About Me
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and EMDR-Certified clinician offering trauma-informed, holistic care for teens and adults. My work supports individuals navigating anxiety, complex trauma, specific phobias (including choking or vomiting-related fears), chronic stress, and somatic symptoms. I integrate EMDR, somatic and attachment-based therapies, and parts work to support nervous system regulation and mind-body healing. I offer weekly EMDR sessions, adjunct EMDR for clients working with another therapist, and EMDR intensives. Sessions are available in person in Redondo Beach, CA and virtually throughout California.
