Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor at Coastal Therapy & Wellness
Helping adults and professionals find real relief from today’s stresses in a safe, steady space, while uncovering deeper patterns for lasting growth and healing. I work with adults 18 and older, including professionals carrying career pressures and real-life demands, as well as individuals and families moving through difficult life transitions and emotional challenges. I see clients online throughout California. Heal deeply. Live fully.
Lasting change grows from a safe place to face what feels messy or heavy.
Working through today’s stresses brings practical relief that ripples outward, building steadier skills, clearer insight, and the grounded strength to meet future challenges with more ease, confidence, and emotional maturity.
I’m drawn to this work because I believe in people’s capacity to grow through life’s complicated, messy chapters. I enjoy supporting people as they find current relief, make sense of life-long patterns, and move toward more hopeful, capable versions of themselves.
In a collaborative space that feels safe and steady, we balance practical tools for current stresses, like emotional regulation strategies for professional or everyday pressures, with gentle exploration of deeper patterns. I draw on experienced, compassionate use of EMDR and trauma-informed work, along with attachment-informed techniques, CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based support. Sessions adapt naturally: sometimes focused and skill-building, sometimes more open and reflective, always centered on what brings relief and real growth right now.
Your therapy experience during this season in your life will be an investment into your capacity to manage future seasons and whatever those seasons bring into your life.
A warm, steady presence rooted in mature competence that helps professionals feel quickly safe and understood, whether tackling day-to-day pressures or deeper roots. Clients often leave with immediate relief plus the kind of insight and skills that build lasting capacity, hope, and a steadier way forward.
I work with clients online throughout California.
My clients usually want relief from today’s pressures, and a clearer understanding of the patterns underneath them.
My approach is collaborative, steady, and grounded in EMDR and trauma-informed work, blended with attachment-informed techniques, CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based support. Some sessions focus on practical tools for what’s happening right now, others go deeper into long-standing patterns. Usually it’s both.
The goal is real relief today, and the steadier skills and insight to meet whatever comes next with more ease and confidence.
Reaching out can feel like the hardest step, but you don't have to navigate it alone. You'll first connect with our Client Care Coordinator, who will answer your questions, learn more about what you're looking for, and help determine whether I'm the right fit. They'll then help you schedule your first appointment or a consultation call if you'd like to connect first.
Our first sessions are about understanding you, not rushing to solutions. We'll explore what's been feeling difficult, what you hope will feel different, and begin creating a plan tailored to your goals, strengths, and unique experiences. There is no one size fits all approach.
As therapy progresses, we'll continue adapting our work to meet your needs. Some sessions may focus on practical tools, while others involve deeper work through approaches like EMDR or exploring long standing patterns. I also regularly check in to make sure therapy feels helpful, meaningful, and aligned with your goals.
Adults 18 and older, including professionals carrying career pressures and real-life demands, as well as individuals and families moving through difficult life transitions and emotional challenges.
Finding the right therapist matters. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative. During our first conversation, we'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, what relief or change you're hoping for, and whether working together feels like the right fit.
Our first session is about understanding where you are right now, whether that's a specific stress, a relationship pattern, or something rooted further back, and starting to build a plan around what brings you relief and growth.
Most clients start with weekly sessions, especially early on. As we build relief and clarity together, we'll check in and adjust the frequency to match where you're at.
I'm currently virtual only, seeing clients online throughout California.
I'm an out-of-network provider. If your insurance plan includes out-of-network mental health benefits, I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurer for possible reimbursement.
It balances practical relief for what's happening today with deeper work on the patterns underneath it. Sessions adapt to what you need in the moment, sometimes focused and skill-building, sometimes more open and reflective.
Starting therapy can feel like a big decision, but you don't have to navigate it alone. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for meaningful change, I invite you to reach out and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
