I’m the founder of Vybe and a licensed clinician with over a decade of experience supporting children, teens, and families through life’s most overwhelming and transformative moments. Whether it’s anxiety, identity exploration, complex emotions, or family stress, I work to create a space that feels grounded, real, and personalized.

​

I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of San Diego, with a specialization in school-based counseling, and a dual degree in Psychology and Child Development from Arizona State University.

 

My early career was shaped by intensive trauma work in residential and inpatient settings, including partnerships with local law enforcement and children’s hospitals. I supported youth navigating everything from self-harm, psychosis, trauma, adoption, grief and OCD. In every role I’ve held, I’ve facilitated expressive arts, adventure therapy, or LGBTQ+ groups when the always centering identity, safety, and voice.

​​

Since then, I’ve worked in school settings and outpatient care, helping clients manage emotional dysregulation, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, and family transitions. Most recently, my focus has been on virtual therapy with a strong emphasis on family-centered support.

​

My style blends evidence-based tools with creativity, humor, and compassion. I regularly pursue advanced training to stay fresh, effective, and connected to the evolving needs of the families I serve.

​

Outside of sessions, I’m a beach lover, travel enthusiast, and lifelong learner (ironically because I didn’t love school growing up!). These days, I’m always exploring new ideas, perspectives, and ways to grow both personally and professionally.
