Anxiety has a way of seeping into how we see ourselves and connect with others. Maybe you keep repeating the same relationship patterns, struggle to feel secure in who you are, or find that worry shadows even your closest connections. My path into this field began with curiosity about the human experience, how we develop a sense of self and navigate relationships. That curiosity still guides my work today. I earned my MA from Pepperdine University in 2007, and I work with adults 18 and older. I value helping people grow into a stronger sense of self and greater self-acceptance, and I believe that kind of growth is within your reach.
I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and yoga therapy, blending insight with practices that connect mind and body. Together we explore the patterns showing up in your relationships, quiet the anxious thoughts underneath them, and build a steadier, more accepting relationship with yourself.
Choosing to look inward takes courage, and it often starts with a single message. You do not have to untangle these patterns on your own. When you are ready to begin, I would be glad to hear from you.
