THERAPY FOR TEENS & WOMEN
CALL OR TEXT: 951.505.0571
Most clients who seek to work with me are looking to explore and work through their experiences with anxiety, grief, depression, or lingering symptoms of trauma.
I strongly believe people are good and capable, especially with proper supports in place and a foundation of emotional safety. But, that doesn’t mean life is not without challenges and deeply painful moments. Cue big overwhelm. Sometimes, we need support to help us carry what comes up for us when life gets hard.
My goal is to help you get in touch with your capabilities, show up to your life, and help you build secure, healthy relationships with yourself and others.
RELATIONSHIPS
Couples struggling with communication often feel misunderstood, disconnected, or stuck in repetitive patterns of conflict. These challenges can create emotional distance and increase frustration, making it harder to express needs and listen empathetically. Focusing on improving communication skills can help partners build trust, deepen intimacy, and resolve conflicts in healthier ways. With compassionate guidance, couples can learn to navigate misunderstandings, set clearer boundaries, and foster a more supportive connection.
Your relationship is my client.
I help partners take responsibility for their role in the relationship and support them in expressing themselves honestly through words and actions. I integrate Emotion-Focused Couple Therapy (EFT) and Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT, Level I) with a humanistic approach.
I have worked with couples experiencing trauma and betrayal. My goal is to help you both feel like you can establish trust in yourself, show up fully in your relationships, and establish strong relational connections. We can discuss your desired work in a consult to see if we’re a good fit.

TRAUMA-INFORMED
Trauma is the residual experience of a highly impactful and/or stressful event that registers on the central nervous system. Trauma keeps the alert system switched on in our bodies, even when that stress response is no longer necessary and/or helpful.
In this work, we won’t avoid the uncomfortable feelings around trauma, instead we look at it head on, enhance our ability to cope with feeling it all, and find adaptive ways to keep showing up to life.
You are more strong and capable than you know.
I help you face your trauma with compassion, name your triggers, handle distress better, and restore agency over your life.
We address trauma through a combination of talk therapy and somatic work: Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
