Meet Our Team

I grew up in the Bay Area. I come from an at-risk background myself, so when I say I get it, I mean that literally, not from a textbook.

Basketball brought me to Redding on a scholarship at Simpson University. I stayed because the work I found here mattered. I went on to get my master’s from National University and started building a career doing what I actually care about.

I’ve worked in high-trauma facilities, schools, and wellness centers, spending years working directly with at-risk youth before opening my own practice. Every one of those settings taught me something different about how people change and what gets in the way.

What I learned is this: awareness alone doesn’t cut it. Understanding why you do something is great. But understanding plus action is where real change happens.

I work mostly with kids and teens eight and up who are dealing with big emotions and behavioral challenges, and adults, generally 18 to 50, who are caught up in anxiety, overthinking, and procrastination.

My style is direct. I use a lot of analogies. I’ll probably make you laugh. I’m not the therapist who nods and says, “and how does that make you feel?” for 50 minutes.

We’re going to talk, but we’re also going to work. You’ll walk out with actual tools you can use that week.
