Professionally, I began my clinical work in the nonprofit sector, where I gained extensive experience in child development and trauma treatment while providing individual, family, and group therapy across diverse settings. After becoming a mother in 2013, I pursued advanced training in perinatal mental health and have since served as both Program Director and a longtime board member of the San Diego Postpartum Health Alliance, where I developed an online course and provided community and clinical trainings on Maternal Mental Health. In 2016, I founded San Diego Mommy and Me, an in-person, supportive, and educational group series for new moms navigating the postpartum period. I’m proud that these groups continue to serve as an “essential postpartum experience” to San Diego moms. 

Outside of therapy, I’m a wife and mother to two boys who bring a daily dose of chaos and joy into our lives. The ocean is my happy place, cheese is my obsession, and hummingbirds are my spirit animals. 

TLDR: As a mom, I know all mothers need support. As a therapist, I’m committed to helping women receive the same care and compassion they so freely give to others. I view therapy as a collaborative process in which a good working relationship/vibe between you and me is essential. I also understand that therapy is a commitment of your resources (time/money/trust), and I greatly respect and honor that. To see whether we’re a good fit, I’d love to set up a free 15-minute consultation to learn more about you and your goals and to answer any questions you may have.
