I don't believe there is an ideal client. I believe everyone is different and needs someone to realize that their experiences are unique and important. A client needs someone who is not going place a label them or follow only the lessions we learned in graduate school. Someone who is going to listen and help guide them to the best solution for them. As your Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), my commitment is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your emotions and experiences. Your well-being is my top priority, and I am honored to support you every step of the way.

Choosing a therapist for yourself can be mind-boggling, especially when there are so many qualified professionals in the community! The search is not just about finding a GOOD therapist, but rather one that best fits YOU. You can't sleep, your thoughts are racing, you replay things in your mind, your inner critic is winning. Your struggling with the aftermath of current or childhood trauma/abuse. You feel confused, lost, and stuck. Your life feels void of meaning. You dread waking up. You're surrounded by people, but still feel alone. You have a secret you've been holding in. You're afraid of being judged.

Along life’s journey, we can experience feelings of sadness, confusion, fear, self-doubt, anger, shame, loneliness, distrust and uncertainty in ourselves, others and/or society at large. At times, past trauma, grief and fear can be activated, leaving us feeling stuck, or leading us to impulsive and/or unhelpful decisions to change the way we feel-at least in the moment. If you’re encountering emotions, behaviors or patterns that leave you, your relationships, and/or life goals out of alignment with what you hope for, I invite you to partner with me in a compassion-based therapeutic space.

What draws you to therapy at this time in your life? What do you expect to gain? Every therapist operates under specific assumptions in therapy, which explains the various methods, and ideologies about treatment. My only assumption about the human is that we continue to suffer because we create a disconnect between our authentic self, and who we present to others. The self we present to others inevitably creates emotions that of depression, and anxiety. Traumas are experiences outside of our control that we can choose to continue to suffer with, or use as interventions to give ourselves a new perspective on life.

Do you struggle with low self-worth, addiction, or intrusive thoughts? EMDR allows you to live your life with more ease and regulation by processing trauma, reducing negative self-talk, and neutralizing cravings. I work with adults and teens to relieve symptoms of PTSD, OCD, addiction, and insomnia. I utilize Hakomi style somatic interventions and IFS internal family systems/ego-state "parts work" and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy as needed. Throughout the healing process, you will notice increased self-trust and a release of old coping strategies. You deserve to live life fully, free from the distraction and pain of old wounds.
