I work with adults and teenagers who are looking to manage symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. I will be with you on the journey of healing to discovery, recovery, and connection to your true self. I also specialize in working with individuals experiencing life transition issues such as career/academic concerns and relationship stress. I approach therapy with a person-centered mindset to create as comfortable and welcoming an environment as I can. I believe the trust built between you and a therapist is one of the more powerful tools we as clinicians can offer, and I hope to garner that trust in my own practice.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.

We all feel lost from time to time, but there’s always light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood. I can help you address unresolved trauma, in order for you to find passion, connection, and purpose in your life.

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

I provide compassionate and competent therapy for Californians healing from past trauma, and its impact on parenting and other relationships. Early life attachments and childhood trauma impact present relationships, and many times people may not fully see it. Partners cannot see how their original family and its dysfunction might be complicating communication and daily life in the present. This is especially true with trauma from addiction or mental illness in childhood or earlier life. Let me support you either individually or as a couple to find new ways to connect and/or parent now.

When nothing you try is working and life just isn't getting any better, my horses and I can help. Your session will start with increasing awareness of your body and emotions through a series of mental exercises and physical movements. When we have identified the day's concern, we will move to the barn. You will be introduced to one of our well-trained horses and you will be taught the skills needed to make improvements in your life. This could include anything from standing and talking next to the horse all the way to interacting with the horse in a small arena.
