Certified EMDR Therapist · Mission Viejo, CA
Freedom for you begins today
Compassionate, EMDR-focused therapy for individual adults — helping you move through trauma, anxiety, and life’s hardest seasons with steadiness and hope.
A welcoming word
Therapy that meets you where you are
Reaching out for help is a brave first step. My practice is built on the belief that every person carries a story worth listening to — and that with the right support, healing is not only possible, it’s the natural next chapter.
For over two decades I’ve walked alongside clients navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, and relationship wounds. Together, we’ll create a calm, honest space where you can breathe, think clearly, and begin choosing what comes next. My office is in Mission Viejo, and I see adults from across South Orange County.

Therapeutic approaches
Evidence-based, deeply human
EMDR is the core of my practice. I pair it with other proven modalities so the work fits you, not the other way around.
Primary focus
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for trauma and stuck memories.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shift the thought patterns that shape how you feel.
Family Systems
Understanding how your family shaped you — and how to author what comes next.

A tailored blend, because no two people heal in exactly the same way.
