Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
verified by TherapyRoute
“I offer therapy via phone and online. My focus is culturally responsive trauma-informed care that is client centered.”
About Me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Diego, California. I work with people facing abuse, relationship problems, cross-cultural stress, LGBTQI+ concerns, and personality difficulties. I provide advocacy, mindfulness training, adolescent therapy, and EMDR.
Approach
From that foundation, therapy moves at your pace, blending grounding practices with deeper processing when you feel ready. Based in San Diego, I meet people in English by phone or video, keeping sessions practical and accessible and checking in between meetings as needed. I weave mindfulness, paced memory work, collaborative problem-solving, and advocacy into a tailored rhythm, adjusting tools and short tasks to what feels manageable. Those navigating relationship strain, cross-cultural pressures, or trauma often find this steady, flexible way of working helpful.
