• I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle. I work with LGBTQ community and with all kind of diversity. At Eye Of The Storm counseling I specialize with Adolescents, Adults, Relationships, Individuation, Immigration, Life Changes, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Sexual Issues, Personal Growth and Development, Life Style issues, and Court referrals.

I earned my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where my training emphasized depth-oriented and integrative psychotherapy alongside evidence-based treatment.

My clinical background includes experience across a variety of settings and treatment modalities. I have worked as a behavior interventionist providing ABA-based support, as well as a play therapist supporting children and families through developmentally informed, relational interventions. I have also practiced as a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist, integrating preparation, dosing-session support, and integration work within an ethical and client-centered framework. Additionally, I participated as a clinician in the MAPS Phase III clinical trial for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for PTSD, an experience that deepened my understanding of trauma treatment, research-informed care, and the careful integration of emerging therapeutic modalities. Earlier in my career, I worked as an academic coach providing specialized support to children and adolescents with ADHD and learning differences. I have also facilitated therapeutic support groups and led introduction meetings at Cancer Support Community Redondo Beach, further strengthening my group facilitation skills and my commitment to accessible, compassionate community-based care.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Northern California. I earned my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University. Before private practice, I worked for a nonprofit within the VA Community Care Network, then shifted into specialty mental health with children and families. I specialize in the treatment of OCD, anxiety and PTSD,I’m especially passionate about supporting first responders, veterans, and their families.

Relationship and communication challenges are problematic. Challenging adolescents and children suffering from ADHD or Learning Disabilities are impacting family life.

My journey into mental health began as a path to healing for myself. Experiencing significant family mental health and addiction challenges, I saw how a broken system could worsen treatable issues. Personally navigating trauma, ADHD, and neurodivergent symptoms, I found deep healing through a blend of Western psychology and Eastern spirituality practices. I offer a deeply personalized approach and connect authentically with the people I serve.
