You’ve done the work. So why do you still feel stuck?
EMDR and holistic therapy for adults seeking deeper change
In person in Los Angeles
Telehealth throughout CA, WA and AL
You've read the books. You've done the therapy. You've spent time understanding your patterns and where they come from. You've reflected, processed, and gained insight into yourself.
And yet, some patterns remain. You may find yourself reacting in ways you wish you didn't, feeling disconnected from parts of yourself, or carrying emotions and experiences that feel difficult to move through.
You’re tired of understanding not leading to change.
As a person who has experienced this myself, I get it. It’s a big part of why I’m here to help you find a new way out of the cycle.
It’s not your fault that you can’t figure it out
Change doesn't always happen simply because we understand ourselves better. Many of our patterns were learned very early in life. Over time and through repeated experiences, they became deeply wired into our brains and nervous systems. They became the lens through which we interpret the world.
In order to change that lens, we need new experiences that teach our brains and nervous systems something different. As your brain and nervous system take in these new experiences, old stories begin to lose their grip. They no longer override the present, leaving room for new possibilities.
A different way forward is possible
Creating a life that fits you looks like…
Trusting yourself and your choices more deeply
Responding rather than reacting when emotions arise
Feeling calmer and more grounded in day-to-day life
Setting boundaries without the weight of guilt
Feeling more connected to your needs, values, and sense of self
Feeling less controlled by the past
You don’t have to become a different person to experience these changes. This work is about meeting you where you are and creating space for your most authentic self to emerge.
Here’s a bit about me and how I work……
I love doing deep work, but I don't believe therapy has to feel stiff or intimidating. Some sessions are profound. Some are surprisingly funny. My goal is to create a space where you can show up exactly as you are, whether that's with polished insight or pajamas and a nervous system that's had enough.
I’m curious, reflective, and interactive. I’ll meet you where you are while also helping guide the process, offering support, perspective, and gentle challenges when they’re needed.
I've seen people experience remarkable shifts through EMDR, somatic therapy, and parts work. Being with someone as they begin to reconnect with themselves after feeling stuck or disconnected is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. I’m honored to be part of your journey.
