Great to meet you!

Are you carrying the weight of childhood loss or trauma, while trying to make sense of your relationships, emotions, or ongoing stress? I specialize in attachment, trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, parent-child relationships, and infertility. I primarily support adults who want to understand relational patterns, feel more emotionally steady, and move toward healing. I also work with people facing acute or chronic workplace or family stress. I am a licensed LMFT in California, Oregon, and Virginia with a doctorate in human services and 24 years of experience.

My approach to therapy

Our sessions are a safe, open, and structured space where you can share your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I listen with care, offer thoughtful guidance, and meet you where you are. Together, we create a pace that feels supportive, respectful, and right for you.

What you can expect from me

You can develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships, build emotional resilience, and feel more confident navigating stress and change. My goal is to help you feel less stuck, reconnect with hope, and take meaningful steps toward healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
