You may understand your patterns and still feel stuck in them, especially in relationships. Many of the women I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or dynamics that leave them feeling disconnected or unsure of themselves. Some notice patterns around self-worth, body image, or a strong inner critic, while others feel the impact of past experiences or trauma. Often, one part understands what’s happening while another feels overwhelmed or reactive. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but for something that helps things truly shift toward a deeper sense of wholeness in mind, body, heart, and soul.
My approach is trauma-informed and attachment-based, integrating somatic therapy and parts work (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR. Rather than only talking through problems, we work with what’s happening underneath them—your nervous system, protective patterns, and unprocessed emotions—so change can happen at a deeper, more lasting level.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve been carrying a lot or have tried to work through things before. You don’t need to have it all figured out. We’ll move at a steady, pace together. I can’t change where you started, but I can give you the freedom to decide where you finish. You are so worthy of this investment in yourself! Let's chat.

Groups
The Work Beneath the Pattern: 6-Week Process Group
This small, therapist-led group is for individuals who feel self-aware but still stuck in recurring emotional or relational patterns. Many have done therapy before, yet find that insight alone hasn’t led to lasting change. Using a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and somatic approach, we’ll work with protective patterns (like anxiety or avoidance), process underlying emotions, and understand how these show up in relationships. Designed for those ready for deeper change, not just coping skills. 6 week program on Wednesdays 5–6pm, $500, In-person in Carlsbad or virtual in CA. Brief screening required.
