My clients often come to me with deep FEARS of being judged, quiet HOPES to finally be happy, and painful BELIEFS that they are not enough. These aren’t just passing thoughts — they’re deeply ingrained messages, shaped by trauma, rejection & experiences where fear was high and support was scarce. But I believe — truly — that at the core of every human being is JOY. A radiant gem we all carry but that often gets buried under layers of pain, shame, fear, and judgment. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about excavating what’s always been there and reclaiming it..

Whether you’re struggling with painful beliefs about urself or unwanted behaviors, like overeating, isolating or staying in painful relationships, our work focuses on healing what’s underneath. Together, we’ll gently uncover the roots, using trauma-informed methods like EMDR to release what no longer belongs and make space for your joy to resurface.

I’m an LGBTQ+ affirming telehealth therapist licensed in CA and AZ. I work with people who are tired of carrying the weight of others’ misdeeds — and ready to rip off the silence, the shame, and the story that was never theirs. Together, we reclaim what was lost, name what was denied & build a life that finally fits.
