Great to meet you!

I specialize in online trauma therapy and EMDR for adults experiencing PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, relationship challenges, and difficult life transitions. My approach is trauma-informed and holistic, integrating EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, CBT, and DBT to address the connection between past experiences, emotions, relationships, and the nervous system.

Together, we work toward processing unresolved experiences, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing a greater sense of safety, balance, and connection. I also support clients navigating pregnancy, postpartum adjustment, and other significant life transitions.

I provide virtual trauma, EMDR, and somatic therapy throughout California, including Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Malibu, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Oak Park, and surrounding communities.

My approach to therapy

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the understanding that healing involves both the mind and body. I use a trauma-informed, holistic approach that integrates somatic therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and evidence-based practices to help you process difficult experiences, regulate your nervous system, and shift beliefs and patterns shaped by the past.

Therapy is tailored to where you are and what you need. Together, we’ll build greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion while exploring patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms toward meaningful, lasting change and a greater sense of safety, connection, and balance.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin creating a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, what you hope to work on, and the experiences that have shaped where you are today. We will work collaboratively to understand your goals and determine how I can best support you. You can expect a warm, supportive environment where you can begin to feel comfortable being your authentic self.
