My journey to becoming a therapist began by attending my first psychology class in college. Instantly, I felt the pull of curiosity to people, their behaviors, challenges, and joys. I earned both my Bachelors of Science in Psychology and Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy and Professional Clinical Counseling by attending Saint Mary’s College of California.

My experience has provided the opportunity to work with different populations and therapeutic challenges. While the breadth and depth of clients served is vast, I began to work more and more with clients who are mothers. A theme began to emerge: the need for support in this transformative and transitional time in women's lives when our identities are being shifted and shaped. Once I became a mom myself, this need for support while navigating a monumental life transition solidified my heart for focusing my work on therapeutically serving fellow moms.

When I am not in sessions, I can be found hanging out with my husband, daughter, and our dog Toby, reading, or attending a CrossFit WOD.
