Are you navigating the pain of addiction, betrayal, or past trauma like PTSD? Maybe you're a student or medical professional facing burnout, or someone feeling overwhelmed by relationship struggles. You want to feel seen, rebuild trust, and regain a sense of peace and direction. Most of all, you long for a safe, supportive space where your story is honored, your strengths are brought to light, and lasting change becomes possible. Whether you’re feeling stuck or simply unsure where to start, therapy can be a powerful step toward clarity, hope, and healing.

I use Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy to help you reframe challenges and reconnect with your resilience. When deeper wounds emerge, EMDR offers a gentle way to process painful memories and restore emotional balance. Together, we’ll create a collaborative space where your goals drive the path forward.

You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. I work with clients in Anaheim, Irvine, and nearby areas, and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we’re a good fit. If you're ready to take the next step in healing and reclaiming your story, call or message me today. Your path to meaningful change starts here! Call or message me today
