Are you feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious? Struggling with loneliness, trauma, or relationship challenges? There is hope! As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I provide evidence-based treatment that helps people heal from the symptoms and emotional distress connected to traumatic experiences. I also support clients facing life transitions, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, anxiety, and more.
My approach is warm and nonjudgmental. I work collaboratively with clients in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where together we can identify core issues and explore unhelpful thought and behavior patterns that may be keeping you from finding meaning and enjoyment in life.
I am licensed to practice psychotherapy in California and Nevada. I offer in-person therapy in California and secure telehealth services to clients residing anywhere in California and Nevada.
