’ve been a therapist for over a decade, working with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of challenges. Alongside my clinical practice, I’ve led therapy groups, facilitated staff trainings, conducted workshops, and hosted therapeutic retreats. In recent years, I’ve also served as a faculty member, teaching graduate and doctoral students in clinical psychology.
But before any of that, I was a client. In my early 20s I was really struggling with a depressed mood and low self worth. At the advice of a friend, I sought out therapy. I was in both individual and group therapy for many years, and it changed my life. In the context of the group therapy, I found myself giving feedback and insights to other group members that they found helpful. I was encouraged by the other group members and my therapist to consider becoming a therapist myself.
Fifteen years later, here I am, hoping to give you your own transformative experience.

My Commitments to You
Authenticity is my highest value. So I commit to showing up honestly and being real with you about what you tell me. If I compliment you, I mean it. If I challenge you, it’s because I think it’s in your own best interest.
I commit walking alongside you with consistency and competency for as long as we mutually agree it’s helping you on your journey.
My Life Outside Work
I like to stay active and adventurous. I’m a casual runner, train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a few times a week, and I am a massive sports fan (college hoops and European soccer most of all). I’m very close to my four siblings with whom I spend a lot of time.
The handsome guy beside me is a hybrid wolfdog named Monty. He comes to work with me everyday. He’s a certified therapy dawg through Paws’itive Teams here in San Diego, and we also do some volunteer work in the region.
I really value my spiritual, emotional, and relational development; so I’m also typically digesting some podcast, book, course, or TEDTalk that I find fascinating and can’t stop talking about.
Beyond that, I look forward to getting to know each other more in the therapy room!
