My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma, be it one event or layers of trauma occurring since childhood. They have been able to live a meaningful life to the best of their ability, but they might feel held back by feelings of control, hypervigilance, detachment, etc. stemming from the traumatic event(s). Trauma often shows up in our mood, relationships, and physical health so there may be multiple areas of life that are unsatisfying. My ideal client is ready to work hard to address this!

If you had to describe your life in one word it might be: “overwhelmed.” Maybe you are navigating a major life transition, burnout, identity shifts/management, depression, or noticing old wounds resurfacing. You may feel stuck between cultures, roles, expectations, and wonder where you truly belong. It can feel confusing and exhausting, and even harder when you are trying to hold it all together on your own. If any of this resonates with you, you are not alone and you do not have to navigate alone either.

You may feel isolated in your pain, unsure of how to move forward, or overwhelmed by emotions that don’t seem to make sense.
My journey into this field began as a sexual assault advocate, where I witnessed firsthand how powerful compassionate, trauma-informed care can be in someone’s healing. That experience inspired me to become a counselor & deepen my ability to hold space for others. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of San Diego in 2021.

Areas of focus include: recent / ongoing traumatic stress, loss, chronic toxic stress, relational difficulties, chronic disease / chronic pain related distress, difficulty adhering to wellness plans, fragmented care, grief, caregiving, high performance strain, moral injury, guilt of failure to rescue in personal or professional contexts
You power through, but the toll is real. If navigating personal or professional roles involved putting your needs and challenges "on mute", you may at some point feel how unspoken stress will find its own ways to be heard. Is your body overwhelmed with unexplained exhaustion? If it doesn’t feel right that disconnection from who or what you care about becomes your “normal,” individualized counseling can serve as your “mini retreat” to expand your energy, step away from life limiting cycles, address the origins of imbalance, reintegrate your strengths, and move toward real wellbeing.

So much of life is learning to deal with the cards we’ve been given. I love seeing people not only deal with the cards they’ve been given, but turn them into amazing card castles. I want to help those that seek to get unstuck grow toward their best selves, have great relationships and enjoy lives filled with joy. I like to use well-researched therapeutic techniques that have been proven to help people grow. In couples therapy that means drawing from the research of John Gottman. In family and individual therapy that means an integrative approach - utilizing practical therapeutic tools that help clients achieve their goals.

We get sick of living like this and give into impulsive ways to escape the pain, only to feel more ashamed after.
As a therapist for the better part of a decade now, I firmly believe in the power of working compassionately with these parts of us. My style is deliberate, open-hearted, and playful as I help people examine their relationships with their hearts, their bodies, and their sense of play. I also work with those seeking support around psychedelic integration.
