Maybe it's hard to feel like you're enough. You've been taught by family, culture, and society your whole life that everything from your body to your place in the world is always up for critique. So now you shrink, hide parts of yourself that you've been taught to reject, and move through the world wearing a mask. You might struggle to speak up for yourself and neglect your own needs. Low self esteem, self doubt, perfectionism, impostor syndrome, people pleasing and all these harmful internalized messages you've been carrying feel like shackles you've been forced to wear, don't they? And you're ready to break free.

You're a cycle breaker, healer, care worker dreamer, activist, educator, care worker, change maker, therapist, student, intern, or good ancestor in the making. You care deeply about people and the planet, but you aren't so sure about taking care of yourself. No matter how much you do or how hard you work, you never feel like you're doing enough. You struggle to give yourself permission to rest and experience joy when there is still so much to do. You find yourself tangled up in self-sacrifice, impostor syndrome, perfectionism, hustle culture, overextending, guilt, martyrdom, and career and academic stress And you're exhausted.

With over 15 years of licensed experience providing therapy in the state of California, I have treated a diversity of clients with a wide array of struggles and strengths. We will work together to create a solid plan that meets your needs using therapeutic techniques that the research has shown will help make improvements in the shortest amount of time. To put it simply, the people I meet with for individual or couples therapy often get better in a short amount of time. The path to "better" looks different for each person/couple and I enjoy figuring that puzzle out.

Seeking therapy takes courage, especially during times when we are not at our best, whether that be due to mental health struggles, feeling burned out, or issues impacting important areas of our lives. Through regular sessions, I do my best to provide support while navigating the parts of life that feel painful, confusing, and frustrating. Together, we can work to resolve challenges, build on strengths, and provide you with insight and coping skills to help resolve trauma that continues to show up in your everyday life.

Are you feeling anxious or on edge? Are you overwhelmed because of past or recent trauma? I know how scary it can be to cope with trauma and anxiety. It can feel devastating, confusing, frustrating, and exhausting; and it impacts every part of you and your life. Together we will work to normalize how you're feeling, understand how trauma and anxiety are manifesting for you, and find ways for you to feel more grounded, empowered, and in control.

Do you struggle with managing your anxiety around others? Do you always worry about doing something that you think is embarrassing or saying the wrong thing in front of others? Maybe you feel like you don’t belong or aren’t good enough. You might feel frustrated, down on yourself, or hopeless about why things aren’t getting better. Everyone is out enjoying their lives, but you’re stuck in the same place. You’re trying your best to connect with others, but something always just gets in the way. Is social anxiety or even past trauma keeping you isolated, disconnected, and stuck? Therapy can change things for you!

It is crucial to find a therapist that is a good fit, therefore, I like to take the first few sessions to get to know each other and decide if we want to work together. My expertise is working with people who have PTSD, Complex Trauma, and/or Borderline Personality Disorder. I use acceptance and exposure based principles to help you get in touch with your emotions, in the service of living a life that is aligned with your values. I will help you face your fears by taking action steps towards what is most important to you, reducing the hold that trauma has on your life.
