If you feel like you’re carrying more than you show, constantly overthinking, over-giving, or replaying patterns you can’t quite shake, you’re not alone, and therapy doesn’t have to feel like another to-do on your list. I work with people in Fresno and across California who are exhausted, stuck, or quietly anxious about how to feel more in control of their lives, relationships, and sense of self. My clients are often navigating anxiety, painful life experiences, grief, relationship struggles, or parenting challenges, and many have lived through foster care, adoption, or disrupted family systems.

In our work together, you’ll find a space where you can slow down, notice what’s happening in your body and mind, and explore how your past experiences show up in the present patterns without shame or pressure to “fix” yourself.

I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT), California Registration #138218, and I’m trauma-informed and EMDR-trained. I combine insight, relational connection, and body-based awareness to help you untangle repeated patterns without judgment or pressure to “fix” yourself overnight.

I work deeply with teens, young adults, women, parents/caregivers, and couples who are willing to reflect, ask questions, and explore both the emotional and relational dimensions of their challenges. Together, we address emotional overwhelm, anxiety and trauma responses, communication breakdowns, and the guilt or shame that comes from setting boundaries or putting your needs first. Whether you’re processing complex trauma, navigating ADHD, working through grief, or rebuilding relationships after loss or disruption, you don’t have to have it all figured out before we start.

Change tends to happen when you feel safe to slow down, get curious about your inner world, and experiment with new ways of relating to yourself and others. My role is to hold a steady, compassionate presence, guide trauma-informed EMDR work, and support you in noticing patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and reclaiming self-trust. I use attachment-based therapy that honors the way early relationships shape current patterns, and somatic work that helps your body release what talking alone can’t reach.

Clients often leave feeling lighter, more attuned to themselves, and more confident navigating relationships without over-extending or shutting down. You’ll gain clarity, emotional resilience, and a sense of connection, to your own inner voice and the people who matter most.
