I specialize in helping clients uncover and address limiting beliefs using EMDR and a personalized, multi-modal approach.
My ideal client feels stuck—whether due to anxiety, depression, or unresolved trauma—and is starting to notice how negative core beliefs from their past are affecting their daily life. These beliefs, often formed in childhood, hold them back in ways they hadn’t fully realized. They want to break free from these patterns, build resilience, and live more authentically. They are ready for meaningful change and committed to working through the barriers that keep them from feeling empowered and fulfilled.

I utilize techniques from evidence based theories including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused interventions, person centered strategies, EMDR, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that are tailored to your specific needs.
Are you sad, worried, stressed or anxious? Have you experienced trauma? Are you overwhelmed as a partner, parent or caregiver? Don’t keep trying to do it alone. We’ll explore where grief and loss, parenting, or the challenges life has thrown you might be showing up in how you’re feeling. Maybe you’ve moved from a different state or country and are trying to cope with the Southern California way of life. I understand that adjustment, and how hard it can be to adapt to new expectations and getting comfortable with a different language because I’ve done it myself.

In our work together, we will utilize a mix of evidenced-based modalities, such as CBT, DBT, IFS and EMDR, to increase mind-body connection and alleviate distressing feelings, thoughts and sensations.
First of all, I am so glad you are here! I recognize the incredible courage it requires to take the first step and reach out to a therapist. Life can feel overwhelming, complicated, confusing …. But there is hope. You deserve a space to feel seen, accepted, and understood. While there are times in life where you may’ve had to shrink away from emotional or physical pain or fear, I believe healing comes from reconnecting with those places in our body, mind and heart that hold pain. The parts of us that are wounded need attention and love to heal. I will empower you to access the resources you have within yourself.

EMDR Therapists
Who is EMDR for?
EMDR was initially developed as a treatment for individuals with Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), for whom memories of a deeply distressing experience can be inadvertently triggered by random everyday events. The procedure has since been applied in the treatment of many other conditions. For example, it is used by some therapists to treat anxiety disorders including panic and phobias, depression, dissociative disorders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and some personality disorders. It is suitable for adolescents and adults.
Why do people need EMDR?
People need EMDR as a way to manage distressing memories that in some way hamper the ability to function in the present. The procedure is believed to target the way memories are stored in the brain. Evidence indicates that past disturbing experiences cause ongoing distress because they were not adequately processed, and when such memories are triggered in the present, they are accompanied by all the emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations as the initial experience.
What problems does EMDR treat?
First and foremost, EMDR is intended as a treatment for PTSD, to defuse distressing memories that intrude on and impair everyday functioning. It is also often used to help those who are subject to panic attacks, phobias, and other forms of anxiety. In addition, EMDR has been used to treat individuals with depression, eating disorders, and personality disorders.
What happens in EMDR therapy?
First the therapist takes an individual’s history, and then the therapist and client decide which distressing experience(s) will be the target(s) of the exercise, delivered via a side-to-side visual stimulus requiring lateral eye movements. The client will be asked to activate thoughts, feelings, and any body sensations related to the troubling experience. The eye movements are said to reduce the emotional charge of the memory, so that the experience can then be safely discussed with the therapist and digested, minimizing its ability to trigger anxiety.
