I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Orange County and online for residents of California. I provide therapy for people with expansive and challenging experiences of intimacy, relationships, struggles with mental wellness, trauma, grief and loss. ​

My goal is to assist clients develop healthy boundaries, increase insight, increase self esteem, gain new perspectives, and learn positive ways to re frame negative thoughts.

Feeling unsure of how life got so messy, and not being able to figure out who you really are in the middle of it all can feel scary and overwhelming. Therapy is a place of clearing out the confusion. Together we will make meaning out of the broken places, and bit by bit reclaim what has been lost. Everyone longs for a rich, full life, yet, this is hard to find if you have a history of family pain, feel depressed, anxious, or are bearing the wounds of attachment trauma. The good news is, in therapy, you will heal. You'll put the pieces of your story back together, and create beauty and wholeness- your heart will feel alive again.

I am so happy that you have decided to seek help for your child, adolescent, or young adult. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S). I am also certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). I worked for the County of Orange where I provided mental health services using play, sand, and art therapy to help clients express themselves in a trusting and safe environment. I am able to help my clients with a variety of issues and problems related to childhood abuse, trauma, bullying, and symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Everyone deserves a place to feel seen, heard and fully known; a place to explore the parts of yourself that need care and extra attention. As a therapist, it is an incredible honor to be able to sit with you as you begin the hard work of allowing all the parts of yourself…the parts that have been tucked away, the light and dark, to take up space and experience lasting healing. I approach therapy through a wholistic lens that gives attention to mind, body, and spirit.

Our lives are filled with so much unknown and mixed emotions. My goal is to help guide clients through this journey and get out of the feeling of being "stuck". I see all ages and have a passion for working with teens, young adults, and individuals struggling with anxiety, trauma, chronic illnesses, self-esteem, perfectionism, people pleasing, and/or relationship conflicts. I enjoy taking a collaborative and empathetic approach with my clients to best provide a safe and open space to explore whether it be their first time in therapy or visiting again.

Pretending everything is fine is exhausting. Coping with everything life throws at you, juggling different roles, and trying to be all things to all people. You feel guilty and inadequate and worry that someday all those plates you're spinning will come crashing down. Maybe you're an amazing "somebody" who often feels like an invisible and overwhelmed "nobody." Or maybe if they see you, they will know that you're not enough. Your body is not enough. Your relationship is not enough. You're incapable of fixing everything yourself. You feel lost and alone, living in silent despair.

As someone who has battled chronic pain & cancer, I have a unique combination of first-hand knowledge & professional experience. I work as a catalyst to help you build hope, promote healing & inspire growth so that you can live a 'chronically' fulfilling life.

Since becoming a mother my passion has evolved to support women as they go through one the most profound evolutions in their lifetime. While the postpartum period can be filled with cozy moments and lots of love, simultaneously mothers- and their partners- are experiencing sleepless nights and a complete shift in what their new normal is. From changes in work, expectations with your partner and managing your own thoughts and feelings about what motherhood "should," look like, I am here to walk you through all of it.

No one is born with a playbook for life, but you have the power to write your own. Some people I work with recognize that they feel anxious, depressed, possibly reliving trauma, or are generally unfulfilled, while others are not sure why they are unhappy, nervous, not enjoying life. I’m here to help you get more out of life. More love, more joy, more peace. Change isn’t always easy. I offer a space where you can explore your emotions, fears, anger, and experience new-found hope, plus get real solutions, and thrive!

Looking at the world through the eyes of a child, it is easy to see how we are born with goodness and light. Our life experiences can make that light hard to see at times, but looking within can help us get back to who we were truly meant to be.

I do therapy through an attachment lens, focusing on the link between early attachment figures and struggles in the present such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal relationships. I am trauma informed and certified in EMDR. I am Level 1 Internal Family Systems (IFS) Trained. I also do Play Therapy, and Sandtray.
