You’ve probably done a lot to keep things going—managing work, relationships, family, and everything else life throws at you. On the outside, it might look like you’re holding it all together. But inside, it feels like something’s not quite right. Maybe you’re anxious, overwhelmed, burned out, or just disconnected from yourself. You may not have the words for it yet—but you know something needs to change. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I specialize in working with adults who are high-functioning on the surface but silently struggling underneath. My clients are often caretakers, overthinkers, and perfectionists who carry a lot of shame, self-doubt, or old wounds they’ve never been given the space to process. Many of them don’t realize how much pain they’ve been holding for years—until they finally slow down and begin to feel it. In our work together, we won’t just talk about what’s going on—we’ll explore what’s underneath it. I use EMDR, parts work, and trauma-informed care to help you untangle the beliefs, patterns, and protective strategies that are keeping you stuck. Therapy with me is honest, grounding, and deeply compassionate. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll go at a pace that feels safe and sustainable. This is a space where you don’t have to be the strong one. You don’t have to make sense of it all before you show up. You just have to be willing to start. I’d be honored to walk with you through the healing process.

Mission Viejo, CA - Accepting clients in CA

Hello and welcome to my practice. Trauma and shame keep you feeling like you should be on the sidelines instead of starring in the game. You might not know exactly how, but you know it’s because of your painful past. So many women never mention sexual abuse or other trauma because they’re ashamed of it… or they believe they should “be over it.” So, they try to “file it away” so it has minimal impact on their lives. But it never works. The pain festers, and keeping your story hidden away prevents you from living fully and authentically – with others AND yourself. Through our work together, the women I work with move from merely coping to thriving- reclaiming their power, speaking their truth with clarity, and taking up space in the world with calm, unapologetic confidence. The result is a life that feels grounded, whole, and one you are deeply connected with. It will be my profound honor to go on this healing journey with you.

Life stressors are very high for many people these days. If you are seeking emotional support and help with processing your thoughts and feelings, feel free to reach out to me. I will focus on building a connection with you to understand the reasons for your suffering and work together to help you feel better. The majority of my clinical experience in the past 20 years has been within correctional settings treating both adults and teenagers. I am a clinical psychologist with an integrative approach. I focus on the clinical relationship and draw upon existential, person-centered, solutions-focus and cognitive-behavioral theories. I will help you identify areas of suffering, including maladaptive thought patterns and current life stressors to help you improve your overall well-being. Sometimes it helps to talk to someone besides your loved ones or friends, someone who will have a more objective and professional look at your situation/problems. These days, many people are said to be more isolated, lonely and anxious due to circumstances beyond their control. I understand and want you to know that you do not have to feel alone.
