If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unseen and want a steady, supportive space to better understand yourself and your relationships, you’re not alone. I work with adults in Fresno and across California who are navigating emotional overwhelm, grief and loss, repeating patterns that no longer work, boundary guilt and people-pleasing, and harsh self-talk.

Many of my clients are open to emotional exploration, collaboration, and building change through feeling understood rather than being rushed to solutions. I also work with couples, first responders, and disaster relief workers who carry the weight of trauma and need specialized support. People need to feel safe, seen, and accepted in order to heal, especially in the places where they’ve learned to hide or be hard on themselves.

In our work together, you’ll find a space where you feel genuinely seen and accepted. I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW), California Registration #114824, with a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Denver and extensive experience as a Medical Social Worker in hospice and end-of-life care. I’m EMDR-trained and actively working toward EMDR Certification, and I specialize in using EMDR for complex trauma, survivors of sexual trauma, chronic pain, and complicated grief.

Change tends to happen when people feel emotionally safe enough to slow down, be honest, and explore what’s happening beneath the surface without fear of judgment. My role is to offer a steady, attuned presence while helping you make sense of your emotions, patterns, and inner narratives, and gently challenge what no longer serves you.


I work deeply with adults navigating trauma, first responders and disaster relief workers, couples where trauma or attachment wounds are affecting the relationship, and individuals managing chronic pain or complicated grief. Together, we address emotional overwhelm and feeling stuck, grief and loss (including changes, endings, or unresolved grief), repeating patterns, boundary guilt and people-pleasing, and harsh self-talk and unhelpful thought patterns.

I specialize in helping adults with complex relational trauma, survivors of sexual trauma, and those seeking EMDR for deeper healing. Whether you’re processing trauma, strengthening your relationship as a couple, or managing chronic pain or grief, I approach therapy with curiosity, not judgment.

My approach is warm, grounded, curious, relational, and adaptive. I’m relational, emotionally attuned, and present, and I feel most in my element when therapy is fluid, adjusting depth and structure as needed. I recognize the impact of culture, identity, and systemic influences on emotional well-being and relationships.

As a woman of color, I approach therapy with sensitivity to these dynamics. I strive to create a space where you feel seen not only as an individual, but within the broader contexts that shape who you are. What I consistently help people move toward is greater self-understanding, self-compassion, and the ability to respond to their lives and relationships with more clarity, confidence, and choice.

When therapy is working, life feels less reactive and more intentional. You’ll relate to yourself and others with greater clarity, compassion, and confidence, and feel more aligned with how you want to live. You’ll feel genuinely seen and accepted. Through my hospice and end-of-life care background, I bring deep understanding of grief, loss, life transitions, and the ability to sit with pain without rushing to fix it.
