I am an LMFT in practice since 2009, specializing in trauma, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, BPD, dissociative disorders , addiction recovery, and spiritual/religious issues. I I offer in-person sessions in Mission Viejo and virtual therapy across California, with superbills available for out-of-network clients.
I specialize in trauma informed modalities integrating EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, attachment work, psychodrama, spiritual counseling, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. I support my clients with processing trauma, building resilience, moving towards freedom and reconnecting with their mind, body and spirit.
Drawing from Jungian and ecological psychology, I guide clients to explore and integrate the unconscious, uncover inner landscapes, and build resilience, freedom, and wholeness. I honor each person’s journey and create a safe space for healing, growth, and self-discovery.
