Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Encinitas, CA

About My Clients

Many of my clients are thoughtful, sensitive, and insightful people who carry more internally than they show. You may be successful or responsible on the outside, yet feel anxious, stuck, disconnected, or burdened by old trauma or relationship patterns. I work well with reflective, analytical, and creative adults who want a supportive, trauma-informed, depth-oriented space to better understand themselves and heal from the past.

My Background and Approach

I’m a secular therapist with over 14 years of clinical experience, an M.A. in Counseling, a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology, and EMDR certification through EMDRIA. My work is depth-oriented, trauma-informed, and integrative. I draw from EMDR, parts and ego-state work, attachment theory, and practical coping strategies to support regulation, insight, and change. I often work with reflective problem-solvers, including people in science, technology, medicine, and creative fields, who want therapy that is both thoughtful and effective. Together, we may explore long-standing patterns, process complex trauma, work with the inner world, and develop greater self-compassion and flexibility. My approach balances deeper work with structure and intentional pacing to help support meaningful, sustainable change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I value therapy that is inclusive, collaborative, and respectful of complexity. I welcome immigrants, first-generation adult children of immigrants, LGBTQIA+ individuals, people in nontraditional or poly relationships, and clients of all religious, spiritual, or secular backgrounds. I believe healing unfolds over time and is supported by safety, curiosity, and compassion. If you’re wondering whether we might be a good fit, I offer a complimentary 15–30 minute consultation by phone or video.
