Taking the first step toward therapy requires immense courage. Whether you are navigating the heavy pieces of trauma, working through substance use, or trying to manage chronic stress, you don’t have to carry the intensity of your story all by yourself anymore. I provide a grounded, steady, and entirely judgment-free virtual space where you can let your guard down, process your experiences, and just breathe.
I specialize in providing virtual therapy for individual adults in California and Oklahoma. Many of my clients are high-achievers, natural caregivers, or first responders—the individuals who are so used to taking care of everyone else that they often mask their own pain. To the outside world, you might appear completely fine, highly capable, and controlled. But internally, the intensity of what you carry leaves you feeling exhausted, anxious, or profoundly stuck. If you are tired of pretending or managing the heavy pieces by yourself, I am here to partner with you.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LAADC), my approach to healing is active, collaborative, and forward-moving. We won’t just sit and talk about the past—we will use practical, highly effective therapeutic tools to help you break stuck patterns and find relief.
My practice relies heavily on:
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): To help your brain naturally process and heal from unresolved trauma, disturbing memories, and chronic anxiety.
Cognitive Restructuring: To help you identify, challenge, and change the deeply ingrained, negative thought patterns that keep you feeling trapped or self-critical.
Solution-Focused Therapy: To focus on your strengths and construct concrete, actionable steps so you can achieve measurable stability in your daily life.
My commitment to this work is deeply personal. Having walked my own path of recovery, I know firsthand the courage it takes to confront painful patterns, face trauma, and choose a different way of living. I understand the fear of taking that first step, the hard work it takes to stay the course, and the profound relief that comes when you finally begin to heal.
My personal experience doesn’t mean your journey will look exactly like mine—your story is entirely your own. But it does mean that I come to our sessions with deep empathy, zero judgment, and a lived understanding of what is at stake. I don't just teach these tools; I know they work because they saved my own life. I am honored to offer you the same steady, unwavering support that helped me find my way back to solid ground.
