Hey, I have a question for you.

Did you ever go on one or two dates with someone… and suddenly you were in a full-blown relationship?

Everything moved so fast that you barely had time to process what was happening.

All you knew was that you couldn’t get enough of them. And they seemed to feel the same way about you.

They told you: You’re amazing You’re everything they’ve ever wanted. They’ve never felt this way before

Maybe they showered you with compliments, gifts, or constant attention.
It felt intoxicating.

But later, something changed.

If this sounds familiar, you may have experienced love bombing, a common tactic in the cycle of narcissistic abuse.

Love bombing can make the relationship feel magical at first…but it often leaves people feeling confused, hurt, and questioning themselves when the dynamic shifts.

If you’re dealing with the aftermath of a relationship like this, the confusion, the trauma, the emotional fallout, please know this:

You are not alone. And what you experienced is real.
Healing is possible.
There are people who care and want to help you make sense of what happened and support your recovery…I’m one of them.

If you’re ready to start healing from narcissistic abuse, feel free to reach out and learn how therapy can help.

You deserve clarity, peace, and healthy love.

“Do you feel like you’re in a relationship with someone who makes you feel like you’re going crazy, even though, deep down, you know you’re not?”

Maybe you’re constantly being told that you’re the problem…that something is wrong with you…that everything is somehow your fault.

But here’s the confusing part, the same person blaming you is often the one creating the chaos, the confusion, and the emotional whiplash.

That’s not you being “too sensitive.” That’s not you being “dramatic.”
That’s gaslighting, and it’s designed to make you doubt your own reality.

If this resonates, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

Reach out and let’s schedule a 15-minute free consultation to talk about what’s really happening and what support could look like for you.

In this era, we all know mental health is just as important as physical health. And yet… so many people still don’t go to therapy.

Is it time? Cost? Fear of being judged? Not knowing where to start? Worry that it won’t actually help?

There’s no shame in hesitation, and your reason matters.

If you’re comfortable, I’d genuinely love to know: What keeps you from going to therapy?

Your answer might help someone else feel less alone…If this resonates, you’re welcome to reflect or share in the comments.

The holidays often come with mixed emotions. Moments of laughter alongside moments of grief.

Connection paired with loneliness.
Gratitude mixed with exhaustion.

If you find yourself holding both joy and sadness this Christmas, nothing is wrong with you.

Your nervous system is responding to your lived experiences, memories, relationships, and losses.

You don’t have to “pick a feeling.”
You don’t have to force gratitude or positivity.

You’re allowed to honor the full range of what’s here.

This season isn’t about feeling one way…It’s about giving yourself permission to be human.

If the holidays feel heavier than you expected, support can help you process what’s coming up and move into the new year with more clarity, grounding, and self compassion.

Curious about therapy or ready for support?

If you’re looking for therapy that works, short-term, efficient, and actually effective, I might be the therapist for you.

But the truth is… we won’t know until we talk.

That’s why I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can get a feel for my style, ask questions, and see whether we’re a good fit.

🔗 Link is in my bio to book your spot.

📍 You must reside in California, since that’s where I’m licensed.

Let’s see if this is the kind of support you’ve been needing.

The holiday season can bring up a complicated mix of emotions. For many, it’s a time filled with lights, music, and celebration… and also a deep ache for the people who aren’t here to share it.

If you’re grieving a loved one, this time of year can feel especially heavy.
And here’s the truth: you can feel sadness and joy at the same time.
You can miss someone with your whole heart and still find moments of laughter… warmth… or comfort in the traditions that continue.

Both can coexist. Both are valid.

If you’re navigating grief this season, here are a few gentle ways to support yourself:
✨ Create new holiday rituals that honor your needs now
✨ Revisit traditions that bring comfort, even if they feel different
✨ Give yourself permission to step back when it’s overwhelming
✨ Hold tight to the good memories, knowing they can be a source of connection—not pressure
✨ Let others support you instead of carrying it alone

And if you need a safe place to process the emotions that come with this season, therapy can help you feel grounded, supported, and understood through it all.

💛 If you’re looking for guidance as you move through grief, you’re welcome to schedule a free 15-minute consultation(link in bio).

Let’s set the record straight — I’m not a therapy bot. 😅

Yes, I’ve read the research. Yes, I love a good worksheet. But I also trip over my words sometimes, laugh too loud, and have definitely learned a few lessons the hard way.

I’m a human first, therapist second. That means:
✨ I care deeply (sometimes too much).
✨ I’ve made mistakes — and grown from every one.
✨ I’ve listened to client feedback and used it to show up even better.
✨ I still get goosebumps when clients have breakthroughs.
✨ I believe therapy should feel real — not robotic.

I don’t have all the answers (and neither does ChatGPT), but I do bring warmth, curiosity, and a big heart to every session.

Helping people heal and grow isn’t just my job — it’s my calling.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy but want to know what it’s really like to work with a human (not a bot), I offer a FREE 15-minute consultation to help you get started.

Brainspotting Intensives are designed to help you get to the root of what’s keeping you stuck, whether it’s anxiety, depression, unhealthy relationship patterns, or codependency.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, Brainspotting taps into the brain’s natural healing processes. That means breakthroughs can happen faster and feel more complete.

Instead of weeks or months of circling around the same struggles, a focused 3 hour intensive creates the space for deep release, clarity, and real change.

The benefits:
Quick, effective and transformative.
Healing that Lasts.
Relief without the endless wait.

Are you ready to see what’s possible in one powerful 3 hour session?

Maybe you’ve tried to push through the worry, the racing thoughts, the tightness in your chest… but no matter what, it feels like your body is always “on.” Stress piles up, sleep doesn’t come easily, and even when you try to relax, you can’t fully let go.

If you’ve already tried therapy, meditation, or self care but still feel like something is stuck, it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. It just means your nervous system may need deeper support.

That’s where Brainspotting Intensives can make a difference.

In a focused 3-hour session, we go beyond coping skills and work directly with your brain and body to process the stress at its root. Clients often leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more grounded, sometimes for the first time in years.

My specialities include:
* Narcissistic abuse recovery
* Brainspotting therapy intensives
* Trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression
* Impostor syndrome

Serving all of California online
