Therapist

Virtual • Idyllwild-Pine Cove, CA


Most of us aren't born knowing how to navigate relationships, understand our emotions, or process trauma. Many things influence how we react and behave, but that doesn't mean we can't grow. My goal is to help you build confidence through discovering your self-worth and practicing self-compassion. My priority is creating a safe, judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable. I show up as my authentic self to build trust with you. I'm an empathetic listener and communicate in a calm, gentle, respectful way. My job isn't to tell you what to do, but to help you process and explore topics to build self-awareness and confidence.

You may find yourself repeating the same patterns, feeling overwhelmed by emotions, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts to make a change. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, substance use, or the lasting effects of trauma, you don't have to navigate these challenges alone. I provide compassionate, trauma-informed therapy focused on helping you understand the deeper roots of your struggles, develop healthier ways of coping, and break free from patterns that no longer serve you. I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to be yourself, understood without judgment, and supported as a whole person rather than defined by your symptoms or past experiences. My goal is to help you build a stronger relationship with yourself, find greater balance in your life, and create meaningful, lasting change. You don't have to stay stuck in the same cycles or figure everything out on your own. If you're ready to better understand yourself and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life, I'd be glad to help you get started.
