About Me

Hi there! I am a faith-based Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California. I’m located in Carlsbad, but I take clients all over California. I have 10+ years experience in counseling individuals, families, and facilitating group therapy. I love supporting women in their life transitions, whether it be new relationships, or moving on from one, parenting, or empty nesting.  My experience covers a variety of issues including depression and anxiety, destructive relationships, dating, parenting problems, loneliness and isolation, grief and loss, issues of aging and older adulthood, and I have helped many people struggling with acute mental illness.

I approach each of my clients with sincere curiosity and compassion. Building a relationship of trust is important to me, and I believe it’s crucial to my clients’ progress. While I tailor my methods to the needs of each unique client, I draw from my experience and training in cognitive-behavioral, DBT and client-centered therapies. I am open to collaborating on holistic care, and support an integrated whole person approach. Additionally, I have the knowledge and experience to integrate Biblical principles and Christian values into my therapeutic approach, and I love to encourage others on their spiritual journeys.

Taking that first step toward personal growth and healing can be difficult, but it can also be life changing. I look forward to working with you!
