A grounded approach to healing and growth
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Pacific Grove, California. My work is centered around helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-understanding. I provide a supportive space where you can explore what’s been holding you back and begin to move toward meaningful change.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, an approach that recognizes how stress, adversity, and life experiences can shape the nervous system, emotions, and behavior. I draw from evidence-based practices including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help clients build emotional regulation skills, integrate past experiences, and develop a more balanced sense of self.

My Story
Each person’s path toward healing looks a little different. My own journey as a therapist has been shaped by years of working alongside individuals navigating trauma, stress, and life transitions. Over time, I’ve come to deeply value the courage it takes to seek help, the relief that comes from being understood, and the quiet strength that emerges when we begin to heal.

I founded my private practice in Pacific Grove in 2016 to create a space that feels grounded, compassionate, and practical—a place where you can slow down, make sense of your experiences, and find clarity about your next steps. It’s a privilege to walk alongside each person who invites me into their healing journey, and I approach that role with deep respect and gratitude.
