I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with adults and couples in Paso Robles, California. I specialize in attachment wounds, betrayal trauma, and developmental trauma, and how these experiences shape relationships, emotional regulation, and sense of self.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, incorporating EMDR, Brainspotting, Flash Technique, and attachment-focused therapy. I help people to understand how trauma lives in the body and nervous system, process what has been held over time, and develop more secure, connected ways of relating—without forcing disclosure or re-traumatization.
I offer a calm, collaborative space where healing unfolds at your pace. Therapy is not about fixing what’s “wrong,” but about restoring safety, clarity, and choice—within yourself and in your relationships.
