Providing in person EMDR & Talk Therapy in Carlsbad, CA as well as virtual therapy throughout the state of California.
Seeking support is a sign of strength.
Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, lost or depleted?
​
Acknowledging that things aren’t working out the way you want them to, is really powerful. It means that you are seeking something different and better for yourself.
​
Recognizing that you don't have to figure it all out alone is the first step toward meaningful and lasting change.
​
On that note, I'm so glad you are here!

Talk Therapy
My approach to healing combines client-centered, cognitive behavioral, attachment science, and trauma informed models of therapy. My varied training,
tools, skills, and experience allow me to to tailor my therapeutic approach to what feels most helpful to each individual client.
I consider my clients to be the experts of their life stories.
My role is to provide guidance and support while empowering clients to connect to their inner strength and resiliency. Through this process we are able to get to the root of their challenges and work through them.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR is a heavily researched, evidence based model of therapy. It is an effective treatment for helping clients overcome symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD.
EMDR is a structured therapy that utilizes bilateral movement to help clients reprocess traumatic memories. Through this process clients often experience a significant reduction in the vividness and emotional response to their traumatic life events.
