College and young adulthood can bring more change at once than any other time of life: new independence, shifting relationships, academic pressure, and big questions about who you are and where you're headed. If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in people-pleasing, or carrying experiences that still feel unresolved, you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist working with college students and adults in California and Florida by secure video. I specialise in trauma, anxiety, relationships and life transitions, including preparing to study abroad and readjusting after coming home. Having studied, lived and worked abroad myself, I know how exciting and disorienting these transitions can be. My approach is warm, collaborative and trauma-focused. I use EMDR to help process painful or stuck experiences, and somatic, body-based tools to calm your nervous system so you feel more grounded day to day. Together we'll explore the family and relationship patterns shaping how you feel, and build practical skills for boundaries, self-worth and emotional balance. Therapy with me is a compassionate, judgement-free space where you can slow down and reconnect with yourself. I offer a free 15-minute Zoom consultation to see whether we're a good fit. Book through my website or send me an email.

College can be a lot. Between classes, work, relationships, family expectations, finances, and trying to figure out what you want to do with your life, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or stuck. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself without feeling judged. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self-confidence, past trauma, academic stress, or major life changes, I’m here to help you work through it. Together, we’ll focus on practical tools and strategies that can help you feel more confident, balanced, and in control of your life.You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Come as you are, and we’ll take it one step at a time.

I am Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 8 years of experience providing psychotherapy to individuals and families. I received my Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology with an emphasis in Counseling and Social Change from San Diego State University and my Master’s of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of La Verne. I have extensive experience working with clients across the lifespan, with a primary focus on supporting individuals navigating Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, often in conjunction with co-occurring mood disorders. My background is rooted in behavioral work, including providing social skills training and addressing social anxiety among children on the spectrum. Additionally, I have experience working with victims of crime of all ages, supporting them in processing and healing from trauma.

College and young adulthood can bring a lot of change at once. I primarily work with female college students and young adult women who may be managing classes, work, relationships, family expectations, greater independence, or decisions about the future while privately feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure of themselves. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, relationship concerns, or a major life transition. You don't have to be in crisis or have everything figured out to benefit from therapy. Sometimes you may simply recognize that you haven't felt like yourself lately or that the ways you've been managing stress aren't working as well as they used to. Therapy can give you space to slow things down, better understand yourself and what you're experiencing, and develop practical ways to feel more grounded and confident moving forward. My approach considers the whole person, not just symptoms. Together, we may explore your thoughts and emotions, how stress shows up in your body, your relationships, sleep, movement, nutrition, everyday habits, and other areas that may be affecting your well-being. For students who would like their faith to be part of therapy, Christian-informed care is also available. If you're looking for a therapist who will meet you where you are, help you look beneath the surface, and support you in making meaningful changes while still being yourself, we may be a good fit.

Young adulthood can feel like a collision of expectations, identity shifts, relationship changes, and questions about who you’re becoming. You may be navigating sexuality, faith, family roles, loneliness or the pressure to “get it right,” all while trying to build a life that feels authentic and grounded. Sometimes being a young adult feels like simple “survival.” When identities, transitions, pressures and confusion stack up, we feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Paralyzing, pressured, performance-focused. Relationships can strained or feel shallow. Loneliness becomes painful. Shame, confusion, or self doubt can creep in. You might feel caught between the person you’ve been and the person you’re trying to grow into — without a clear roadmap. I’m a therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting young adults through the complexities of identity, relationships, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in expertise in human sexuality, women’s and men’s issues, and a deep commitment to being both LGBTQIA+ affirming and religiously affirming. I sometimes use forgiveness as a therapeutic tool — not to excuse harm, but to help clients release what no longer serves them and reclaim their emotional freedom. I’m trained in a wide range of modern talk therapies, allowing me to tailor treatment to your needs. Whether your concerns are related to sex or sexuality, gender, roles, faith or religion, religious trauma, relationships and finding your grown-up people, loneliness and confusion, bonding, infertility and birth trauma, or navigating new relationships – I have the experience and expertise to be your guide. I am passionate about men’s issues, gender wellbeing and women’s issues, and am a LGBTQIA+ ally. My approach is warm, collaborative, and culturally responsive, creating a space where you can explore your story, strengthen or form your adult relationships, and step into the next chapter of your life with clarity and confidence.
