Specializations
As a mindful trauma therapist, I deeply value the unique and diverse experiences of each of my clients. I believe that honoring every individual's background and journey is integral to the healing process. While I treat a diversity of presentations and issue-areas, I have recieved specialized training in providing therapy to the following populations:
Therapy for Healthcare Professionals and Therapists
As caregivers and healers, psychotherapists and healthcare professionals dedicate their lives to supporting others through their most challenging times. However, in the midst of providing care and holding space for their clients' trauma, it is easy for these professionals to neglect their own well-being. This is why seeking counseling is not just important but crucial for therapists and healthcare professionals.
I understand the unique challenges therapists may face when seeking their own therapy. Finding the right therapist fit can be especially difficult when you're accustomed to being in the role of the helper. It's essential to find a safe space where you can set aside your professional identity and allow yourself to be vulnerable, heard, and supported.

Therapy for Sexual Health, sexual Trauma, Body Image, + Embodiment
Sometimes the body doesn’t feel like a safe place to be. This can happen to individuals who have experienced shame, harm, or trauma related to their bodies, gender, and/or sexuality.
Through a blend of empathy, trauma-focused care, and evidence-based techniques such as EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing therapy and Mindfulness Based practices, I create a safe space for healing, empowering clients to navigate their experiences, reclaim their sense of self, learn to sense their limits and boundaries, and cultivate healthier relationships with their bodies and intimacy in general.

Therapy for Complex, Developmental, + Attachment Trauma
Unlike singular traumatic events, complex trauma involves prolonged exposure to stressors, often occurring in interpersonal relationships during critical developmental stages. This can profoundly impact one's sense of self, relationships, and ability to regulate emotions.
I support clients through the intricate journey of healing complex trauma. Utilizing a powerful combination of EMDR therapy, Somatic Experiencing therapy, and Mindfulness practices, we collaboratively create a safe and nurturing space for profound transformation to take place. Each session is thoughtfully crafted to honor the unique experiences and identities of my clients, guiding them towards deep healing and empowerment.
If you are seeking healing for complex, attachment or developmental trauma in California, I invite you to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation.
Therapy for Anxiety, Mood + Emotional Regulation
Are you grappling with heightened stress, anxiety, worry, and panic? You may have been coping with anxiety effectively on your own for some time, but find that the strategies and resources that worked before the pandemic are no longer effective. Alternatively, you might be encountering anxiety and/or panic for the first time, feeling agitated, alarmed, and powerless. It could be challenging to catch your breath, quiet your mind, or regulate your emotions.
I recognize how tough living on a rollercoaster of anxiety and emotional dysregulation can be. I use advanced methods like EMDR Therapy, Somatic Experiencing Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based therapy to help clients tackle mood regulation head-on. My goal is to not only offer you comprehensive support in session, but also knowledge and skills that you can take with you into your daily life.
If you are looking to begin therapy for anxiety and emotional regulation and live in California, I invite you to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation.
Therapy for Generational Trauma, Culture + Identity
Sometimes the stories of your past relatives can impact the way you function in your daily life. While a connection to ancestors is vital, sometimes the wounds that they sustained in life can be transmitted through your family system and become internalized as facts. You might notice a generational influence on your identity, the beliefs you hold about what you can and cannot accomplish, or even their impact your overall sense of safety and belonging.
Generational trauma is a profound and complex phenomenon that impacts families across time. It refers to the transmission of trauma from one generation to the next, often manifesting in patterns of behavior, belief systems, and emotional challenges. Acknowledging and addressing generational trauma is a crucial step towards healing, as it allows you to explore the roots of suffering and make intentional choices towards breaking the cycle. By engaging in this process with compassion and courage, you can reclaim your stories, cultivate resilience, and foster profound transformation for yourself and future generations.
If you’re feeling ready to break the cycle of generational trauma and cultivate a sense of healing in your lineage, please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation session.
