I use a trauma-informed lens within my integrative approach to counseling and offer a non-judgmental and empathetic space to my clients.
I utilize Somatic Experiencing, IFS, and cognitive-behavioral approaches to support clients' growth. I believe that the body-mind-spirit connection is fundamental to the process of finding the way home to ourselves.
I support clients in gaining a better understanding of their patterns, tendencies, and needs…and possibly where these originated. I offer a place from which people can grow, create a little more peace with themselves and in their relationships.
I love working with anyone interested in bettering themselves through therapy! That may include alleviating symptoms (i.e. anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc.) OR working to meet their highest potential and live their best life.
I want to create more peace in our communities, and I believe that this starts with inner peace for each individual. This peace will then ripple out.
I offer therapy in Hillcrest and La Jolla, so you can meet me where it is more convenient for you!
I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and change and it is my life mission to support my clients through this metamorphosis. If you're curious about whether we might be a good fit, please reach out for a free 15 minute consult.
