Let's Connect (323) 859-6432

I offer trauma-informed therapy for individuals and couples, helping them navigate stress, build stronger connections, and find paths to personal and relational growth. My clients feel overwhelmed by the weight of past trauma, ongoing stress, or burnout from their personal or professional life. The couples that I see are navigating the complexities of intercultural relationships, significant life changes, or those who are seeking to repair their bond and rebuild trust. They might be struggling with communication barriers, conflicting values, or unresolved hurts that have created distance and misunderstanding.

In therapy, you can expect a compassionate and supportive environment where we will work together to understand and heal the impacts of trauma, stress, and burnout. I incorporate Emotionally Focused Couples & Individual Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), E.M.D.R., and mindfulness as foundational approaches in our sessions.

My clients are motivated by the hope of living a more fulfilled and connected life, either within themselves or within their relationships. They are ready to invest in their growth, explore new perspectives, and embrace the changes needed to achieve their goals. You don't have to go through this alone. let's start your journey toward healing and connection.

I work from a mindfulness perspective so we can work on practical things to help you stay balanced and focused in the present. We will also look at how you form relationships with people from both your past and present or your attachment style to see how that may be impacting you as well.
