Who i serve
You may be self-aware and have past experience in therapy, yet still experience cycles, patterns, or mood states you want to shift—emotional overwhelm, shutdown, depression, anxiety, triggers, or painful relationship cycles. You want more than coping skills, CBT, and "talk therapy"—you want to go deeper, connect to your nervous system, and understand and rewire old patterns to feel more grounded in yourself. I help individuals and couples make sense of their internal dynamics, nervous system states, and patterns of relating in order to access a more grounded, connected, and self-led life.
I help adults working through trauma, childhood attachment wounds, mood dysregulation, grief, and relationship issues. Using EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and somatic mindfulness, we explore how your mind and body hold the stress of past experiences so you can shift long-standing patterns and build greater awareness, self-compassion, and regulation.
My style is creative, open-minded, neuro-affirming, and compassionate. We move at the pace of trust so that all parts of you have a place to be witnessed and understood. Together we stay curious about what arises in your mind-body as we work toward increased connection. If this approach resonates with you, reach out to see if we might be a good fit!
1:1 and Couples
Psychotherapy
A safe, supportive weekly space for ongoing therapeutic work and long-term growth utilizing modalities such as EMDR and IFS. The ideal choice if you want to pursue deep inner work and see change in yourself and your life over a period of time. Our work is collaborative and paced to your nervous system.
Psychotherapy includes the treatment of mental health disorders and may include trauma processing. 50-minute sessions may be covered by insurance or private pay. 90-minute weekly sessions are also available by private pay. Available online to residents of California and Colorado under the purvue of my licenses.
Who it’s for
Weekly 50-minute sessions are best for clients who:
Want consistent, supportive space to explore thoughts, feelings, and life challenges
Are ready to gradually work through patterns, emotions, and memories at a safe, sustainable pace
Value ongoing guidance and reflection as they integrate insights into everyday life
How we work together
I primarily use EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), alongside polyvagal-informed and somatic mindfulness practices. In plain terms, that means:
We pay attention not just to thoughts, but to emotions, body sensations, and nervous system responses
We work with the different “parts” of you with curiosity and compassion, rather than trying to eliminate or override them
We focus on creating enough safety and regulation before moving into deeper trauma or attachment work
wHat a session might include
Checking in on your week and identifying what feels most important to focus on
Gently exploring thoughts, emotions, patterns, and “parts” using IFS, EMDR, and somatic awareness
Grounding, regulation, and reflection to help insights carry into daily life
Gradual and incremental exploration and integration week by week
Healing is not about becoming someone new — it’s about returning to yourself.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (CA, CO)
I love working with anyone who is interested in digging deep, seeking lasting healing rather than band-aid coping strategies, and transforming their lives.
I am willing and able to support you as you work to create a more manageable life and cope with any symptoms that may impact your nervous system load and capacity. However, my favorite work, and the work for which I am best equipped, goes deeper than symptoms management and short-term solutions. Instead, with compassion and curiosity, we can take a closer look at your inner world. We can uncover the origin stories behind various symptoms and coping strategies you have developed over the course of your life. We can befriend your body, your mind, and your nervous system and learn the deep well of histories they carry. We can lighten the load that you shoulder and rewire the patterns that have been driving your life, right from the root of where those patterns began in your personal history or ancestry. It is not a quick fix - it is a transformation.
