I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Diego, specializing in trauma, EMDR, and somatic approaches to healing. My path to this work included over six years of graduate training and clinical experience, much of it focused on trauma-informed care with clients navigating anxiety, relational wounds, and nervous system dysregulation.
My approach blends trauma-informed, somatic, and relational frameworks to help clients get to the roots of what they’re experiencing, not just manage symptoms on the surface. I draw on EMDR to help process stuck or overwhelming memories, and I pay close attention to how stress and trauma show up in the body, not just in thought patterns.
In our first session together, you can expect a warm, low-pressure conversation focused on getting to know you and what’s brought you to therapy. We’ll talk through your history, current concerns, and what you’re hoping to get out of our work together, and I’ll share more about how I approach treatment so you can get a feel for whether it’s a good fit. There’s no pressure to share everything right away, we’ll go at a pace that feels comfortable for you. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of next steps and what our work together might look like, whether that includes EMDR, somatic techniques, or more traditional talk therapy, tailored specifically to your needs.
