Great to meet you!

With 50 years of clinical experience, I specialize in trauma recovery, including work with survivors of sexual assault and abuse, as well as grief, family crisis, and the moments when life stops making sense. All of my sessions are conducted via Telehealth, so our work together is private, accessible, and on your terms. I am licensed in California and Utah and have deep experience in protective and court-involved contexts. If you are ready to be heard and to begin moving forward, I would be glad to take that journey with you.

My approach to therapy

I work with you weekly because consistency is where healing takes root. I have particular experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and abuse, and I understand that this kind of healing requires both safety and patience. Between sessions, I often offer gentle practices to help you reconnect with yourself and bring awareness to the experiences that may be holding you back. I draw on Trauma Focused CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused approaches, adapting the tools to what fits your particular path. You are not expected to arrive with all the answers. You are only expected to show up, and we build from there.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation, not an exam. I will listen without judgment, ask a few gentle questions, and get a clear picture of what has been weighing on you. From there we build a path forward together, week by week, often with brief practices between sessions so you can track your own progress. Many clients notice real, measurable shifts in how they feel and how they experience the world within just a few weeks. You should leave our first call feeling heard and a little less alone.
