Therapists in Atascadero, CA
I work with women who feel overwhelmed by trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, emotional reactivity, people-pleasing, chronic self-criticism, or feeling disconnected from themselves. Many clients feel stuck in patterns they understand logically but can’t shift emotionally or physically. They often feel on edge or easily triggered. My work supports moving from survival-based patterns into deeper healing by working with the nervous system and processing unresolved trauma. I work with clients in San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles, and online in California, Texas, and Ohio.

Life can be so unfair and being human is incredibly difficult, yet there is also so much beauty in life to experience as well! It can be exhausting to feel like you have to put on a front and be filtered in order to do life while suffering. Learning to find a way to hold and make sense of these contradictions can be a painful, confusing and complicated process! We often view things as being “either/or” when much of life is actually "both/and." My desire is to create a safe place for you to JUST BE…unfiltered…to help process, and receive rest for your soul and mind in order to heal and live life as your best authentic self.

Healing often starts with listening to the body in a safe environment. Together, we explore and connect with the mind, body, and soul to create a greater sense of wholeness and well-being. Trauma-informed work is at the heart of my approach, based on understanding that past experiences can shape how we respond now and using that awareness to guide our healing. In our work together, my intention is to create space to slow down, listen inward, and explore what is asking to be understood, integrated, and transformed. My approach is compassionate, somatic, relational, and growth-oriented.

Sometimes it feels hard to feel centered in the world, in our relationships, or even within ourselves. Anxiety, worries, fogginess, and stress crowd out our own goals and we feel stuck between protecting ourselves and judging ourselves. As the pressure grows we feel disconnected from who we want to be and get stuck in who we think we need to be. As someone who has supported many clients navigate the feelings of being lost brought on by trauma, family issues, and low self-esteem, I know that healing can feel out of reach. I am here to say, it is not. We will work together to find that grounded, centered, and hopeful self.

I specialize in working with children and adolescents (ages 3 to 18). I have 11 years of experience working with this age group. My theoretical orientation is Play Therapy. Children and adolescents don't express and process their thoughts and feelings like adults do - Play Therapy is a way for them to communicate through play and art.

I'm interested in your unique needs and helping you in the most indivualized way possible. I want to help you identify and reach your therapeutic goals, and put an end to self-sabatoging thoughts and behaviors. While therapy can often be hard work, it's worth it to feel better in your relationships with yourself and others. Beginning therapy can feel like a frightening step and I know how important the therapist-client relationship can be in working through issues together. Please note, I am not an "in-network" provider with any insurance companies. I am contracted with the EAP, Lyra and can offer super bills.

My focus is young adults 18+, college students and LGBTQ+ folx. I have extensive experience working with college students. I aim to support and guide those who are struggling with adjusting to college/young adulthood and coping with depression and anxiety. I also assist individuals who are working on strengthening their identity, exploring their sexuality and seeking change in relational patterns. Decreasing stigma around mental illness as well as suicide prevention and LGBTQ+ rights are important causes to me as an individual. I am an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. I am also a sex-positive therapist, who is not here to judge you. :)
