Cultivate Self-Awareness

Let Go of Old Programming

Become More of Who You Are

 

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR-certified therapist providing online therapy throughout California. I help humans work through trauma, explore identity, navigate ADHD and life transitions, and break free from old patterns.

​

Therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to have it all figured out. My approach combines deeper self-exploration with practical tools to help you build self-awareness, work through what's holding you back, and feel more connected to yourself. 
 

I've been helping people navigate life's challenges since 2010. I hold a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy.
 

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, hiking and taking long drives with my dog, meditating, music, playing pickleball, and mountain biking.
 

I invite you to take off your mask and just be yourself. Don't know who that is? No problem. We can figure it out together.

About me

My Approach

My approach is rooted in presence, curiosity, and acceptance. I see therapy as an opportunity to tune in to your thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and intuition. As you increase in self-awareness and let go of old defenses, you become more of who you really are.

​

Our work will be collaborative, integrative, and tailored to your needs, drawing from evidence-based psychotherapy and philosophical traditions. I'm also certified in EMDR, a well-established treatment for trauma that can help you process painful experiences and reduce their lasting impact.

​

Whether you're seeking relief from anxiety, healing from trauma, or a deeper sense of direction and authenticity, my goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and intention.
