I bought this for clients to look at, but turns out I definitely look at it the most. We ALL need these reminders sometimes.
🪴You deserve to be heard
🪴Your opinions matter
🪴Your feelings are valid
🪴Your best is enough
🪴It’s ok to rest and pause
🪴It’s ok to grow at your own pace
🪴It’s ok to have moments of doubt
🪴Your Mistakes don’t define you
🪴How you speak to yourself matters.

Which one(s) do you need to remind yourself of today?

Here’s the truth:
Sometimes our nervous systems have been in survival mode for so long that rest feels unfamiliar—even threatening. Especially if you grew up in a chaotic or high-pressure environment. But remember!
🛑 You don’t have to earn your rest.
🛏️ Rest is not laziness.
🕊️ Peace is not dangerous.

🪷 In therapy, we can explore where this fear of rest comes from, how to create safety in stillness, and how to re-teach your body that rest is allowed.

You deserve a life where peace doesn’t feel like a threat. You deserve to exhale.

Welcome to my space.

This is a space for healing. A space for new insights. A space for tears of joy, sadness and anger. A space where you get to learn how to sit in your emotions, and most importantly, a space where you get to be seen and valued exactly as you are right now. Not valued once you “fix” yourself, or valued in who you try to present as. This is a space where you are valued as you are today.

So welcome. You are seen. You are valued. You matter.

I’ve introduced myself in a professional way, but now get to know me a little bit in a personal way! So hi again! 👋🏼 I was born and raised in Southern California and feel incredibly grateful to call this place home. I’ve been blessed to grow up with horses and this old man in the picture has grown up with me since I was 12, and is still my best friend today. Growing up and well into undergrad, I thought music would be my career of choice, but I found a calling in ministry instead. I got my undergraduate degree in theology and worked in youth ministry for 10 years. I found myself wishing I could do more when my students needed more support than I could give, so when Covid hit, I decided to apply to graduate school to pursue this dream of being a therapist and learning the tools to help in ways I wasn’t qualified to do so before! Getting to sit with people as they figure themselves out or walk with them through their hardest seasons is truly an honor and a blessing.

Hi friends! Welcome to my page. As a therapist, I strive to create a space where clients feel heard and where they feel safe to explore those untouched areas of shame, hurt, trauma, anxiety and more. I approach each client with kindness and compassion, while also gently encouraging growth and healing at a pace that feels right for each person. Therapy can be both a refuge and a challenge, and my role is to walk alongside each client as they explore their story, uncover insight, and take meaningful steps toward change.

With over a decade of experience in youth ministry before switching careers, I bring a deep passion for working with teens and young adults. I understand the complexities and pressures that come with these life stages, and I’m committed to helping clients navigate identity, relationships, and emotional struggles with support and clarity.
