Are you feeling stuck? I provide trauma-informed individual therapy for adults in California who are struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, attachment wounds, and the complex effects of past and recent trauma and toxic stress. With warmth and understanding, I will help you work through life's challenges and guide you toward healing. Whether focusing on gaining tools to help you cope with everyday stressors, uncovering and healing the roots of your symptoms, fostering insight, achieving personal growth through enhancing somatic awareness, I customize treatment to meet your unique needs.
