About My Clients
I support individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions. My clients are often sensitive, introspective, and used to holding space for others—now learning to do the same for themselves. I work well with those exploring attachment, codependency, chronic stress, or self-worth. Rooted in compassion and curiosity, my practice honors all identities and life stories.
My Background and Approach
I believe healing doesn’t come through quick fixes, but through brave witnessing, deep feeling, and learning to be in relationship—with ourselves, our bodies, our stories, and others. My approach is relational, holistic, and soul-attuned, integrating psychodynamic, somatic, mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused therapies. I also draw from EMDR, parts work, and person-centered care. Having walked through my own experiences with grief, family addiction, codependency, anxiety, and major life transitions, I bring both clinical training and lived empathy to this work. I know the pain of survival mode—and the freedom of tending gently to what’s been buried or unloved within. I hold a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and have worked across IOP, community mental health, group facilitation, and private practice. Together, we’ll create a space for deep inquiry, healing, and lasting growth.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m a lover of the outdoors, often hiking with my dogs in the nearby mountains, swimming in the ocean, snowboarding the Sierras, or just taking a stroll. Nature is one of my greatest teachers, and I return to it often to ground and reconnect. As an introvert, I treasure solitude and slowness. My favorite kind of morning involves a warm cup of coffee or tea, a good book, and anything cozy. I love to cook and tend to my houseplants (which you might catch a glimpse of in the background during our sessions!) Mindfulness and meditation are central to both my personal life and professional work. They aren’t just tools I offer but practices I live by. The stillness they create, the awareness they foster, and the compassion they cultivate are the heart of my approach to healing. Being a therapist is more than a career for me, it’s a calling. I hold this role with reverence and gratitude, and I’d be honored to support you as you cross whatever threshold you find yourself standing at now.
