About

Heal your past. Stay in the present. Opt for your future.

I’m a trauma therapist serving The High Desert and clients across California via telehealth. I specialize in trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), cult recovery, and religious trauma. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, hypervigilance, identity confusion, and lingering shame after coercive or abusive experiences. My approach is trauma-informed and focuses on creating safety first. We use grounding skills, nervous system regulation, and practical tools to reduce anxiety, then gently process deeper patterns and past experiences. I integrate somatic techniques, parts work, and EMDR therapy (coming soon). As a culturally competent therapist with lived experience navigating different cultures, I support immigrants and first-generation clients working through identity and belonging. I offer online therapy throughout California, with in-person sessions coming soon. This is a space to heal from trauma, rebuild self-worth, and move beyond survival mode.
