About My Clients
(Reduced rate for Kaiser members) You’ve done the work, maybe even therapy, but something still feels missing. My clients often describe feeling emotionally detached or unsure how to express what’s inside. I help adults who crave deeper self-understanding and connection learn to feel safe in their emotions and bring their authentic selves into their relationships.
My Background and Approach
I help adults who have learned to suppress emotions out of necessity but now find themselves feeling numb, angry, or lost. My background in Emotion-Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) guides our work as we gently uncover how your emotions have been trying to protect you all along. In therapy, we move beyond insight into deep emotional transformation learning to listen to your feelings as messengers rather than enemies. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to open up, express what’s been buried, and rediscover your emotional vitality so you can show up authentically in your relationships and your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and emotionally safe, especially those who grew up without that kind of support. My work is rooted in the belief that emotional healing is possible when we stop judging our pain and start listening to it. I support inclusive, trauma-informed spaces where people of all identities and backgrounds can heal with dignity. I’m an advocate for mental health access, emotional education, and de-stigmatizing therapy, especially for men and BIPOC communities. Outside of therapy, I value connection, growth, and quiet moments, whether it’s bowling, barbequing, or spending time with loved ones, I strive to show up with authenticity and heart, both in my practice and in the world.
