About Me

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in North County San Diego, specializing in EMDR, somatic therapy, eco-therapy, and yoga-based healing practices. My therapeutic approach is holistic, person-centered, and deeply grounded in relational healing — integrating both evidence-based care and the natural wisdom of the body.

I carry a deep respect for the practice of k’é, the Navajo value of connectedness and relationship, which continues to guide the way I hold space for clients. With over 10 years of experience in yoga, sound healing, and nervous system-based work, I support clients in reconnecting with themselves through trauma-informed, heart-centered care.

Professional Background

My approach integrates evidence-based modalities with holistic practices that honor the wisdom of the body and the healing power of connection. With over a thousand hours of specialized training and experience working with hundreds of clients, I've developed expertise in helping individuals move through:

  • Somatic (body-based) approaches
  • Anxiety
  • Depression and mood fluctuations
  • Trauma and PTSD
  • Relational challenges
  • Addiction recovery
  • Life transitions and identity exploration

Philosophy & Approach

I believe that healing happens in relationship—to ourselves, to others, and to the world around us. My role is not to "fix" you, but to create a safe container where you can reconnect with your innate capacity for growth and resilience. In our work together, I emphasize:

  • Body-mind connection
  • Nervous system regulation
  • Cultural awareness and sensitivity
  • Empowerment and agency
  • Compassionate self-awareness
  • Integration of past experiences

Education & Credentials

  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #153924)
  • Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology
  • EMDR Therapy Certification
  • Trauma-Informed Yoga Certification
  • Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
  • Internal Family Systems Training

Personal Life

Outside the therapy space, I find grounding in warm waters, sunshine, and time spent with my dogs or hiking through California’s beautiful trails. I also love to travel — exploring landscapes, cultures, and moments that inspire healing and curiosity.

Healing is not linear. It’s a journey of returning — to your body, your truth, and your inner wisdom. I’m here to walk with you in that process.

Our Vision

To foster a community where healing, self-awareness, and empowerment become part of everyday life.

Our Mission

To provide compassionate and effective therapy, guiding individuals towards healing and a more connected version of themselves.
