Specialties
Lately do you find yourself wondering, "This is it? This is the goalpost I was racing toward?"
You've always pondered life deeply and felt sure of yourself and your path, but now you may find yourself asking what the meaning of it all might be, and that question leaves you feeling a little lonely. Maybe you’ve always been the one who keeps it together, the one others go to for everything. People trust you, you're thoughtful, self-aware, and effortlessly composed. But maybe the usual ways of “figuring it out” just don’t seem to feel natural or sustainable anymore.
Our work together is a space to learn to enjoy the fruits of your labor, stop moving the goalpost, and differentiate between people and places where you actually feel seen and understood.
Approach
My therapy style is compassionate, warm, and non-judgmental. I focus less on one technique, and rather integrate multiple approaches to best meet the needs of my clients as individuals.
Sometimes, even when we understand our past, it still lives in our body, showing up as anxiety, self-doubt, or patterns we can’t seem to break. EMDR helps your brain and body reprocess difficult experiences so they no longer hold the same emotional weight. Together, we will work to help your nervous system release what’s stuck, and ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, or trauma, so you can move forward with more ease and feel like yourself again.
About Me
Located in North County, San Diego, in the coastal village of Del Mar, my practice supports folks in navigating life transitions with clarity and confidence. You'll find my cozy office decorated exclusively secondhand, and I can promise that I'll always want to hear about your latest thrift finds, music you're resonating with, and upcoming travels. Who you are as a person, and what you value, matters in working together to find the most tailored strategies to bring the peace and relief that you deserve.
Clients describe me as calming, safe, passionate about our work together, and easy to talk to. Sometimes we will navigate strongly emotional processes together, and sometimes we might laugh so hard that they can hear us down the hall. I'm deeply honored to be a therapist.
I earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Development from UC Davis, and a Master of Arts in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego. I completed my training at UC San Diego Family Medicine, in which I worked on patient care teams with talented primary care physicians and psychiatrists to address a wide range of behavioral health concerns. I have experience leading group therapy at the residential, PHP, and IOP levels, specializing in co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
I offer EMDR for adults. Both in-person and telehealth sessions available.
