I work with individuals who are ready to move beyond surface-level coping and step into deeper healing, clarity, and a stronger sense of personal direction. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or carrying the weight of past experiences that continue to impact their present—whether that shows up as anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, or substance use. With over 10 years of experience in behavioral health across Monterey County, I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and substance use recovery. As a dually licensed therapist and EMDR practitioner trained through the Parnell
My approach is both clinical and holistic. I integrate evidence-based practices like EMDR with a broader understanding of how the mind and body are connected. This allows us to not only manage symptoms, but to explore and shift the deeper patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck or disconnected. I also offer leadership coaching.
In addition, I created The Kali Shadow Path, a self-guided personal development experience designed to support deeper self-reflection and growth outside of therapy. At the core of my work is helping you reconnect with your internal alignment—so you can move forward with greater clarity, stability, and intention.
