My work focuses on helping adults understand and heal from trauma, particularly complex trauma, PTSD, childhood trauma, sexual trauma, dissociation, and attachment wounds. I am an EMDRIA Certified EMDR Therapist, and I draw from EMDR and other evidence-based approaches to trauma therapy, tailoring treatment to the person rather than expecting the person to fit a particular method.

 

I believe therapy should be a collaborative process. You deserve to understand why we are doing what we are doing and to have a voice in the direction of your treatment. Together, we can develop goals, make sense of the patterns that have developed in response to your experiences, and identify what needs to change. Sometimes that means processing traumatic memories. Sometimes it means learning to regulate your nervous system, developing healthier boundaries, understanding relationship patterns, or working with parts of yourself that have learned to protect you in ways that no longer serve you.

 

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in the understanding that healing involves the whole person. Trauma can affect our thoughts, emotions, bodies, relationships, sense of identity, and ability to feel safe—even long after the original circumstances have ended. Therapy can help those different pieces begin to make sense together.

 

I work with adults throughout California through telehealth and offer in-person therapy in Sacramento. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. We can start with where you are, develop an understanding of what brought you here, and figure out where you want to go next.
