If you notice that painful experiences from your past are interfering with the way you interact with your partner, creating patterns of reactivity, communication breakdowns, or displaced trust, you’re not alone. I work primarily with couples in Fresno and across California who are willing to work on the relationship even when they’re uncertain it can be healed.

I also work with individuals and families who are ready to understand themselves more clearly, feel steadier and less reactive, and move forward with greater confidence. My clients often struggle with communication issues, boundary fears, trust challenges, and the weight of past trauma showing up in present relationships. They’re looking for a therapist who will help them see patterns clearly and build new ways of relating to themselves and others.

In our work together, you’ll find a space where you can explore your reality, challenge beliefs that no longer serve you, and find understanding. I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), California License #19185, and I’m a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), Certified Trauma Instructor (CTI), and EMDR-trained. I believe people seek understanding to heal, and sometimes that understanding needs to be of themselves first.

My role is bright, fresh, thoughtful, curious, and collaborative to help you reach your desired position in life. Our history is sometimes like a library that has been turned upside down. Therapy is going to help you put the books away so that you no longer trip over them.

I work deeply with couples, individuals, families, and veterans and military families. Together, we address confidence, communication, transparency, boundary fears, and self-compassion. Whether you’re working through trauma and PTSD, relational conflicts, emotional distress, or faith-based questions, I help you understand patterns, build steadier responses, and appreciate all of who you are.

I specialize in helping couples notice how painful life experiences and trauma reactivity affects their relationship and build healthier ways of connecting. You don’t have to have it all figured out before we start.

My approach is warm, direct, grounded, curious, relational, calm, bold, and creative. I’m collaborative, adaptive, and responsive in the moment, adjusting depth and structure as needed because therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.

As a Christian, I’m available to integrate faith into therapy for clients who desire spiritual support. However, I meet every client with care, consideration, and respect for their unique beliefs and backgrounds, whether they share my faith tradition, practice a different faith, or prefer secular counseling. Your therapy is guided by your needs and preferences. Love is the foundation of how I show up, creating a space where you feel truly seen and heard.

What I consistently help people move toward is seeing themselves and appreciating all of it, no longer stumbling over the things of their past. You’ll have the authority to pick up what’s weighing you down and put it away, choosing the memories and patterns you want to keep. You’ll feel more aligned, confident, steadier, calmer, and less reactive as you move forward.
