Areas of Expertise
If you’re ready to create change, heal old wounds, or enhance performance, I’d be honored to support you on your journey toward growth and lasting transformation!
I’ve spent the past 30 years helping people heal, grow, and reach their fullest potential through my therapy and coaching business in San Diego. I earned my degree in Psychology with a Business minor from UCLA and my Master of Science in Counseling with an emphasis in Multi-Cultural Counseling from San Diego State University. I am an EMDR Consultant and certified in HypnoBreathwork®. I constantly strive to grow and excel and stay abreast of the newest research in my field so that I can offer you services that are current and effective.
​
​I have been personally trained by the leading experts and developers of EMDR,
EMDR 2.0, The Trauma Resiliency Model, Strategic Therapy, Post Induction Therapy, Brain-Spotting, Polyvagal Theory, Family Systems, HypnoBreathwork®, and Solution Focused Therapy. I integrate these evidence-based and cutting-edge models into the services I provide. Each is designed to help you strengthen your inner resources, heal unresolved experiences, and release patterns that keep you from living the life you want.
​
​I have extensive experience working with nationally ranked athletes—including equestrian competitors, long-distance runners, track and field athletes, figure skaters, baseball players, and cyclists. My own experience as an All-American Distance Runner and my work with these clients has deepened my understanding of the connection between mindset and performance. I have also worked extensively with top-notch business owners and corporate leaders seeking greater clarity, confidence, and balance in both their personal and professional lives.

My Approach
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for change, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I help people heal, grow, and reconnect with their strengths so they can move toward the life they truly want to live. ​My approach is strategic, compassionate, and solution-focused—always personalized to meet your unique goals. Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, addiction, relationship challenges, or simply feeling disconnected, we’ll work together to create real, lasting change.
​
As an EMDR Consultant and certified HypnoBreathwork® Coach, I use powerful, evidence-based tools to help you process past experiences, clear emotional blocks, and reprogram limiting beliefs. I also offer EMDR Intensives—focused sessions designed to create deep healing and meaningful progress in a shorter amount of time.
​
I work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families, both in-person and via teletherapy. My clients include those struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, and life transitions—as well as people seeking more purpose, clarity, and emotional balance.
​
With over 20 years of executive management experience and a background as an All-American distance runner, I also love working with executives, entrepreneurs, and athletes who want to enhance performance, mindset, and resilience. I use EMDR, Brainspotting, HypnoBreathwork®, and Solution-Focused techniques and will help you break through barriers and step fully into your potential.
​
At the heart of my work is a belief that healing is possible for everyone. My role is to help you access your inner strength, build resilience, and create meaningful change—so you can feel more grounded, empowered, and alive in every area of your life.
