The greatest thing I've learned through my own life challenges is that love always holds the door open for transformation.
The truth is that we all adapt to earth school by developing survival strategies—often inherited or learned without awareness. These adaptations serve us well in the context in which they originated but with time become less protective and more limiting.
I work with adults who are ready to explore what lies beneath, doing the deep inner work of facing life honestly, embracing their freedom to choose, and creating lives that feel authentic and meaningful despite the uncertainty and inevitable loss life brings.

Trauma, strained relationships, and identity struggles can leave deep marks—shaping how you see yourself, connect with others, and move through the world. I earned my MA in Clinical Counseling from Palo Alto University in 2021 and became a licensed marriage and family therapist with the belief that therapy is one of the most powerful acts of self-care a person can choose. My interest in psychology and human behavior has always been paired with a strong desire to help others, and it’s been both inspiring and humbling to walk alongside my clients as they heal, grow, and reclaim parts of themselves they once thought were lost.

I have worked in several areas of mental health care and have truly found my purpose and passion in assisting those who struggle with trauma and/or addiction. I understand how trauma has been locked within the psyche and having an individual feel as though they are stuck within themselves. I understand that addiction was a solution to several problems at the time because it allowed relief, but in reality it only masked the underlying issues. My goal for each of my clients is to have them recognize their own strengths and abilities so they may continue or begin to live meaningful lives.

You imagined the path to parenthood to look a lot different. You are pregnant, trying to conceive, coping with losses, adjusting to parenthood for the first (or umpteenth time), transitioning into peri/menopause... it's nothing like you had imagined. Life transitions, expected and unexpected can leave you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, and sometimes traumatized. It's important to get help so you can process these experiences and get back to living the full life you'd imagined for yourself.
