My Story

After college I entered into the workforce in multiple types of physical health settings. From hospitals to health care facilities, I ended up settling my roots at The Perfect Step, an exercise-based paralysis recovery center. I had the honor of helping rehab people living with all types of neurological injuries and diagnoses. Through a decade of experience in this area, I witnessed the major gap in the holistic care for people living with a diagnosis, injury and disability, especially when it came to addressing the mental and emotional aspects of these diagnoses. Wanting to do more, I returned to school and got my Masters in Clinical Psychology to support people and their families going through these life changing circumstances.

I have two children. My dog Stella and my 3 year old daughter. In my free time I like to do anything that gets me outdoors. You can often find me at college baseball games, farmers markets, and going on long walks with my dog. I’m a huge LAFC fan and I am always open to discussing anything revolving around soccer.

Once I started working full time as a therapist I realized what is there not to love about therapy? I know, I'm biased, but I was once a client before I was a therapist! I think the best part about therapy is when people discover their capabilities to heal themselves. To know that you have everything you need within you to heal is so empowering.
