Great to meet you!

I offer individual psychotherapy for adults healing from trauma, and working to

have a different relationship with others, themselves, their bodies, and food.

Located in Sacramento, California, I offer a combination of individual and group

sessions in addition to telehealth throughout California. My work is person-

centered, grounded in warmth, curiosity, and respect for everyone’s unique

story. Whether you are navigating eating disorder recovery, body image distress,

trauma, or identity exploration, therapy can be a place to gently make sense of

what feels overwhelming.

As a trauma-informed and trauma-trained therapist, I believe healing happens

not only through insight, but through felt experience. Together, I will support

you in learning how safety, connection, and regulation can live in the body again.

I specialize in working with adults and queer individuals navigating trauma,

eating disorder recovery, and body image distress.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where each individual feels seen, heard, and affirmed without judgment. As an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist, I welcome diverse identities, relationship structures, and lived experiences. I believe therapy works best when it feels

authentic and human. We are all sharing in this human experience and the therapy space is a great place to practice authenticity.

What you can expect from me

I offer an introductory phone call, and the first session is an opportunity to discuss what brought you into treatment and what you hope to get out of working together. My goal is to create a warm and comfortable environment where you feel safe to share your story, explore your treatment goals, and work together to identify the treatment path that will work best for you.
