Therapist

Virtual • California


As a trauma-informed therapist, I specialize in supporting adults and teens who are struggling with overcoming stress, anxiety, burnout, depression, and past trauma, by finding tools and solutions towards becoming the best version of themselves. I tend to use a variety of client-centered approaches, such as Solution-Focused, EMDR, IFS, and CBT to support you with identifying and processing your past and how it impacts your present. Through self-compassion and reflective work, I help clients reconnect with their inner strength and reclaim their stories. Together, we work toward healing that honors your identity, resilience, and truth.
