Grew up in San Diego, but I have lived all over the country. Graduated from University of San Diego for my undergrad, and got my Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University.

Married for 10+ years., Our blended family keeps us on our toes.

Life changes, and so do relationships. Every lasting relationship is built on the daily choice to continue choosing one another. When we lose sight of that commitment, even the strongest foundations can begin to crack.

I am committed to lifelong learning and regularly pursue continuing education to deepen my knowledge and broaden my clinical perspective. At the same time, I am intentional about not presenting myself as a specialist in areas where I lack meaningful personal experience. 

While empathy, education, and clinical training are essential, I believe there is unique value in having walked a similar path. Personal experience often provides an added depth of understanding that can enhance the therapeutic process and help clients feel genuinely seen and understood.

I specialize in blended families and ethical non-monogamy—not because I am an expert, but because I live it. I’m not preaching from some ivory tower, nor am I looking to study your behavior from a purely clinical perspective out of personal curiosity. Instead, I bring both lived experience and professional insight to create a space where you can feel understood, respected, and supported.
