About Me

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally disconnected? You’re not alone and healing is possible. I specialize in helping individuals and couples recover from trauma through EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a proven, evidence-based approach for processing painful experiences and restoring emotional well-being. I provide a safe, compassionate space where you can begin to release the past and build lasting resilience. Whether you've experienced a single traumatic event or ongoing emotional stress, taking the first step toward support is an act of courage and I’m here to walk that path with you.

Education & Experience

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology. My clinical experience includes working with adults, teens, and families in diverse settings from private practice to community mental health. I specialize in helping clients navigate trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges using evidence-based approaches like EMDR therapy, mindfulness, and strengths-based interventions. My goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care that supports emotional healing, personal growth, and long-term resilience.

Professional & Volunteer Affiliations

I am affiliated with the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT) and the EMDR International Association (EMDRIA).
