Great to meet you!

I hold space for individuals, couples, and families to grow into the versions of themselves that are anchored in self trust, adaptable to life's shifts, and empowered to author their own stories. When intrusive thoughts, physical restlessness, or underlying dread take hold, it can feel like being swept into a repetitive cycle of self doubt and preoccupation. It is a pattern that steals your energy, pulling you away from the present moment and weakening your self trust.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me bridges brain, body, and relationships to resolve deeply rooted emotional patterns. Drawing from EMDR and somatic approaches, we work to calm physical tension and process experiences that keep you feeling stuck. Because every nervous system is unique, I adapt EMDR using a wide range of bilateral stimulation such as traditional visual tracking to music, art, self tapping, and body movement. Alongside this, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) provides concrete tools to unhook from intrusive thoughts, while Nonviolent Communication guides you to cultivate a compassionate internal dialogue and foster clearer, healthier connections with those around you.

While my practice is primarily virtual across California, I also offer a flexible hybrid model for established clients. Once we build a strong foundation online, we can integrate walk-and-talk sessions. I provide these outdoor and community based sessions across Sacramento, Folsom, Roseville, and El Dorado Hills as well as periodic visits to Orange County.

What you can expect from me

I am here to sit with you and explore beyond surface level talk. Healing isn't about becoming someone new, it's about returning to the steady, empowered version of yourself. Head over to my website to schedule a phone consultation, and let's begin reclaiming your peace and stepping back into your life!
