About
As someone who has walked alongside countless individuals through trauma, self-doubt, and life's unexpected turns, I am passionate about helping people reclaim their strength, rewrite their narrative, and develop the tools needed to rise with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 2 years of experience. I specialize in helping adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. I work with clients seeking clarity, emotional balance, and healthier coping skills, and I partner with them to build confidence, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from West Coast University. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and goal-focused. I draw from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-informed care to help clients build insight, develop coping skills, and create lasting change.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m here to help you uncover your strengths, break old patterns, and build a meaningful, steady life.. When you’re ready, I would be honored to support you on your path to healing, growth, and long-term emotional well-being.

I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW) with a Masters from Cal State Fullerton. I have experience with children and adolescents faced with anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, poor self esteem, and loss.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in California, CA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
