I provide Holistic Psychotherapy to adult individuals ready to embark on a deep and kind healing exploration towards their therapeutic goals. I have a passion for helping people find their power and rewrite the story of who they are. I have extensive experience helping with anxiety and depression, family-of-origin issues, internalized shame and self-criticism, relational or intergenerational trauma, complex trauma, and more. I also have specific knowledge working with people stable in their 12-Step recovery who are looking to dive deeper to heal roots issues; and I have unique insights into helping transplants from other countries.

Hello there! I am a professional counselor associate who has been working for over 3 years. I am a queer non-binary femme and have a lot of experience with LGBTQIA+ clients, as well as partners and family of transgender individuals. Furthermore, I enjoy working with clients in non-traditional relationship styles, such as polyamory or long-distance relationships. I can assist in processing religious trauma and figuring out how to meet spiritual needs in new ways. I also have a lot of insight and compassion for men who want to build introspective skills.

Being a human is hard. In our work together, you'll find a compassionate space where you can navigate life's transitions and challenges, from identity exploration, relationship dynamics and tough emotions. It's okay to feel what you're feeling. We'll work on deepening your connection to your body & emotions, guiding you away from constant fight-or-flight responses. We'll delve into understanding your relationships & past experiences, focusing on attachment and the ways they shape your present, to softly process trauma. Clients have seen less anxiety, greater presence, better management of stress, process trauma, and more confidence.

My goal is to help you regain purpose, be more authentic, and enjoy life and your relationships again. I am trained in Brainspotting therapy which provides a brain-body processing option for difficult-to-change ongoing challenges that talk therapy has not been able to change. Brainspotting is useful for such things as difficult to treat trauma, anxiety, depression, or impulse control, as well as improving things such as performance anxiety, physical pain, and addiction. I also offer a LGBTQ and polyamorous safe counseling experience and provide informed relationship and family counseling for these communities.

Hi there, and thank you for taking the first step towards healing. I know that life can be tough, and sometimes it can feel like the challenges we face are too much to handle. Whether you are transracial adoptee navigating life in a mixed race family, divorced, or a woman who's feeling lost and untethered, I want you to know that I understand. Taking both a experiential and narrative approach to listening and understanding your story, I am passionate about working with individuals, families, and teens. I'll help you explore your inner strengths and resilience, and together, we'll find a path forward towards healing.

Life can be difficult and painful for us all. If you're struggling with anxiety or depression, or you're simply feeling run down by the complexities of life, I can help you. My therapeutic approach is very direct. Therapy with me can feel intense but my clients often tell me that they needed the push I gave them. Too often, people go to counselors who are very nice, but who don't have the courage to challenge people in a compassionate but direct way. If you are ready for a wonderful life change, please contact me.

‍‍I really am a child at heart. This is why I love creating connections with children and teens. I see individuals as part of a larger system, via family, community and culture.

I offer teletherapy to clients in California, Nevada, Oregon and Colorado. I offer in-office visits in Sacramento. Sometimes we expect far too much from ourselves. Each client is invited into a space where there is no expectation and where they are free to be themselves, without fear of judgement or misunderstanding. Adults can sometimes struggle to find space to hold compassion for themselves. Couples (and all variants of relationship structure) can also use a nonjudgmental time and space to feel heard, while building tools for communication.

Sometimes we come to a point where we feel like we’ve hit a wall. Maybe you’ve been doing therapy for years, but you still feel like there’s something that needs to break through. If this feels like where you’re finding yourself, I can help. I work specifically with female-identified clients who relate to the idea of being a highly-sensitive person, or HSP. Being a sensitive woman in our world can be a traumatizing experience in and of itself. Beyond that, HSPs often play the role of the scapegoat in abusive family systems, simply because they’re more aware of what’s going on. But there is nothing wrong with how you were made.

With the Covid-19 Virus my therapy methods have gone to phone or Tele Therapy.

Whatever brings us together, you will be welcomed with honesty and warmth to enable you to do your best work.
