Life is full of unexpected ups and downs, which can sometimes feel overwhelming and isolating. Working under the supervision of Dr. Kevin Niehaus LPCC #8824 at Beach Cities Mental Health, I am committed to providing you with a warm and welcoming environment and a safe space where you can be supported, understood, and heard.

Being trained in both business and mental health, I offer a unique perspective on mental wellness. My collaborative and integrative approach implements the therapy and techniques that cater to your individualized needs and preferences. With a focus on understanding your personal experiences and background, while harnessing your strengths, I can help you navigate life’s challenges in an effort to live a more authentic and fulfilling life. My goal in working together is to empower you on your journey to embrace your potential for positive change, growth, and healing.
