I was raised in Northern California’s East Bay Area, from Vallejo to Richmond. I recently moved to the Modesto area. I have always been interested in psychology. I noticed as a child that people felt comfortable talking to me about whatever they were experiencing. I developed a passion for thinking deeply about why people act and respond to life the way they do.

I am optimistic about each person’s ability to enjoy life more. I also believe that life is absolutely absurd at times. I believe this absurdity can be balanced by creating purpose and personal meaning. I think that learning how to be genuine and act in alignment with our own values allows us opportunity to feel more internal peace even in a time and place that is volatile and scary.

I enjoy doing therapy and look forward to working with motivated individuals.
