ABOUT ME
As a licensed psychotherapist practicing since 2006 and dually licensed in both California and Nevada, I offer a unique and integrative approach to healing. Originally trained in psychodynamic therapy, my work has evolved into a transpersonal framework that thoughtfully integrates mind, body, and spirit.
My areas of expertise include addictive behaviors, attachment wounds, existential concerns, mood disorders, and a strong emphasis on trauma-informed care. I work with adults, families, and specialty populations, including First Responders and active-duty military personnel as well as retired service members and veterans.
In my practice, I utilize a range of innovative and evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Performance Psychology, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy (HCH). While traditional talk therapy remains a cornerstone of my work, I believe that an integrative approach allows for deeper access to healing that is both meaningful and lasting.
Within our sessions, we may explore states of relaxed and expanded consciousness, fostering an environment that honors self-determination and the intrinsic wisdom held within the subconscious mind. The connection between emotional and mental well-being is undeniable—how the body feels directly impacts our emotional experience. Emotions are inherently physical, and we are often unaware of how stress and trauma are stored within the body.
Because trauma is fundamentally rooted in nervous system dysregulation, healing requires more than cognitive insight alone. It becomes an essential process of restoring balance, regulation, and safety within the nervous system—allowing the trauma response to be gently and effectively disrupted.
I am here to support you on your journey of emergence, transformation, and evolution, and I look forward to working with you.
