INDIVIDUALS

Something in you already knows that healing is possible. The patterns holding you back, the weight you carry, the ways you shrink, spiral, or shut down are not who you are. They are adaptations. Ingenious, once necessary, and now ready to be met with something deeper than understanding alone.

Individual therapy with me is an integrative, body-centered journey that supports healing at the level where it is held; in the nervous system, the body, and the subconscious mind. We work with what lives beneath language, with what trauma has fragmented, with the places in the body that hold what the mind has not yet been able to process. We slow down, listen inward, and follow what emerges with mindfulness, precision, and compassionate inquiry.

Woven throughout is an understanding of attachment: how we were loved, how we learned to protect ourselves, and how those early blueprints continue to shape who we become. This is depth work. It is also, ultimately, a homecoming.

COUPLES

Relationships are one of the most profound arenas of growth available to us and one of the most activating. The person we love most has an uncanny ability to reach the tenderest, most unresolved places within us, not because something is broken, but because intimacy is, by its very nature, an attachment experience.

Couples work with me attends to what is happening beneath the surface of conflict- the nervous system states, the attachment histories, and the unconscious patterns constantly communicating between two people, often without either partner realizing it. We work in real time, tracking the body, the breath, the micro-moments of connection and disconnection, learning to meet one another with greater presence, attunement, and care.

The foundation of this work is the cultivation of a secure-functioning relationship, one grounded in fairness, mutual sensitivity, and genuine collaboration, while also building the capacity for conscious engagement, emotional regulation, and nervous system synchrony between partners.

 

Whether you are navigating disconnection, deepening intimacy, or restructuring your relationship entirely, I welcome all couples with compassion, skilled attention, and deep respect for the complexity of loving another human being.

 
BRAINSPOTTING CONSULTATION

As a Certified Brainspotting Consultant, I will guide you through the certification process, supporting you with the required hours of individual consultation while helping you grow in confidence, clinical precision, and your own embodiment of Brainspotting principles. Our work is a space to bring your cases, explore your questions, examine your growth edges, and deepen your attunement as a Brainspotting practitioner.

 

Post completion of Phases 1 and 2, along with one advanced training, I will support your experience, review your documented Brainspotting sessions with clients, and provide the required 6 hours of individual consultation taking you to the next level of your Brainspotting journey.

 
CLINICAL SUPERVISION

Clinical supervision is a foundational part of becoming a phenomenal therapist. So much more than a checkbox, supervision is the space where clinical identity takes shape, blind spots are illuminated, and confidence as a healer deepens. Rooted in reflective practice, somatic awareness, and genuine relational attunement, supervision with me is designed to support your growth as a clinician who knows themselves well enough to truly show up for their clients.

 

As a Board Approved Clinical Supervisor for AMFTs in California, I bring the same holistic, integrative lens to supervision that I bring to all of my clinical work. My goal is to support you in finding your voice, trusting your instincts, and building a practice that is grounded, genuinely yours, and in alignment with who you are becoming.
