live your life purposefully.
down-to-earth virtual therapy
to help you feel less anxious,
explore yourself more deeply,
+ heal from painful experiences
serving folks in los angeles + throughout california
You’re worthy of not feeling like this anymore.
Maybe it’s the negative self-talk you were taught in childhood. Maybe it’s that people-pleaser side coming out. Maybe it’s your partner wearing you down. Maybe you just don’t feel like yourself anymore. Whatever it is, you deserve to not feel like that anymore. Therapy can help you get there.
my goal is to help you heal while finding clarity and creating
meaningful and sustainable change.
My clients come to me because they’re overwhelmed with their past painful experiences getting in the way of feeling connected to themselves or others. They’re tired of the same unhealthy patterns, in relationships and in their own lives, but aren’t sure how to break the cycle. They want to feel empowered to set boundaries and listen to their own needs, but have been taught that that’s selfish. They experience anxiety or shame more than they’d like to. To top it all off, as high-achievers and hard workers, their self-worth is usually based on how productive they are.
I work with clients to build (or re-build) their sense of self, whatever that looks like for them. Together, we examine patterns and influences from the past that are creeping up in the present and holding them back from the future they want. We explore the thoughts, feelings, fears, expectations, and goals that exist below the surface and then figure out, together, how to handle them. We strengthen the connection between mind and body to nurture the stories their bodies are trying to tell them. In therapy, we share space and work together to help clients explore who they are and what they need so they can feel empowered to live their lives fully and authentically.
does any of this sound familiar?
you’ve had painful experiences that make you question your sense of self
you feel like you’re always “too much” or “not enough” and find yourself unable to block out that critical
inner voice
you’re used to having it all figured out but don’t know where to turn next in your life
you hold yourself to a high standard that is starting to feel impossible to reach
you struggle in relationships because of old habits that keep getting in the way
you want to change patterns that you know aren’t helping you anymore, but don’t
know how
you have trouble saying “yes” to yourself (and “no” to others)
you’re afraid that your loved ones will leave you if you do anything wrong
you want to find effective ways to deal with the weight of all the things going on in your life and in the world
Feeling lost, stuck, or disconnected from who you are sucks. It can feel like you’re moving in circles without going anywhere. TOGETHER, WE WILL
break the cycles that are keeping you stuck
+ help you discover a new way forward.

I utilize Brainspotting, EMDR, CBT, parts work, values-based work, and mindfulness techniques to help clients achieve profound healing and meaningful change.
