A BIT ABOUT ME

Client-Centered | EMDR Certified | Trauma-Informed

"Our relationship is the foundation for healing — and your first step is already a powerful one."

As a therapist, I deeply value the trust and connection built in the therapy room. The relationship we form will be a unique space where safety, honesty, and growth can unfold — and it will serve as the foundation for your healing journey. Clients who benefit most from my approach are motivated for change and open to the process of therapy. If you’ve made it to this page, you’re already taking the first step.

I am a client-centered therapist who uses an integrative approach tailored to each person. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Mindfulness practices, and Attachment-Focused EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). EMDR is an evidence-based therapy shown to be highly effective in treating PTSD, anxiety, and depression. You can learn more about EMDR on my Resources page.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing trauma, PTSD, panic disorder, performance anxiety, and chronic low self-esteem. I also support clients navigating confidence issues, insecurities, and overwhelming life transitions. Whether through traditional talk therapy or EMDR, I offer a space where you can begin to feel more grounded, capable, and empowered.


I have provided mental health support in a range of settings — including in-home services, schools, and community clinics. I’ve worked with children, teens, adults, parents, women experiencing Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders (PMAD), couples, and families. My background also includes work with families involved with Sonoma County Family, Youth and Children's Services, Juvenile Probation, and as a Juvenile Diversion Counselor.

In addition to private practice, I currently serve as a Clinical Supervisor at Lomi Psychotherapy Clinic, providing supervision to Trainee and Associate therapists, and facilitate groups in the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Siyan Clinical in Santa Rosa.

During challenging times, reaching out for help can feel intimidating — but it’s a courageous first step toward growth and healing. As an Associate Therapist, my approach is client-centered and relational, focused on creating a safe and encouraging space for individual growth.

I work from an attachment- and trauma-focused lens, supporting clients in exploring how past wounds may be impacting current relationships and overall well-being. Together, we’ll process feelings of depression, anxiety, and trauma, while also building self-worth and resilience in daily life.

I integrate a range of practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Somatic work, and Mindfulness-based approaches. I primarily work with teens and adults who are motivated for growth and ready to engage in meaningful change.

Feel free to reach out for a free consultation — I’d be honored to support you on your path toward healing.

FAQ

What to expect

You may have many questions, if you don't find the answers here please call or email me!

Therapy Office

HOW DOES THERAPY WORK?

Typically, therapy works best when we meet on a weekly basis, at the same time.  Because you bring your own experiences, character, personality, strengths, and needs into the room, therapy looks different for everyone.  Therapy is a collaborative process and we will develop treatment goals together that will serve as the focus of our work. My role is to help you bring what you learn in session back into your life. In order to help you implement change, I may suggest some things you can do outside of therapy to support your process.  If we decide to utilize EMDR we will use the eight-phase treatment approach outlined here.

HOW IS EMDR DIFFERENT FROM OTHER THERAPIES?

The EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) has a great answer to this question on their website (www.emdria.org).  According to EMDRIA, "EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue, or homework between sessions. EMDR, rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, allows the brain to resume its natural healing process. EMDR therapy is designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories in the brain. Part of the therapy includes alternating eye movements, sounds, or taps. For many clients, EMDR therapy can be completed in fewer sessions than other psychotherapies."

HOW LONG DOES THERAPY LAST?

This depends on the person and what they are hoping to get out of therapy.  I will meet you where you are, meaning I don’t have an agenda or a preset amount of sessions that we will work together.  Sometimes people come to therapy for a specific issue they would like help problem solving and it can be accomplished in 4-6 sessions.  Other times, people seek therapy for a longer period of time.  I have seen clients for a few sessions up to a couple years.  Additionally, you may find that you want to take a break and come back when you need it again.

WHAT IS EMDR?

Are you struggling as a result of experiencing or witnessing trauma? Do you experience chronic low self-esteem, panic attacks, or performance anxiety? Has traditional talk therapy only gotten you “so far” in your healing?  Dr. Laurel Parnell, Ph.D., founder of The Parnell Institute, explains "EMDR therapy incorporates eye movements or other bilateral stimulation into a comprehensive approach that processes and releases information trapped in the mind and body, freeing people from disturbing images and body sensations, debilitating emotions, and restrictive beliefs."  I have completed the EMDRIA approved EMDR Basic Training Parts 1-3 through the Parnell Instutue and utilize their Attachment-Focused EMDR (AF-EMDR) protocol in my work.  If you are interested in utilizing this modality in conjunction with talk therapy, please don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation to see if this approach might be a good fit.  Please click the link below to gain a better understanding  of EMDR and AF-EMDR from The Parnell Institute.
