I believe the human spirit is incredibly resilient and we all have the innate capacity to heal--I don't view mental health struggles as a sign of defect or "disorder," but rather a signal of unmet basic needs for love, attention, acceptance, and compassion.
I am passionate about helping people heal from pregnancy and infant loss, grief, anxiety, relationship issues , and PTSD. My approach is is to work collaboratively with you in building a happier life by helping you make positive changes, increasing your self-awareness, and unlocking those barriers that have come between you and your goals
I am an online EMDR therapist that specializes in treating complex PTSD for California residents. I'll be asking you what symptoms are bothering you today and find out where they come from - and treat the root of the problem! You and I will create a plan together and I'll explain why I'm choosing the interventions I'm choosing so you can understand your treatment.
I also treat trauma that is driving substance use and I encourage attendance community support groups in between sessions (i.e. Celebrate Recovery, 12 Step, SMART Recovery, etc).

I have one goal: to get you feeling better and moving forward with your life as quickly as possible. We will discuss what that means for you, and formulate a comprehensive treatment plan highlighting your goals together. Therapy is a collaborative process, you are the expert on you, and I will always defer to you.
Our group practice of psychologists is accepting new patients as of 2/6/24 for in-person (Encinitas & Carlsbad) or virtual therapy! Therapy with me looks like a caring, practical, and sincere relationship. I work with people throughout the lifespan (children through adulthood) in individual, couples, and group therapy, and also with psychological testing. If you are having difficulty managing emotions that used to be easy or you want to better understand destructive patterns in life, give me a call.

I approach all people with the fundamental belief that 'we do better when we know better'. I tailor my client's treatment to their unique knowledge base and needs, scaffolding psychological, emotional, and behavioral growth so that you may be your best, breaking free from the limitations of old behaviors and beliefs.
Life is full of messy tensions. People who are supposed to be the safest let us down. The things we know are good for us can be the most difficult to follow through. At one moment, we feel paralyzed by inaction, and in the next, we can be flooded by thoughts. Sorting through these tensions alone can be scary, frustrating, and exhausting. My goal to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment to disentangle the complex narrative of your life and find your unique way of thriving. I provide exclusively online therapy in the state of California.
