I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I received my BA and MS from California Baptist University and am a PhD candidate for my doctorate in Psychology with a specialization in trauma and disaster relief. I currently work in private practice and teach at the undergraduate and graduate levels at California Baptist University.  I have training in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Trauma-focused CBT, and EMDR. My areas of expertise include working with individuals who have experienced trauma, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD).

I am married to my wonderful husband Joseph for the past 6 years. When I am not in the therapy room I am out hiking with my husband and dogs, traveling to a new place, or reading a good book with my heated blanket and some hot cocoa.
