Compassionate Care for Complex Lives
A Space to Reconnect and Reclaim
As a licensed psychologist, I specialize in working with adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD or difficult life experiences, and relationship challenges. My interpersonal approach is grounded in emotional safety, deep collaboration, and evidence-based care—including EMDR and emotionally focused therapy. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to reconnect with your inner clarity, therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and transform.
What I Treat
I work with individuals facing:
Depression and persistent sadness
Anxiety, panic, and chronic worry
PTSD or difficult life experiences
Relationship struggles and attachment wounds
Life transitions, identity shifts, and emotional burnout
High-functioning distress and perfectionism
Reprocess. Release. Reclaim.
EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, research-backed therapy for healing trauma or difficult life experiences. It helps you safely revisit painful memories, reduce emotional intensity, and restore a sense of calm and control.
I integrate EMDR with interpersonal process talk-therapy to support both deep healing and relational growth.
How Therapy Works
Therapy is a collaborative process. We’ll begin with a thorough intake, clarify your goals, and co-create a plan that honors your pace and preferences. Sessions are typically 45 minutes, offered weekly or bi-weekly, with options for in-person or virtual care.
📍 Location & Availability
I offer therapy for adults across California, with in-person sessions in Mission Viejo and secure virtual options statewide.
EMDR Intensives
If you’re ready to move through trauma or a difficult life experience with clarity and momentum, EMDR Intensives offer a powerful alternative to traditional weekly therapy. Instead of spreading sessions over months, intensives provide extended EMDR sessions—often several hours at a time—within a condensed window of days or weeks.
This immersive format allows us to go deeper, faster, and with intention. It’s ideal for clients who want to accelerate their healing, minimize interruptions, and address core issues in a safe, structured way. Together, we’ll co-create a plan that honors your goals and supports meaningful transformation.
EMDR Intensives are available for adults seeking focused care for trauma or difficult life experiences. Let’s explore if this format is right for you.

Embodied healing
What You'll Experience
- A safe space where even the most guarded clients open up
- A feeling of being truly seen—you'll notice what others miss, reflected back with warmth and precision
- Clarity in chaos—when you feel emotionally flooded, we'll map it out together
- Empowerment in relational navigation—leave with the skills and belief that you can choose differently
- Shift from feeling overwhelmed or shut down to emotional clarity and connection
- Recognize feelings you've buried—grief, longing, shame, hope—and process them safely
- Reclaim internal territory that's been off-limits
Clients often begin with the belief, “My emotions are overwhelming and dangerous.” Through our work, they gain the language to express their emotions, the tools to regulate them, and the insight to understand themselves.
What you’re really receiving: emotional permission, attunement, and depth.
That’s not just therapy. That’s transformation.
You've done the work. Now it's time for traction.
Whether you’re ready for weekly therapy or an EMDR Intensive, I’m here to walk beside you.
