I wish I had someone to help me when I was younger and I first encountered chronic back pain, trauma, depression, ADHD, and anxiety. If only I knew then what I know now about the connection between neurodivergence, chronic pain, and co-occurring disorders! This is the reason I do what I do and want to be there for others.

Because of my own history, I took my first college psychology course at age 16. I had to find out why people were the way they were. I learned early on that mental health wasn’t what I was taught and that it was necessary to understand and advocate for its importance.

As I realized that clients (and I) can’t always attend in-person sessions due to physical and/or emotional difficulties, I learned to provide specialized Telehealth across California. My own difficulties with Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS), autoimmune issues, and spinal adhesive arachnoiditis helped me create a model that is accessible and concierge-like for both abled-body people and those with disabilities.

Through comprehensive, neuroaffirming psychological evaluations and/or integrative, client-centered, trauma-informed therapy, we work together on accurate differential diagnosis. Through a holistic, CBT-evidence-based approach, I examine your physical health, neurology, and mental health history so you can truly understand the reasons you are struggling.

I emphasize resilience, mindfulness, strength, hope, and humor (sometimes dark) to help equip you with practical tools to deal with life. Getting started is usually the hardest part! I'm here to listen, understand, and guide you to your best self.
