Are you exploring neurodivergence or have you been diagnosed late in life with ADHD and/or Level 1 Autism? Maybe you're aware of deep emotional suffering and are ready to step into a process of healing. I work with adults who want to heal trauma, especially neurodivergent adults.My goal is to help you know yourself deeply, and gently but profoundly help you heal emotional and relational wounds so you can grow. As a late-diagnosed neurodivergent person myself, I love helping people learn more about themselves and reprocess traumatic life experiences so a fulfilling path forward becomes the new norm.
With formal training in trauma-informed, neuro-affirming IFS and EMDR, I help my clients move through their unhealed emotional wounds to a place of self compassionate healing. Imagine living in a way that you're free to unlock the beautiful, unique attributes within you and thrive. In-person therapy in North County San Diego coming Spring 2027!
I've watched my clients move from scared, confused, feeling like outsiders, to self-compassionate, confident, and living with inner peace. Please reach out for a free 20 minute consult to see if it feels like I'm a good fit to help you grow into new healthy patterns, knowing you are empowered and whole.

I help people heal emotional trauma through a compassionate therapy called internal family systems (IFS). IFS is a non-shaming and peaceful approach that helps people learn how to form new relationships with themselves. When people experience IFS, they have the opportunity to deeply experience self-compassion. Then big shifts happen in the way they relate to others and the world around them.

I practice IFS, EMDR and sometimes KAP therapies for the underlying issues that fuel emotional suffering. Through awareness of how emotion shows up in the body, I invite people to experience their inner emotional world and befriend it. I work to help you gain clarity on the parts of you that are reacting to past or current emotional pain so that calm and self-compassion become the new norm.
