Practicing Wholeness Counseling

Secure, healthy relationships are needed for us to grow and thrive. We want to feel close, connected and strong in ourself and our relationships but sometimes with the messiness and busy-ness of life, we can get a bit or a lot off track. In therapy we lean in to those "difficult places" with the intent of rediscovering safety and repairing connections and having brave conversations to strengthen trust within our relationships and within ourselves. I specialize in working with couples and relationships and have a passion for working with couples with young children and the changing demands in that phase. But, I also enjoy working with adult individuals looking to strengthen and deepen their sense of self. I have advanced training in emotion focused therapy (EFT) and utilize this modality to help deepen understanding of each other, find clarity in patterns, and repair and rebuild connection. For education, I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University in San Diego and a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from San Diego State University. I hold great appreciation for this work and is a place Ive been privileged to work in for almost a decade. When I'm not sitting in my chair, you might find me tackling a home project with my husband of 14 years, chasing after two little humans who definitely keep me on my toes or maybe even spending a bit of time outside because like you, Im human and strive to balance the many needs of life.
