About Me
I received my Master of Arts in Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University, I am a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing across San Diego County since 2011. I've trained with Healing Beyond Borders in Healing Touch and Emotional Freedom Techniques with the EFT Tapping Training Institute. I have vast experience with working with adults, veterans, first responders, health care professionals, adult students, active-duty personnel, and chronic pain populations.
I specialize in the provision of holistic and evidence-based treatments for acute stress to chronic anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, grief and loss, trauma recovery to complex posttraumatic stress disorder.
My approach is direct, relational, somatic, and integrative with a trauma recovery lens. I am happy to support people in shifting through toxic stress, dysfunctional relationship patterns, deepening interpersonal connection, and becoming more authentically themselves.

Healing Touch
Healing Touch is an evidence-based, relaxing, nurturing, and heart-centered energy therapy that uses light or no touch with intention to assist in balancing your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Healing Touch assists in creating a coherent and balanced energy field, supporting one’s inherent ability to heal. It is safe for all ages and may be integrated with standard medical and behavioral health care.
Healing Touch is beneficial in calming anxiety and reducing symptoms of depression, decreasing pain, strengthening the immune system, enhancing recovery from surgery, complementing care for neck and spine problems, deepening spiritual connection, supporting cancer care, creating a sense of well-being, and easing acute and chronic conditions.

EFT Coaching
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is a self-help method that involves using the fingers to gently tap on the body's acupressure points along the meridian lines of Chinese medicine. It is often referred to as ‘Tapping’. The therapeutic effects of this technique have been recognized globally. EFT Tapping helps us tune in to the negative patterns that we form around our uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, or troubling memories. We ‘tap’ on the correct pressure points while bringing the thoughts or emotions into consciousness. The aim is to find relief, relaxation, and promote healing around the emotional or physical issues that hold us back. One can use EFT tapping for anxiety, compulsive thoughts, weight loss concerns, pain, stress and many other issues. (Adapted from EFT International)
