Bio
A Licensed Professional Counselor and graduate of the esteemed Santa Clara University Counseling Psychology Program my training focused on interpersonal neurobiology, brain science, mindfulness, grief, and attachment. My style is relational and infused with non-judgment, empathy, and understanding. I am here to help you heal and to give you the tools to find and keep well-being. Think of me as a guide who will swim next to you side by side into the ocean of your experiences, understanding the currents and safety needed, who will work with you collaboratively to help facilitate healing.
Trained and supervised directly by Dr. Parnell, I utilize EMDR with a majority of my clients to process trauma, support somatic regulation, heal developmental deficits from childhood, and help heal from the traumas of the past to facilitate well-being. I specialize in individual therapy (also couples, children 10+), yet also do performance/executive coaching and basketball therapy.
