I enjoy showing you your own divine potential as fully loving and successful beings. I will gently but directly encourage you to identify themes and patterns in your life that are no longer working for you. By gaining awareness you can explore new ways of being, thinking, and behaving. You’ll be able to reach and maintain the fulfilling life that you want and deserve to have. I will help you make peace with your past, gain insight, cultivate your inner strength, and overcome your challenges in dealing with daily stressors, childhood traumas, relationship issues, or emotional exhaustion. Together we can turn your wounds into wisdom.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? Are you struggling with how to "return to normal" since 2020? I specialize in trauma informed therapy for adults, adolescents and families. Trauma-informed care recognizes the effects of trauma on behavior, emotions & physical well-being, while prioritizing a safe therapeutic environment. I have extensive experience with CPTSD, PTSD, medical trauma, chronic pain and phobias. I aim to understand the unique needs of each person, while emphasizing empowerment and personal choice. Living with my own health challenges has helped to shape my understanding and approach.

Hello! I'm currently offering video sessions for clients in California, Colorado, and Florida. Doing sessions via a secure and confidential website means you can have therapy from anywhere. I absolutely love my job as a therapist and enjoy being able to help others reach a high level of satisfaction in their careers and personal relationships. My approach is mostly collaborative-I believe in tailoring treatment plans for each individual with their input. My training started in medical family therapy and I have a strong background in treating anxiety, depression, addictions, and eating disorders.

Stress can be caused by many things: change, relationships, work, health, or trauma, to name a few. However it develops, it can take its toll on you physically and emotionally when not managed. I will help you cope with the emotional, physical, and social challenges of handling everyday stress, healing from a traumatic event, living with a medical condition (e.g., chronic pain/headaches, illness), or adjusting to a loved one's illness. I know people are resilient, and I will work with you to keep stress a manageable part of your life, instead of your entire identity.

I have worked with clients in English/Spanish helping adults with co-occurring disorders, at-risk youth, children, adolescents and veterans, with exposure to trauma, neglect, abuse, and parents with parenting issues. Working with these clients early on in my career motivated me to help those who cannot help themselves. Working as a therapist is a rewarding experience as well as a privilege to be invited into another person's life. I find that in joining clients on their journey to make changes and overcome the difficulties in their lives it enables them to discover their best self.

Waitlist for new clients
Life changing events, a traumatic past, interpersonal conflicts, ongoing feelings, such as anxiety, grief, depression and guilt all motivate people to seek therapy. Therapy works best where a trusting relationship is developed. Experience, compassion, respect, honesty, deep listening ; and when appropriate, humor, are traits I bring to the therapeutic relationship. I support my clients to explore ways to express and manage challenging feelings, people or circumstances. Finding safety with curiosity and compassion and validation for the self, we work toward individual and relationship growth.

Would you like to be your authentic Self? I offer a holistic approach to therapy where we can integrate different kinds of expressive arts therapies to help uncover underlying issues at your pace instead of just treating the surface symptoms. Together we'll explore internal stressors, attachment styles and trauma to help alleviate emotional pain, expand consciousness, access inner wisdom and awaken your creativity. I enjoy doing inner child work, parts work, shadow work, and being a support to those going through any sort of life transitions such as grief and loss, aging, menopause, acculturation, empty nesters & transitional youth

I believe we all have a deep longing and capacity to be whole and connected to ourselves and others. NeuroScientists have validated this biological need for healthy connections as well as social researchers like Dr Brene Brown who are normalizing this desire in all of us to know and be known. My training goes beyond traditional talk therapy and encompasses Somatic and Neuroscientific practice that enables people to get to the root of their disconnection so that they can feel more alive and connected to themselves. Through the practice of integrating the mind, body, and spirit we become more whole and connected.

I always felt like I didn't get the memo on how to “do” life. As a nonbinary, Trans person from the Midwest who transitioned in their 40's, I've spent the better part of my adult life unlearning and resolving harmful messages and beliefs. You may think, "Do I need to be trans to have a trans therapist?" The answer is no. The benefit is that I come from a judgment free position, and a lot of varied life experiences. What you can expect is a safe, authentic, and sometimes silly space (with pop culture references) where we collaborate to find real relief, and solutions unique to you, and peace that lasts a lifetime.
