Serving California residents through in-person & telehealth sessions.

I am currently accepting new clients.

When it feels like you’ve gone as far as you can

You’ve come a long way. Maybe you’ve gone through a few years of talk therapy. You can articulate your family dynamics, name your triggers, and understand your defense mechanisms. Still, you feel like you’re in high-functioning overdrive. This can show up as body tension, anxiety, exhaustion, and overworking.

Cognitive insight alone can only go so far. Lasting change happens when we move beneath intellectual analysis and engage the wisdom stored in the nervous system, implicit memories, and lineage. My work is to support you in going deeper to transform your world (and your relationships) from the inside out.

This space is specifically designed for self-reflective and growth-oriented clients seeking deep, transformative therapy rather than short-term symptom management.

Therapy can help build trust in yourself and lead to deeper connection with both your inner and outer worlds. It provides tools to navigate intergenerational wounds, release external pressures, and embrace the fullness of who you are – navigating the balance between living for yourself while honoring where you come from.

The most groundbreaking realization for me was that there was nothing "wrong" with me. From there, the work became one of rediscovery, rather than of fixing.

By tapping into the innate wisdom of the body, I guide clients to ease into the work from a place of curiosity. Neuroplasticity reminds us that our minds and bodies are always striving for healing. I see the therapeutic space as a vessel for what’s already happening within to rise to the surface.

I support individuals & couples on themes including:

high-functioning anxiety | intergenerational & complex trauma | 1st & 2nd gen identity | relational patterning | boundaries | ancestral & lineage healing
