My trauma-informed approach is grounded in my belief that all of my client's have the capacity to heal. My passion is serving as a partner on my client’s journey towards repairing trauma, and attachment wounds, and walking with client’s on the path to self-love and acceptance. I focus on clients who may be hesitant to bring their past trauma to therapy, and need the patience, skills, and attunement of a truly sensitive, caring and trauma-informed approach that works at your pace. Therapy, for me, is a passion and a vocation rooted in relationship, not a "job." I look forward to working with and helping my clients each day.
We will build a relationship, increase your resources that you can use in and out of session, and work experientially with directed, in-the-moment work using body awareness and Somatic Experiencing techniques. I am trained in EMDR, EFT tapping, enrolled in Somatic Experiencing training, and use IFS frequently.
I am here to work with you as you cultivate self-compassion, bringing healing to your wounded parts, histories, and emotions. Embracing your authentic, whole self is within reach, even if your experience tells you otherwise. For those willing, wholeness, peace, and confidence are (still) within you, waiting to be (re) discovered, uncovered, and embraced.

I often use Internal Family Systems and Somatic Experiencing work with clients, as well as mindfullness-based practices. Translation: We WILL talk, but we will also largely focus our awareness on the body, feelings and emotions in the present moment. I also meet in person at Irvine Nature Center and guide clients through Nature Informed Therapy.
