EMDRIA Certified Therapist™

Online Therapy

About Me

I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, and major life transitions using EMDR therapy integrated with somatic therapy, parts work (IFS-informed), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Many of my clients are millennial women navigating experiences such as divorce or breakups, relationship trauma, career transitions, grief and loss, infertility, or the transition to parenthood. They often come to therapy feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break despite years of insight.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that healing involves more than simply talking about the past. Through EMDR, we work to process painful experiences at their root so they no longer carry the same emotional weight, allowing clients to move forward with greater confidence, self-compassion, and resilience.

I offer both virtual therapy throughout California and in-person sessions from my office in Calabasas.

Education & Experience

I earned my Master of Social Work from California State University, Long Beach. Before opening my private practice, I worked in community mental health, providing individual therapy, group therapy, and case management to adults throughout Los Angeles County experiencing complex trauma, severe mental illness, substance use concerns, housing instability, and reentry following incarceration.

My experience also includes facilitating grief support groups for children and adolescents through Our House Grief Support Center and volunteering as a crisis counselor with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist through EMDRIA and also hold certifications in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Somatic Psychotherapy. My work is further informed by attachment theory, parts work (IFS-informed), mindfulness, and nervous system regulation, allowing me to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs.
