Therapist
Life is a choice between two hards. It’s hard to face the parts of yourself you avoid. It’s hard to live a life shaped by past trauma. One hard keeps you stuck. The other helps you grow. Therapy provides a safe, judgment-free space to choose growth.
As a Solution-Focused therapist informed by Attachment Theory, I help you understand how past relationships shape your current ones, with yourself and others. We focus on what works, with maybe a few more jokes than necessary, because humor is an amazing coping strategy. Together, we work toward greater balance so you can become the person you want to show the world.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationships. I earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University in 2022. I spent three years at Inspired Resolutions Counseling supporting teens and families and leading a women’s trauma group. In 2025, I joined Illuminate Psychotherapy to focus on trauma-impacted clients. I also work with clients through Bonmente, which offers psychiatric and mental health care through Telehealth. I earned my license in early 2026, and now run my own private practice as a sole proprietor, seeing clients on a sliding scale.
You are not crazy, and you are not alone. Reaching out is the first step toward creating the life you deserve. It’s okay to ask for help. Be honest. Be authentic.
