Choosing the Right Kind of Therapy
Reaching out for therapy often begins with one simple question: Where do I start? You may know something feels off (anxiety that won't settle, relationships that feel strained, or a sense of being disconnected from yourself) but you may not yet know what kind of support would help most.
My therapy services are designed to meet you where you are, offering trauma-informed, body-aware, and relational care for adults, teens, and children who have experienced trauma. Whether you’re seeking individual support, help with your relationship, or therapy for your family, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and grounded.
I offer in-person therapy in Mission Viejo and surrounding South Orange County communities, as well as online therapy throughout California.

My Therapeutic Approach
My work is grounded in trauma-informed care and draws from:
- Somatic therapy to support nervous system regulation
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore inner parts with compassion
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for insight, skill-building, and cognitive clarity
Rather than focusing on labels or quick fixes, therapy here centers on safety, curiosity, and sustainable change.
