I enjoy working with individuals and couples. My clients may be shy and are searching for their voice, or have experienced a lot but are still in the early stages of their life. I appreciate working with those who are open to thinking and playing freely during our sessions, remaining curious, and asking many questions. My clients inquire about their identities, engage in self-exploration, and reflect on their past and present. My clients may have experienced trauma or struggle with anxiety and depression. I enjoy working with kids, teens, and individuals of all ages, including the aging population, couples, and families.
With a passion for facilitating healing through EMDR and play therapy, I possess a warm and inviting presence that allows my clients to feel safe. I take pride in our time together, meeting my clients where they are and making room for creativity and comfort during their healing journey. We may dance, listen to music or draw together, if we are not talking.
Let's create a safe space together. I'll guide you with curiosity, whether therapy is new or familiar. Everyone can benefit from talking to someone and therapy is not limited to survivors of trauma. You are worthy of care and I’m here to help you on your path to growth and well-being. I’m excited to connect with you. I take California client’s virtually.

I work with clients who may be struggling with trauma related issues but you don't need to be surviving trauma to work with me. During our initial session, we will take the time to get to know one another and learn what kind of therapy you feel most comfortable doing and collaborate to create a plan for addressing your needs. Most of my clients feel safe exploring different ways of healing.

I often use Narrative and Play therapy in my practice. I come from a trauma informed background and offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). EMDR is an evidence-based, mind/body, trauma-focused therapy. In our first session, we'll look at what brought you to therapy and then lean into what you gravitate toward. This is your space and I'm ready to explore it with you.
