Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #90258
Certified Comprehensive Resource Model Practitioner

I hold a belief that every individual I come across holds within themself the power to heal. My role is to help those individuals access their power when they feel they have none. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and anxiety disorders and I am passionate about bringing a sense of hope and empowerment to the individuals I serve. My hope is that individuals will learn to embrace their power, learn to be at ease in their own skin and find loving and fulfilling connection to others; bringing them closer to their personal healing and, ultimately, to the life they dream of living.

​

I have worked with trauma, anxiety and addictive disorders since 2005. I am trained and certified in the Comprehensive Resource Model which is intended for the treatment of PTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder and related disorders. I also offer Deep Brain Reorienting, which focuses on healing the shock at the root of traumatic experiences. Through the use of resourcing that creates internal brain-body safety, the most painful memories can be reprocessed and stepped into fully in order to build a healthy and integrative connection to self, which opens the individual to embrace their truest self and personal power and become confident in their ability to move forward in life.

​

I can't wait to begin our journey towards wellness together!

It's an honor to facilitate exploration of consciousness. To make space and room to really sink into what the mind and body is communicating. And to provide a way to explore that however you choose. I personally offer trauma processing and self-exploration with somatic-based psychotherapy, The Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM), and art therapy. In fact, I believe trauma and overwhelm can drive a lot of suffering regardless of the diagnosis. So I aim to target the pain driving the behaviors you want to change; let's heal the wound, not redirect the symptom. Sessions are 60 minutes to offer more spaciousness.

​

I also believe we as humans heal through relationships: relationships with ourselves and others. As we heal our relationship with ourselves, we can see our relationships with others simultaneously affected. I provide an attachment-based lens to help inform the source of the pain and layers of defense responses arising in our relationships. We explore defense structures both gently and directly, so there is space to access depth without feeling pressured.

​

I received my undergraduate degree from UCSB in Cell and Developmental Biology, and my graduate degree from Phillips Graduate University in Psychology. I welcome all questions about the therapeutic process and am happy to provide education about the science of what we're doing (as well as letting know you know what I don't know). A deeper understanding of the process can make it so much easier to integrate session material into the rest of your life. Let's bravely explore consciousness together!
