I am a LMFT in CA and NV. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in familiar patterns despite “doing all the right things,” therapy can help you slow down and better understand what’s really going on. Many people I work with are capable, self-aware, and resilient, yet find themselves feeling disconnected or worn down. I believe that even in the midst of struggle, your inner strengths- shaped by your experiences, values, and personality- can be powerful tools for healing, growth, and meaningful change. I’m here to walk alongside you as you navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, or past experiences.
I use a multi-theoretical approach, tailoring treatment to your individual needs. I often draw from Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based practices to help you better understand and shift patterns that leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally reactive.
I strive to offer a welcoming, culturally sensitive space that supports healing and growth. If you’re ready to explore your next steps, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see whether working together feels like a good fit.
