Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unlike yourself lately?

You may find yourself feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge - struggling with sleep, intrusive thoughts, or a sense that something just isn’t right. Even if you’ve tried to move forward, it can feel like your past continues to shape how you feel and respond in the present. These experiences are often rooted in earlier life experiences, not personal failure. Therapy with me can help you understand these patterns, process what you’ve been carrying, and begin to feel more grounded, clear, and in control of your life.

CBT

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapy that has been shown to be effective in research studies for anxiety and depression. The client learns skills to change and challenge unhealthy thinking patterns and behaviors  to achieve lasting improvement in mood, functioning and sense of well-being.

EMDR

Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a mental health treatment technique. It can reduce symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression. It increases emotional regulation while decreasing the emotional distress to triggers, thus enabling healing to occur.

Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and other stress disorders. This is a treatment modality that improves a person's ability to increase their tolerance for distressing bodily sensations and suppressed emotions.

IFS

Internal family systems helps you understand the different parts of yourself, including your inner child, and how they influence your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through this process, you can begin to heal past experiences and feel more grounded in the present.

Licensed Therapist | EMDR-Certified | 15+ Years Experience

I’m a licensed therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals navigate emotional challenges and life transitions. My practice is focused exclusively on working with adults - particularly those healing from the lasting effects of childhood trauma, anxiety, and PTSD.

I provide trauma-focused therapy in Sherman Oaks and Encino, California, and offer telehealth therapy for clients across California. Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand. My role is to help you make sense of those patterns by identifying and processing the root experiences where they began - often earlier in life - and begin to shift them in a way that feels safe and sustainable.

I am certified through the EMDR Institute and integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), along with somatic and body-based techniques to support nervous system regulation and deeper trauma processing. This allows us to go beyond traditional talk therapy and work at a deeper level,  addressing both the mind and body in the healing process. As we work through these underlying experiences, clients often notice improvements in self-worth, emotional clarity, and their ability to feel more grounded and at ease in their day-to-day lives.
