I compassionately support adults healing from complex trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, chronic pain, and life stress. With 25+ years of therapy experience, I guide clients through their healing journey using EMDR therapy as my primary approach, complemented by CBT and DBT techniques along with mindfulness and somatic practices. I understand the deep connection between mind and body, offering a safe, nurturing space where you can process pain and reclaim your life. Available for in-person and online sessions throughout California.
I help you heal from trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic illness and chronic pain through compassionate EMDR therapy. Using evidence-based approaches including CBT and DBT, I create a safe space where you can process difficult experiences, develop coping skills, and reclaim your well-being. Together, we'll work toward lasting healing and empowerment.
You don't have to carry the weight of trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or illness alone. I understand how overwhelming life can feel, and I'm here to walk alongside you on your healing journey. Through gentle EMDR, CBT, and DBT approaches, we'll create a safe space to process experiences and rediscover your strength. You deserve support and hope.
