Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Los Alamitos, CA covered by Cigna

I work with adults who are ready to engage deeply in their healing and personal evolution. Many of my clients have spent much of their lives in caregiving roles: parents, adult children caring for aging family members, partners, healthcare professionals, teachers, therapists, or those who naturally take on the role of “the strong one.” While meaningful, these roles can also lead to overwhelm, burnout, and a pattern of overfunctioning that leaves little room for your own needs.

You may have already experienced therapy and are now seeking something more integrative; an approach that moves beyond coping into clarity, embodiment, and empowerment. Often, my clients come in recognizing that they’ve been conditioned to prioritize others, and are ready to explore the patterns, beliefs, and internal narratives that have shaped that way of being.

In our work together, you are met with compassion as we uncover these patterns and begin the process of reconnecting you with your own needs, values, and inner authority. This is not about becoming someone new, but about returning to yourself.

I provide psychotherapy using a personalized, trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic practices, nervous system regulation, shadow work, ecotherapy, transpersonal hypnotherapy, guided meditation, breathwork, reflective writing, and ritual-based practices.

This is a space where your growth, healing, and wholeness are honored...a journey of uncovery, discovery, and love.

My home base is North Carolina. I serve clients in NC, NJ, VA, FL and CA.
