EMDR Certified, IFS informed therapist

In my years of practice, I have seen a consistent, quiet pattern among the most successful people: a profound sense of being internally untethered. You are a master at managing your professional world, yet the emotional vulnerability required for deep connection feels like a liability to your safety. I understand the weight of relational over-performance; the exhausting habit of being the "steady one" for everyone else while feeling you have to remain perfect to be valued.

My approach shifted when I realized that for high-performers, standard "venting" therapy isn't enough. I moved away from just managing symptoms to focusing on root-cause healing in attachment. I discovered that by using specialized tools like EMDR and IFS-informed therapy, we could address the survival strategies that make intimacy feel like a risk in all areas of your life, helping you move from a state of constant "doing" to a state of secure being.

Now, I help my clients transition from the exhausting loop of hyper-vigilance to a state of secure, anchored presence. I’ve seen them trade the fear of being seen for the freedom of being truly known, finding a sense of internal peace that finally matches their external achievements. Success no longer has to feel like a performance; it can be the foundation for a life where you are fully present, steady, and whole in every relationship you hold.

I am committed to helping you find your way home to yourself. I provide high-level telehealth throughout California, using an evidence-based approach to resolve the underlying relational patterns that keep you feeling "stuck" . We don't just talk about your history; we process the root cause of your relational experiences so you can build a future that feels authentic and secure.
