LPCC, 15 years of experience
New to Grow
Welcome, I'm so glad you're here. I am a California based holistic psychotherapist providing intentional, accessible teletherapy across the state. My practice is founded on a simple belief: lasting change is absolutely possible when we create space for it. I primarily specialize in supporting adults who are navigating transitions and life challenges, helping them manage anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. My approach blends professional clinical insight with a holistic focus, treating your symptoms while empowering you to connect with your innate strengths and core values. With warmth and clear guidance, I’m here to support your growth, helping you move from feeling stuck to living a life that feels truly purposeful and grounded. My training in a variety of therapeutic techniques allows me to provide tailored support to clients with diverse backgrounds, ages, and needs. I frequently integrate methods from several modalities to create an effective and personalized approach. I bring over 15 years of experience to my practice having past employment in community based mental health, school counseling, and leadership positions.
During our first session together we will spend the majority of our time talking about how you've been feeling and what you hope to get out of therapy. As a part of treatment planning, I work with clients to identify problems while working toward achievable outcomes. Ready to feel more in control and build a different future? Let's connect!
Clients tell me that I bring a thoughtful balance of patience and honest guidance. I aim to create a serene, supportive space where you feel safe to explore, while offering clear, compassionate tools to help you move forward.
Through flexible, virtual sessions, I offer an approach that is rooted in helping you reconnect with your core values and supporting you in building a life that feels aligned, grounded, and fulfilling. Clinically, I focus on supporting individuals through: Anxiety and Depression: Addressing symptoms and the lingering effects of past experiences that create blocks in your daily life. Identity and Meaning: Helping you identify patterns, build insight, and reconnect with your authentic self.Together, we'll implement evidence-based tools to support your healing, emotional regulation, and long-term growth. If you’re ready for therapy that is personal, flexible, and deeply intentional, you’re in the right place.
CBT is a goal-oriented therapy that helps people understand the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The core idea is that by changing negative thought patterns and behaviors, a person can change how they feel. Therapists teach clients practical skills to identify and challenge irrational thoughts and replace them with more balanced, realistic ones.
DBT is a modified form of CBT specifically developed to help people regulate intense emotions and manage self-destructive behaviors. It's built on a balance of two concepts: acceptance and change. Clients learn skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach that focuses on the connection between the mind and the body to promote healing from trauma and stress. The core principle is that emotional and psychological issues, especially those stemming from trauma, are stored in the body. This approach helps to regulate the nervous system and restore a sense of safety and calm.
Solution-focused therapy is a brief, collaborative, and goal-oriented approach that focuses on a client's strengths and resources rather than their problems. The therapist and client work together to identify the client's desired future and then build on existing successes and abilities to achieve it. This approach assumes clients have the inner resources to solve their problems and emphasizes creating solutions over analyzing the cause of the problem.
