My story

My personal background is a blend of diverse influences—from a large blended family where spirituality and intuition met data-driven logic. This upbringing shaped my ability to approach challenges from a multifaceted and multicultural perspective.

Throughout my career, I’ve guided individuals, couples, and high-achieving professionals—such as executives, entrepreneurs, and medical leaders—through challenges like anxiety, imposter syndrome, and burnout. My experience in medical, specialty outpatient, and community mental health settings has given me a unique ability to support those in high-pressure environments.

A few pivotal experiences at transitional homeless shelters in the SF Bay Area and the Denver County jail deepened my understanding of cultural competency and the importance of respecting each individual's unique story.

In my practice, I prioritize strong therapeutic relationships. I utilize my expertise in data-driven science alongside empathy and purpose to help clients rewrite their life narratives, foster self-awareness, and uncover their inherent strengths.

My commitment to my practice reflects my lifelong themes of empowerment, acceptance, self-compassion, and the union of logic and heart. I rely on evidence-based practices to drive effective treatment and personal growth.

In this space, I serve as your co-pilot on the journey to self-discovery, embracing your unique narrative while fostering self-compassion.
