ABOUT ME


​After graduating from Florida State University with a dual bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Theatre, I moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. Throughout my time as an actor, I learned that I was enamored with the human psyche and the healing components the acting process brought to me. In conjunction with drama therapy classes at the Drama Therapy Institute of Los Angeles, I completed my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles.

As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #118409, I see clients (individuals, couples, and families) in person in Hermosa Beach and online via telehealth. I am a trauma-informed LGBTQIA+/poly affirmative therapist.  

​I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities and techniques stemming from cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic theory and mindfulness based practices. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting, techniques often used in processing experiences and traumas. As an artist myself, I also incorporate eclectic art therapies as a form of healing.

​I also offer Character Therapy and Life Coaching Sessions. Please view my services.
