Great to meet you!

I’ve helped people work through trauma, burnout, ADHD, Bipolar mood concerns, Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and others, in ways that honor their pace and their story. Our work together is grounded in honesty, humor, and compassion.

As a therapist in Fresno and online in CA, I help people whose minds and bodies are tired of being on high alert. You might notice every possible threat around you, feel constantly on edge, or struggle to relax even in moments that should feel safe. You may carry guilt or shame from the ways you react when overwhelmed.

As therapy continues, you begin to notice small but real shifts. The mornings feel a bit lighter. You catch yourself laughing without effort. You start to sleep better. You find it easier to connect with family or friends, to be present, to breathe. These small moments build into something bigger

— a sense of belonging in your own life again.

My approach to therapy

I focus on using a combination of techniques guided by your knowledge of yourself and your needs.

Utilizing a collaborative approach to therapy, we work from models such as (but not limited to), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), integrative body and mind based treatments, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and others, to help you find the best fit for your goals in therapy whether in person for counseling in Fresno, or as your counselor online in California.

What you can expect from me

From the first time we meet to the end of our work together, you can expect a holistic focus on you and what has brought you into therapy as well as, a focus on what you want to get out of therapy. There will be both warmth and directness focused on finding what you would like to see change for yourself and how we can get there. Whether it's in person therapy in Fresno, Clovis, Madera, or online therapy in California, we'll work together to see that the person you’ve been fighting so hard to find has been there all along

— underneath the overwhelm, beneath the guilt, still waiting to come up for air.
