A Little About Me

I’m an EMDR therapist in Los Angeles who helps adults move past trauma, anxiety, OCD, and the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. But I’m also just a human who knows what it’s like to overthink, doubt yourself, and wonder if you’ll ever feel truly at peace. One thing my clients appreciate about me is that I’m committed to learning and growing as a therapist. I seek out advanced training so I can bring fresh tools into our work, and I adapt every session to fit your needs.

That means you can expect a space that feels safe, supportive, and also direct — where I’ll reflect your strengths back to you, call out the patterns that keep you stuck, and sometimes give you that gentle nudge toward what you’ve been avoiding — because deep down, you know you deserve the growth waiting for you there. You don’t have to show up with the perfect words or the perfect life — you just have to be human, and we’ll figure the rest out together.

Healing isn’t about changing who you are — it’s about helping your nervous system catch up to the truth: you’re safe, capable, and already enough.

Online EMDR therapy for adults across California — helping you heal from anxiety, trauma, OCD, ADHD, and perfectionism, so you can feel calmer, more confident, and at home within yourself again.

I know what it’s like to feel trapped in your mind — caught between anxious thoughts, old habits, and fear that never lets up.

When people say “trust your gut” or “be present,” it can sound impossible when your nervous system still believes danger is near.

If we’re not working with the nervous system, we’re only circling the pain.-

Real healing happens when your whole system learns the truth: you’re safe now — capable, worthy, and connected.

Together, we’ll help your mind and body work with you again — so you can move through life with calm, confidence, and a grounded sense of home within yourself.

 What Brings People to Therapy With Me

You feel beyond tired— not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.Your mind races with “what ifs”, replaying worst-case scenarios, and the constant pressure to be perfect while doubting yourself underneath. You might want to put yourself first– just once– but guilt, fear or self doubt inevitably creeps in.

Part of you still wants to believe that joy, peace, and success are possible. Another part insists it’s a lost cause and hopeless— that if things ever did get better, it would be snatched away the moment you let yourself relax. And maybe you have a moment of courage and think “Okay, I got this, I will get up early, plan my day for success, and commit to healthy routines”. But somehow, almost without noticing, you slide back into the old familiar patterns. Not because you’re weak–  but because your brain has run that “stuck program” for so long, that it feels like home.

You’re angry — angry that so much mental energy, time, and presence have been consumed by trauma, OCD spirals, ADHD overwhelm, and self-defeating thoughts. Beneath that anger, there’s grief — grief for something precious that feels stolen: the life you envisioned, the potential you once believed in, or the version of yourself you hoped to be by now but feels out of reach. Others are burnt out from trying to meet impossible standards in their careers, impossible expectations, or stuck behind a wall of self-criticism and disconnection. Many of my clients carry this quiet grief, not always realizing that what they feel isn’t failure — it’s loss. You’ve been doing your best just to survive, yet it can feel like a punishment for simply trying to keep going.

If you’ve tried therapy — even EMDR — and it didn’t seem to help, that doesn’t mean you’re beyond hope. Often, the approach wasn’t specific enough. That’s why I use specialized EMDR protocols for patterns like OCD (including relationship OCD), body image issues, perfectionism (OCPD), and more. These adaptations dive deeper than standard processing, targeting the loops that keep you stuck.

A Truth I See in You

“I feel like I have to shrink myself so I’m not ‘too much’ — while also pushing harder because I feel not enough.”

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you — because you’re not broken.
 It’s about helping you feel safe enough to be yourself — without masks or shame — and cultivating a trust in your own inner voice again.  Together, we’ll make space for the part of you that’s been waiting under all the noise — the part that wants to slow down, feel joy, and live without constantly bracing for the next blow.
