You’re doing everything “right”—staying active, showing up for others, pushing through—but you’re still stuck in your head. You overthink everything. You’re constantly anxious, tense, and on edge. Maybe you feel like you’re always performing—for your team, your job, your family—and you’re tired of carrying it all.
I specialize in working with athletes and active adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, and people-pleasing. Together, we create a space where you can finally breathe, feel grounded, and build emotional strength to match your physical drive.
My approach combines CBT, mindfulness, somatic therapy, and solution-focused strategies through my signature T.H.R.I.V.E. Method. We’ll work together to untangle old patterns, reconnect with your body, and build clarity and confidence from the inside out.
If you’re ready to feel more present, powerful, and mentally strong, I’d be honored to support you.
I help individuals struggling with eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, grief, anxiety, and addiction. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or stuck in painful cycles around food, substances, relationships, or self-worth.
I am based in Fresno, California, and work with clients via telehealth. I work with adults who are struggling with trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, or adjustment issues using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy.
