What you are feeling is a deeply human experience and you do not have to carry it by yourself.

I’m an Folsom-based trauma-informed collaborative therapist who specializes in working with teens (age 15+), young adults and adults who are in pain, and need assistance with processing deep emotions to return to their authentic selves.

In my private practice, I bring 15 years of mental health experience to offer you care that is deeply human, authentic, and free of judgment. Outside of therapy, I practice what I teach, leaning into mindfulness to stay grounded and balanced.

I am a collaborative therapist who pulls from a variety of theoretical perspectives including, Internal Family Systems, Dialectical Behavior therapy, Narrative therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral therapy and Psychodynamic theory.
