I work with you to uncover those self-defeating beliefs and behaviors that can make life problematic. My intention is to help you gain insight into yourself and to encourage change that moves you forward toward fulfilling your goals and dreams. Clients come to me with anxiety, anger issues, depression, marital issues including infidelity, family conflicts, grief and loss, co-dependency, Adult Child of Alcoholics/Addicts issues, and problems with substance use. Furthermore, I work with young women in their 20's and 30's trying to navigate through life transitions, relationship and career issues. I do NOT take insurance. Ask me why.

I use a variety of practices and therapies, including: EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Informed Therapy. My process is always to ask you, the client, what it is you want, what would that look like, and what is in your way. Then we collaborate to get you there!

Therapy is about meeting you right where you are, regardless of how messy life seems. Together, we'll identify where you get stuck and create a new path forward. In our sessions, you'll find me attentive, disarming, and inquisitive. We'll collaborate on what you want to achieve in therapy and figure out what prevents you from moving forward. We'll find ways to provide immediate relief and hope while exploring the root causes of these issues. With couples, I understand that the same old issues can resurface, and I will help you discover new ways of being together to overcome these stalemates and grow closer.

Handling the demands of the educational system is tough enough.

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.

Both in-person & virtual sessions are available.
Clients typically come to me unsatisfied with life and interpersonal relationships stemming from difficulty trusting, perfectionism, self-doubt, anxiety, or depression. From the combination of EMDR Therapy, Parts work, and polyvagal therapy, I have been gifted the opportunity to witness the transformation from repetitive self-critical and self-deprecating thoughts that destroy their self-worth, confidence and self-compassion to individuals who no longer need to base their worth on successes or validation from others, embody a sense of quiet confidence, and can view themselves and others with much more kindness and compassion.

I offer in-person sessions in Long Beach and Pasadena, plus virtual therapy across California.
Looking for a therapist who’s deeply relational, super somatic, and kinda woo? I’m a somatic therapist specializing in holistic trauma recovery—I know trauma healing is serious and messy work—but I also believe it can be fun, weird, out-of-the-box, and for it to be effective – it has to be grounded in the body. I’m not the blank-slate, bobblehead type of therapist who just nods and stays neutral. My work is collaborative, raw, real, and heart-centered—I take a no bullshit approach, but always come from a place of love. I show up authentically and invite my clients to do the same, because that's what therapy and healing is about.
