Virtual therapy for high-functioning adults who feel anxious, depleted, or chronically braced
You may be capable, responsible, and outwardly successful- and still feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unable to rest.
I provide virtual, trauma-informed therapy for adults across California who are ready for deeper nervous-system-level change, not just symptom management.
This work is especially supportive for people who hve tried insight-based therapy and still feel stuck in their bodies.
Therapy for people who hold it together- but at a cost
Are high-functioning and quietly exhausted
Struggle with anxiety, people-pleasing, or over-responsibility
Notice chronic tension, shutdown, or freeze
Have a history of developmental, relational, or complex trauma
Are a mental health professional or a medical provider seeking your own care
Identify as LGBTQ+ and navigate chronic stress or vigilance
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from somatic trauma therapy. Many clients come because their systems have never fully had permission to rest.
A nervous system based approach to therapy
My work is grounded, relational, and paced with care.
Rather than focusing solely on thoughts or behaviors, we attend to how your nervous system learned to survive, and how those patterns show up now- even when they’re no longer serving you.
I integrate advanced training in somatic and trauma-focused therapy, including Compassionate Inquiry, and approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, along with IFS and attachment-oriented and relational frameworks.
Therapy is not about pushing through or “fixing” yourself.
It is about helping your system experience safety, choice, and completion.
Common reasons clients seek therapy
Clients often come to therapy for support with:
Chronic anxiety or overwhelm
People-pleasing and boundary fatigue
Trauma responses that feel “out of proportion” to the present
Burnout and compassion fatigue
Performance anxiety or freeze states
Nervous system dysregulation that doesn’t resolve with insight alone
You don’t need a perfect explanation- we listen together for what your body already knows
What therapy is like with me
Sessions are focused, attuned, and collaborative
We move slowly enough for your nervous system to stay oriented, and precisely enough to create meaninful change.
You will not be rushed, analyzed, or left alone with overwhelm.
Many clients describe this work as:
Regulating rather than activating; deep without being destabalizing
Practical considerations
Virtual therapy for adults residing in California
Licensed Clinical Social Worker #100049
Private-pay practice
Limitied availability to support depth of care
Therapy is not a crisis service
An integrated, trauma-informed approach
Rather than working from a single method, I integrate several somatic and trauma-informed approaches based on what your system needs in the moment.
Somatic and nervous-system based therapy
Compassionate Inquiry
Trauma informed IFS- Internal Family Systems
Brainspotting
Neurofeedback
Somatic Psychedelic Facilitation
These approaches are not used as techniques to “fix” you, but as tools within a relational, regulated therapeutic process.
Beginning therapy
I begin with a brief inquiry form to assess fit, scope, and readiness.
