Santa Ana Counselors

I believe we are created for relationships—with others, with God, and even with ourselves. I desire for clients to uncover how past and current relationships influence our behavior, thoughts, and feelings in order to bring about change and healing. I am Level 3 trained in the Gottman Couples Method, having skills in guiding couples of all ages and stages in managing conflict and building a stronger friendship.

In addition to being a therapist, I serve Emmaus Road as the Director of Operations and Clinical Supervisor, as well as teach at local universities. I am a Southern California native, and attended Azusa Pacific University to receive my Master’s in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Creating a safe environment where individuals can feel comfortable to be themselves is a vital part of my therapeutic approach. My goal is to assist people to grow and find healing by cultivating healthy coping strategies. In doing this, it will allow individuals to navigate challenges and everyday life in sustainable and self-sufficient ways. I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals of all ages. I have experience dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, loss, stress, relationship challenges, and more. I like to take an integrative approach tailored to each individual because no one therapy style fits all. I offer in person and telehealth options.

I became a therapist after I experienced therapy for myself and realized the many ways it helped me become healthier and more in tune to who I am. In addition to being a therapist, I am a mom to two beautiful little boys who keep me active. We love to play outdoors, frequent the beach, and travel as much as we can.

I believe that each person has a unique, sacred, and oftentimes messy story that is woven together by experiences. At times, these experiences can contribute to feelings of disconnection in relationships, an increase in anxiety and depression, or other challenges in life. 

I am trained in emotionally focused therapy and use a down-to-earth and practical approach to therapy with a heart for working with individuals, families, and couples focusing on issues of trauma, grief, stress, identity, life transitions, additional support in relationships, and more.

I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Azusa Pacific University, and am passionate about walking with people throughout life's challenges. Throughout my many years of experience in church ministry, my eyes have been opened to the diverse mental, spiritual, and relational needs of the church and surrounding communities. Due to this, I am passionate about sitting with people through both the pain and successes that comes with life. In order to facilitate helpful and desired changes within therapy, I rely on the Holy Spirit's presence to guide me in my work.

Specifically, I feel called to work with those who have experienced traumas of all kinds. Trauma can lead to us feeling as though we are broken versions of ourselves, and I believe the Lord desires for everyone to walk in the wholeness of who they uniquely are. I look forward to walking with you towards wholeness!
