My mission is to shake
things up and redefine what it
means to go to therapy

It really is and I love that you’re here. It’s a space that’s literally all about YOU. I want you to feel understood, seen, and valued when we work together. During this process you get the opportunity to really understand yourself, your patterns, gain insight, navigate trauma, create change, find acceptance, and grow. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re a seasoned-pro, you’re totally welcome here.

In our sessions, it’s all about your story, your journey, and your process. Life throws all kinds of experiences our way - some amazing, some awful, and plenty in-between. I'm all about empowering you to not only acknowledge but also embrace your unique story and experiences. That doesn't mean loving every part of it, but rather finding acceptance and moving forward by moving through it.

You can expect that chatting with me will feel casual and relatable, while still remaining professional. Subjectively speaking, I might even be considered funny sometimes. Ultimately, I am here to help empower you, cheer you on, and support you along the way.

Everything is connected. Brainspotting is a brain-based therapy that works by using both the brain and the body. During brainspotting, we are able to access an area of the brain that we cannot access during traditional talk-therapy. Essentially what that means is, we cannot talk our way out of what we need to release through the body. Our brains are super amazing but when we experience something traumatic, it can overwhelm our brain’s ability to cope and process, resulting in pieces of the unprocessed experiences frozen in time and space. Just as amazing though, your brain can also heal. By keeping your gaze on a specific external eye position, you can maintain focus on a specific internal spot where trauma has been stored, and from there, deeply and mindfully process to release what the brain and body have been holding onto.

I integrate a lot of Brainspotting with many of my clients, and let me tell you - it's been a game-changer. Ultimately, because brainspotting accesses a deeper part of the brain (subcoritcal), it then takes us less time to get to the core issue and has the ability to heal faster than what talk therapy can provide. Some people choose to brainspot more often, while others mix it up with regular talk-therapy sessions. What's cool is the flexibility—it's all about finding what works best for you. We can use it as much or as little as feels right for you.

If you're an associate social worker in California looking for clinical supervision, I might just be your girl! I offer both individual and triadic supervision and am all about supporting you on your growth to becoming an LCSW. We'll help you with refining your clinical skills, tackling ethical dilemmas, crisis intervention, and more. It's a safe space where we collaborate on cases, find your authentic therapy style, and navigate the twists and turns of licensure.
