About My Clients

I provide a safe space for individuals to work through life’s challenges. I help families resolve conflicts and strengthen communication. I equip parents with strategies that empower them to nurture their children’s growth. I guide teenagers in managing behavioral issues, helping them build resilience and the skills needed to thrive.

My Background and Approach

I grew up in Orange County and earned my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine. With the goal of entering the helping profession, I pursed additional training in Applied Behavioral Analysis and autism spectrum disorder. While working in special education, my passion for supporting families grew. This experience inspired me to furtherer my education at Chapman University, receiving my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. In addition to my private practice, I am a Lead Clinician at Resurface Group in Costa Mesa. Resurface Group offers a unique, life-based approach to mental health care. We specialize in addiction recovery, behavioral challenges, and family system issues.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am passionate about working with adolescents, adults, and families and providing parent coaching utilizing a solution-focused, attachment based approach to connection and healing. With over a decade of experience in fitness training, I bring a holistic, mind-body focus to growth and wellness, helping clients recognize the deep connection between physical and mental health.
