Something has brought you here — maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that feels stuck, or the exhaustion of holding everything together while quietly struggling inside. Maybe you're a parent watching your teenager pull away and you don't know how to reach them. Or maybe you've been carrying the weight of past experiences for so long that you've almost forgotten what it feels like to just be okay. Whatever it is, you don't have to keep navigating it alone. I work with teens, adults, and seniors in California who are ready to stop surviving and start feeling like themselves again.

Feeling stuck? You possess an innate capacity to heal; therapy is about uncovering the capabilities you already carry. As a trauma-focused therapist, I use EMDR, Brainspotting, and depth-oriented approaches to help you untangle painful experiences as purposeful signals for growth. Struggling with anxiety, relationship patterns, or the lingering impact of past trauma? I work with adults navigating PTSD, grief, and life-altering events who feel "stuck" in unwelcome emotions. Together, we will untangle these signals and build the clarity and confidence needed to restore your innate capacity for a meaningful life.

Everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to help mom do the dishes.
Choose discomfort over resentment.
Shout to all my slow growers, late bloomers, and people whose plans got derailed by circumstances beyond their control.
The more emotionally honest you become, the less confusing life feels.
I don't think the purpose of life is to constantly improve yourself. I think healing can be subtractive, try to remove everything that prevents you from fully expressing and celebrating the essence of who you are.
Contact me if you are interested to learn more about me.
