I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in both California and Michigan. I live in San Diego, but grew up in Michigan, where I still visit frequently throughout the year. I have extensive experience working with women struggling with eating disorders and co-occurring challenges (depression, anxiety, addiction, etc.). I also work with individuals, families, and couples in strengthening relationships and improving communication, and other mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and general life dilemmas.

My approach is client-centered, empowering clients to embrace perceived weaknesses to utilize as strengths, while providing understanding, compassion, and support. Spirituality is also the foundation of many of our lives, and I have experience working with clients from a faith-based approach, integrating Christian values to promote healing.
