When your sense of self feels tangled in family dynamics, past trauma, or the weight of others’ expectations, it’s easy to feel invisible—even to yourself. Many of the teens and adults I work with have spent years hiding parts of who they are to keep the peace or protect themselves. This can leave you questioning your identity, your worth, and your place in your own story. With an MS from California Lutheran University and a focus on trauma-informed care, I help individuals—especially those in the 2s/LGBTQIA+ community—begin to unravel these patterns and build more authentic, connected lives.

Therapy is an art, not a science. Since every person is a unique individual, therapy will vary depending on the persons involved. Hence, there can be no one approach to therapy which works for everyone. To facilitate change, different techniques may be used. However, the forging of a therapeutic alliance is essential for change. Research has shown that a successful outcome in therapy depends on this. In humanistic psychology, emphasis is placed on self-actualization. A propensity to self-actualize is presumed to exist in all persons. Karen Horney made the following analogy to illustrate this phenomenon.

I sought licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist to help those afflicted with addiction, mental illness, and traumatic brain injury.
