Great to meet you!
Hello and welcome! I'm a California LPCC and LMFT. I'm currently in northern California and specialize in trauma. I'm EMDR trained and IFS informed and those are my primary approaches to addressing trauma.

Hello and welcome! I'm a California LPCC and LMFT. I'm currently in northern California and specialize in trauma. I'm EMDR trained and IFS informed and those are my primary approaches to addressing trauma.
The cornerstones of my approach to therapy are compassion and acceptance. I want to meet you where you're at and create a therapeutic relationship based on your strengths. I consider you the expert of you, so I want to listen more then anything else.
My first priority is making sure you feel comfortable and safe to express yourself freely. I want to understand your strengths and your experiences as much possible. I want to establish goals for what you're hoping to gain from the therapy process. I'm committed to my client's safety so I will also always make sure to check in on any potential risk factors you are facing. If I'm a good fit for what you are looking for in a therapist, I want you to leave our first meeting feeling better and looking forward to our next session.
