Let's Connect (657) 298-4748

Childhood trauma and neglect can leave lasting marks, shaping how you connect, parent, and see yourself. You may think, “I don’t want to pass this pain on to my kids.” If past wounds still affect your relationships, sense of safety, or faith, therapy can help you heal. Together, we’ll explore how early experiences influence your present, break generational cycles, and build secure, healthy connections. Healing is hard—but you don’t have to do it alone.

With 15+ years of experience in attachment-based and trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR, I tailor my approach to each individual, honoring their strengths, culture, and values. I leverage the latest research and focus on relational patterns in the safety of a compassionate therapeutic relationship. Together, we’ll work toward your healing and growth.

I’m passionate about helping both children and adults who have experienced difficult pasts—whether from childhood abuse, foster care/adoption, neglect, PTSD, anxiety, attachment struggles, or parenting challenges. If you’re a parent who has experienced trauma or loss and is struggling to find your way, I’m here to offer the support and guidance you need.
