On top of that, friendships are not what they used to be, your spouse and family are annoying, and life seems to be falling apart.
The trauma you experienced is valid and demands healing with someone who can accompany you on your journey. Through EMDR and Brainspotting, I help you work through memories that cause painful triggers. These methods touch the deepest part of the brain where trauma is held, healing emotions and the body so that painful memories lose their power over you.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of CA and TN.
I believe every human being deserves to be seen and live in a way that brings about peace, self-love, and a positive self-image. This can be difficult when immersed in rigid cultural systems, exposed to trauma, and dealing with intense emotional pain. Extrinsic influences about gender, ethnicity, nationality, physical and mental capabilities, sexuality (and much more) can leave so many people questioning their own existence. In the face of this, daily living itself can feel like a challenge and leave a person feeling isolated and alone. My hope is to provide you with the support we all deserve in order to live as fully as possible.

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family.
You feel tired, overwhelmed and you wish you could shake that feeling of dread that keeps following you around. Your passions feel distant and hidden from you. You feel like everyone else has it figured out better than you and you keep catching yourself beating yourself up over it. It feels like nothing you do is good enough and you are constantly trying to keep up. You thought it would be different by now and you feel like it's your fault. You find yourself trying to numb the pain but deep down you know it's not helping. Something has to change.

I'm trained in EMDR and have experience using somatic work, internal family systems therapy, and emotion-focused therapy.
Are you ready to better understand yourself and the patterns that have kept you stuck in relationships, in self-doubt, or in pain? You might be navigating anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, parenting stress, identity shifts, or the lingering impact of past trauma.
At the core, you’re looking for connection with others, with yourself, and with a deeper sense of clarity and peace. You want to feel more confident, more grounded, and more in charge of your own story. If that resonates, I’d be honored to support you in that process.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
