About My Clients
Are you feeling overwhelmed, worried, or like something's holding you back from showing up for yourself and others the way you want to? Maybe you're adjusting to new things, such as becoming a mom, transitioning to a new school or job, or loss of a relationship. Perhaps you've experienced a painful event and your body feels restless, sleep is difficult, and emotions feel unpredictable. I'm here to help! I offer video sessions for those living in California.
My Background and Approach
I support women in learning skills to manage the challenging parts of everyday life and heal from painful experiences. Using EMDR therapy, working with the body, mind, and spirit, I support you in feeling more grounded in the present moment, more calm in the body, and more in tuned with your inner self- quieting that inner critic to support feelings of wellbeing and confidence in the belief that you are and will always be good enough. I help you understand your brain and the reactions in your body to support a holistic approach to learning more about yourself. I'll provide you with tools to help you maintain calm, confident, and present in your day. My clients experience change over time in our work together, not only in their overall anxiety and trauma symptoms, but their mood, relationships, and how they feel about themselves.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My passion in life is working with animals and integrating the healing powers of their nonjudgmental and calming nature into the therapeutic session. I have worked closely with non-profit agencies in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties to implement animal-assisted therapy with at risk youth in the communities. I love having Samba, my trained therapy dog, be apart of our sessions, as she brings so much joy and comfort to the process. I value the mind, body, spiritual connection and incorporate yoga, guided meditations, nature, balanced diet, and other self-care practices in my daily routines-to support me in being the best version of myself- so that I can be the best therapist for you! My hope is that through a warm presence and hope-filled, experiential, approach to therapy we may together create positive change.
