“Therapy with me is grounded in deep empathy, creativity, curiosity, and a belief that meaningful change happens through safe, collaborative relationships. My goal is to help clients build insight, develop effective coping strategies, and move toward meaningful, values-aligned change.”

“You thought sex was supposed to bring you closer, but lately, it feels like a source of tension, not connection. You’ve tried to talk about it, fix it (podcasts, books, blogs etc), even ignore it; but nothing seems to help. Maybe desire has faded, or you never really felt comfortable talking about sex to begin with. Trauma, your own or what was passed down, lives in your body, your relationships, your responses. You're tired of feeling broken, disconnected, or “too much.” You want to feel safe in your skin, express your needs, and connect without fear. You don’t want to give up. Something has to change, and you're ready!”

“I offer therapy in English and Spanish and can incorporate faith if you would like it to be part of our work. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Reach out to share what’s bringing you to therapy and what you hope might change.”

“I integrate somatic modalities into all my sessions. I work with nontraditional therapy hours which start at 90 minutes and can go up to 10 hours or more to really get into the deep nervous system healing. I believe that every client needs a different approach to access and create safety for their nervous system so no cookie cutter approaches here, just attunement and meeting you where you are.”

“In sessions I use EMDR, expressive therapies like sand tray and art, and inner child work to help you process what words alone can't always reach. Sessions are creative and active, not just talk. I'll gently challenge you to face what you've been avoiding, and we'll work through it together using whatever combination of approaches fits where you are.”

“I explain the plan, the rationale, and what we’ll track. We will set goals together and adjust based on results and what matters to you. A whole-person focus will be maintained where we focus on medical, psychiatric, and practical lifestyle factors. I serve individuals and families across the lifespan, drawing on experience in primary care, geriatrics, mental health, hospice, and palliative care.”

“I utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) to really emphasize that all parts of you are welcome. I help my clients to get to know all of these parts, even the ones that bring up the most shame and judgment, and to see these parts as good, protective, and adaptive.”

“I pull from psychodynamic, Cognitive behavioral therapy, and client-centered theories, as well as others. In session, our first focus is how to make daily life easier with tool and skill building, followed by a deeper exploration of how that distress began and working towards long term flexible stability.”

“1. Discover the Origin • Unpack your upbringing. See exactly how your childhood shapes the way you relate to yourself, your work, and your relationships today. 2. Recognize Survival Patterns • Honor your past adaptations. Acknowledge the ways you learned to protect yourself as a child. • Cultivate deep internal safety. Build the internal security you need to break destructive cycles and prove to yourself that it is safe to do things differently. 3. Mourn the Past • Grieve what was missing. Give yourself permission to mourn the unconditional love, attunement, validation, and support you deserved but didn’t receive. • Connect with your inner child. Learn how to show up for that younger part of yourself so you can navigate life as your most mature, healed self—instead of letting your past wounds run the show. 4. Break the Habits • Evolve past survival mode. Shift away from behaviors that keep you trapped in old, undesirable patterns. • Reconnect with your authentic self, reclaim your inherent self-worth, and make value-aligned choices to build a life you love.”

“My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and body-centered. I integrate talk therapy with somatic (body-based) approaches”

“I believe therapy should feel collaborative, personalized, and grounded in genuine connection. My style is warm, approachable, and flexible, balancing empathy, thoughtful challenge, and humor. I tailor therapy to each client's unique goals and experiences. When working with couples, I begin with a joint intake followed by an individual session with each partner to understand their histories and relationship dynamics. We then strengthen communication and emotional connection before tackling more vulnerable topics. From there, therapy adapts to your goals, whether that's healing after infidelity, navigating mismatched sex drives, or rebuilding intimacy after a life transition. With individual clients, I spend the first few sessions exploring your personal history and current life to understand the roots of your concerns while also building coping skills so you feel supported from the start. As therapy progresses, I adapt my approach to your needs, blending insight with practical strategies for lasting change.”
