Holding
Space for
change
I’m so glad you’re here. As a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I offer individual, couples, and family therapy to support the treatment of relational issues, emotional pain, trauma, grief and loss. I honor the courage and vulnerability it takes to ask for help, to look at our wounds, to embrace the messy parts of our lives. I consider it a privilege to hold space for meaningful change and healing with my clients, and I would love to support you in your process. While I’m based in San Diego, California…my practice is virtual and I currently offer Teletherapy video sessions to clients who live in the state of California.
