My journey into this work began as a sexual assault advocate, where I witnessed the deep impact of trauma-informed care on someone’s healing. That experience led me to become a therapist, and I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of San Diego in 2021. I now integrate mindfulness and motivational interviewing in my approach—methods that support clients in slowing down, tuning into their experiences, and making change on their own terms. If you're carrying pain that feels heavy or unresolved, I’ll meet you with steadiness and care as you begin to find your way forward.
My Clients
Grief, trauma, and anxiety can make the world feel unsteady—like you’re constantly trying to find your footing while carrying an invisible weight. You might feel isolated in your pain, unsure how to move forward, or overwhelmed by emotions that don’t seem to make sense. These experiences can feel disorienting, but they don’t have to define you. I specialize in supporting individuals through the emotional impact of trauma, loss, and anxiety, helping them reconnect with their strength and sense of clarity.
