Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist | Attachment-Based Trauma & EMDR Therapy for Children and Adults

Providing online therapy in Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, NorCal

In the mental health field for seven years, which means I’ve seen a lot, learned a lot, and still genuinely love this work
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a background in psychology (and a lifelong curiosity about why we are the way we are)
Associate’s degree from Saddleback College
Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Applied Psychology from UC Santa Barbara
Master’s degree from Pepperdine University
Fell in love early on with working with kids, teens, adults, and families
Now specialize in attachment-based and trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR, for people whose nervous systems are doing the most
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and yes, sometimes silly, because trauma work is hard and you’re allowed to laugh while healing
Proudly LGBTQ+ affirming and big on creating a space where you can show up exactly as you are

Pronouns: she/her

Chasing the Sunshine & Adventure:I love traveling, exploring new places, and finding different adventures to dive into.
A Total Kid at Heart: You can frequently find me wandering around Disneyland, getting nerdy with arts and crafts, or building a new Lego set.
My Core Circle: Family time, hosting game nights, and close friendships mean everything to me. I deeply value the people in my life and love making memories with them.
Proud Auntie Life: While I don't have kids of my own, being a hands-on auntie is one of my favorite roles (and gives me a deep appreciation for the parents I work with!).
Fur Mom: My home is kept lively and full of love by my dog and cat, who are a huge part of my daily routine.
How I Unwind: To balance out the deep emotional work of therapy, I love listening to music, checking out a new fitness class, playing video games, laughing at good comedy, being a couch potato, or keeping up with reality TV.

I recently got to hang out with the team over at Intecore to talk about EMDR and trauma getting stuck in the body. I love chatting with other local pros about how our minds and bodies work together.

You might have seen my colleague and I around HB! I recently set up a spot at the Wellness Event to make mini bouquet of dried flowers and say hi to fellow neighbors. Self care activities are a must!
